Ok, after taking everything apart I was going to make a new brace but after checking the flex I notice the center diff supports were a little loose. I am using a 49T spur so I had to raise it to clear the chassis. Kyosho supplies some plastic spacers for this purpose, but they were not designed to support the diff and a brushless motor. The plastic is too soft, and gives, which adds to the flex. Mike's mount is a great piece of engineering and many have used it without issue. So I decided to stick with Mike's mount as is, I will machine some new diff spacers out of 7075 aluminum which should help with the center diff flex. Most of the force from driving a off-road truck is up-and-down, not side-to-side, so I think the mount will be fiine once I make new spacers.
