Funny you mention that, that's exactly what I did before Christmas and I have had issues.

 

First off, I shoud say it drives like a dream., when it's working. However I've had a problem with the motor mount moving out of position, ultimately resulting in what you see in these photos.... (finally ended up fully  knacked today)

 

So, that's £20 and a wait for a new chassis plate. And I am thinking a couple of steel or carbon fibre plates bolted top and bottom to screw the motor mount into.

 

Other than that I'm dead pleased...

I've recently gotten the 9020 too and didn't like the stock motor mount.  It shifted. At speed.  I ended up running into the wheel of my actual car, car and bent the chassis a little 🤦‍♂️  .  I scrapped that stupid motor mount and got the truggy mount instead.  Part number:  8456.  It's been solid since even though the chassis doesn't have the third hole for the mount (it replaces the rear panel on the centre diff housing and is held by those two screws).  You wouldn't have to replace the chassis with this mount either.  Here's my build:

I trimmed the body shell back from the front too.  I didn't like the way it hung over the front diff.  Also lined it with some heat and duct tape to try and keep it together.
