So running with just the red brace at the bottom isn't enough? Huge bummer. Last parts I ordered on the 4th still haven't arrived and that was just nuts for wheel axles and new pins as I lost one at the park when my wheel flew off from forgetting to tighten them after replacing A-arms/turnbuckles with new ones from the V3. For anyone who is nowhere near a LHS, and loses a axle/hex pin, heres a tip for what I used. A 10 gauge surgical steel straight plug (body jewelry) works perfectly if you have a jewelry shop nearby that has gauges.
I have a good tip for you! When changing out that motor mount u will probably have to remove the pinion. Arrma pours the whole bottle of Loctite on there so take a lighter and hold it on the pinion grub screw. Or take a soldering Iron and let it sit on there for 2-5mins. That way the red Loctite will be buttery smooth and will come right of!
Appreciate it, I actually already had to do this because the truck was a Senton 3s that I got tired of dumping rocks out of so I bought all the part and converted it to a Big Rock. If I remember right (could be off on this, my memory isn't the best) the 15t pinion doesn't have to come off to get the motor off the mount but the 20t (absolutely certain of this) did. I stripped the grub and after failing with heat as I had already read about the issue, and with a tap out, used a dremel and still could not remove it. Horizon Hobby sent me a replacement motor as at that point it wouldn't even press off with a bearing puller.
You only need that one plastic piece. Also when replacing don't unscrew the motor screw. There is a screw hidden behind where the spur sits. Unscrew that and the plastic piece you broke will come out
I'm really confused by what you are saying. This is what broke, there is no screw behind the spur to remove? After the 3 screws come out that hold these together the part with the pull tab usually comes out with spur in it, just slide it and bearing out and slap bearing in new one right? One from the mega looks identical so i'm assuming it will work?You only need that one plastic piece. Also when replacing don't unscrew the motor screw.

What is the relation between that screw and the part I circled as far as replacing just that piece? I thought that screw was for the motor mount to screw to the opposite plastic piece? Motor isn't attached to what I need to replace.
It is! I know you weren't arguing. But it felt like it was going to turn into 1! They are interchangeable. I have a 6s motor on 1 and a 3s motor on another motor mount. 3s= street bashing , 6s= SPEED RUNS!
Awesome, I actually went ahead and ordered one, but out of being curious asked Horizon Hobby and they responded that they were not sure, but were going to send me out a replacement for my model. So now i'll have a spare for next time I break one trying to pull the motor module out from the chassis.
I'm eyeballing a 6s Kraton next.
Told you, Horizon makes it right! Leaky shocks on a v2? HAHA no more!Awesome, I actually went ahead and ordered one, but out of being curious asked Horizon Hobby and they responded that they were not sure, but were going to send me out a replacement for my model.
