Engine Mount

[CALIC]

HI, i have just bought a 2 speed gear for my Fg baja from ebay. The seller told me that i need an engine mount. what is an engine mount and were do i place it? and which 1 fits as there are lots of diffrent shapes.

Thanks for all your help!

the mount is the 2 pieces that mount the motor to the chassis. if u still have the plastic ones aluminum is what u need. it will work with the plastic but the plastic ones cause flexing and result in stripped gears.

Fg Baja #'s 6134/1 & 6135. The 6135 is the one that will flex because the extra length. Switch them both out to alloy is a good idea anyway.

6135:


6134-1:

and while you're at it get an alloy gear plate, the alloy engine mounts and plate are a first must have and needed upgrade for the fg's drivetrain, next would be alloy upper rear arms then you're pretty good to go as far as esentials go.
You will love the 2 speed, you will probably need to change the gearing, what's it going on mt, marder baja?

You'll love it. when you change the gears make sure you buy steel pinions and get some alloy upper arms...before i got mine the rear arm and drive shaft would flex into the 1st gear spur and destroy it, i tried a steel spur but it scored the driveshaft and then it snapped...as soon as put alloy upper arms on the problem was cured .

they're the same ones I have, work a treat., make sure you ask if there is any slop between the arm and pin.
