I know some 3racing stuff is a bit below par and ideally we'd all stick to branded Tamiya stuff but in this case the 3racing mount is fine, its not a "high stress" part really so quality is not a major issue (although in this case the quality is actually OK), and at the end of the day its half the cost of the (exorbitant) Tamiya part plus you get the large mount and the two smaller mounts in one pack. With Tamiya you have to buy the front and rear of each end of the car separate ie 4 packs and that my friends is a total rip-off
