| Post subject: | Problem with Engine Mount |
I have the OS 28 in my XT8 with the OS engine mounts and hardware. I can't seem to keep the engine mount from moving. No matter how hard I tighten them, or how much loctite, still doesn't matter. Was wondering if anyone could help with this situation. Thanks. |

I have this setup and I changed to the countersunk shims and screws. The dome screws are slightly longer. |

if the assembled mount is moving, try these shims. I put them on both the 808 and the XT8. they hang down below the chassis just a millimeter or two, but dont affect the handiling at all and save the mount from moving. flat headed 4mmx10mm screws are needed as well. http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_inf ... ts_id/8655 http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_inf ... s_id/24580 So long as you dont have screws hitting the mount blocks like Bren posted, it shouldn't move even with the supplied Pan screws on the bottom of the chassis. |

My Chassis mounting bolts were bottoming out so I just shaved em a whisker on the bench grinder. |

Thanks for the help, but I already have the countersunk screws and shims. (I should have clarified that first, sorry) I have a screw depth gauge and the screws are not bottoming out. Was wondering if maybe a lock washer or something would help. Thanks again. |
