If the dogbone spins freely in the yoke I don't really think it'll be a problem. Though I think the added friction will produce more heat. I also think the diff will get hot from the 1527 anyway. Don't be tempted to put thick oil in the diff because that also will produce more heat (of course). All that put together equals regular diff rebuilds. I don't really know if the yoke will eat your dogbones quickly but even if it does I would expect the diff to be higher maintenance.

You can try to reduce the stress on the diff a few ways - punch control, stay of high grip surfaces (tarmac) etc.. but at the end of the day I think you just need to run it and report back with a video

That mount will still go in my truck . Check out the RC-Monster store, Mika has made a nice motor mount: http://www.rc-monster.com/proddetail.php?prod=rcmcdmm

You should see the angle on my BPP Truck . The angle on yours doesn't look that bad.

Can't blame a guy for asking ;)

I've been eyeing Mikes Universal Mount for a while. I should have just gone with it but I have what I have and would like to make it work. Wish I wasn't do stubborn.

Yes and no, the diff will get hot but it won't affect anything.

Ok, thanks. I just assumed that it's heavy and I'd need some thick oil in the center diff.
