Or if you do not want to have to remove the center diff to easily adjust the gear mesh, change pinions or service the motor you can get.

I have used both mounts on my MBX6E and the difference is HUGE!
the Elite mount also has a space to put an optional extra bearing (size the same as a gas clutch bell bearing) to distribute wear, load and stress to prolong the life of your more expensive motor bearing, as well as itself acting as a dust guard to the original bearing. This mount is strong as a rock and the motor actually stays put better than the RC monster mount. Motor swaps are a breeze too. Just be sure to get either the Robinson racing or HPI shorter pinions for that Elitercd motor mount.

Then the RC Monster battery trays break alot. (buddy & I went thru 5 of them at over $250usD to learn that lesson). If you got a Associated, Losi, Kyosho or Ofna hyper 9E battery tray for about $15 USD (haven't broke one of them yet), your still getting better quality mount and tray cheaper than that RC monster combo.

But, as a counter-argument (for some balance), The RC-Monster mount is quite a bit cheaper. Also, I've NEVER had any problems with the RC-Monster battery trays, either I'm lucky, or there's something you just aren't doing right. Obviously, there can't be much of an issue with them, as they are still very popular, and aren't moaned about - unlike the Losi battery tray.

I do like the Elite-RCD motor mount though - very nice. The guy has taken Mike's ideas and made a nice few improvements to the design. I particularly like the bearing idea.

I have a Elite Motor mount on my truggy. It's a worthwhile buy. Good luck. RCM Conversions are pretty good. My frds uses them.
