my CEN buggy goes through spur gears a lot faster than my ofna lx1-e. the pinion gears are the same, the spur gears are both plastic, and the motor is the exact same. the only time my ofna chews up a gear is when the motor mount screws come loose. my CEN buggy will chew up a gear occasionally, especially if i am doing some big jumps.
the ofna has a center diff mounted motor mount
the CEN has a chassis mounted 4-5mm (very thick) aluminum angle motor mount.
in my opinion, mike's newer style motor mounts and the elite-rc motor mounts are by far the most durable, effective and precise motor mounts that money can buy. i like the price and looks of mike's mounts better, but i like how the elite-rc mounts are very easy to adjust gear mesh with. to be honest, if mike's mounts and the elite-rc mounts were the same price, i would choose the elite mounts first. that easy gear mesh adjustment is what i really like about them and what i would love to see in mike's motor mounts.
