The worse thing is, the mount has only two screws to hold the motor, and the contact area covers only half of the front endbell, the 2 screws will take HUGE force when landing hard, also the screw holes of the front endbell might be stripped. (I was considering to purchase a RCM mount to replace the Losi)
As a temporary solution I applied some A+B epoxy resin mixed with cotton fiber between the rear endbell and the chassis. but when adjusting gear mesh the motor height changes, that drove me nuts.
Do you have an idea to better support the motor while keep the mesh adjustment easy(one of the few major advantage of Losi kit) ? Thanks.

himalaya, I use a modded Losi rear motor support on both my Tekin T8 and CastleNeu motors. I posted a "how to" on another site, I will try to locate the post and if I can't I will look for the pictures and post here. You are correct, with those big heavy motors hanging just by the front endbell, you are putting a lot of stress on the endbell and motor mount.
