I have Integy Engine Plate and FLM Engine Plate. FLM engine plate is broken, and Integy engine plate is just fine now. So anyone has suggestion? Which is the best and most durable engine plate?

I have Nova, FLM and Integy engine mounts. FLM is broken badly, Integy is curved, Nova is fine but it slips sometime although i threadlock. Any suggestions for engine mounts too?

Flm plate could have been built alot better... im gonna go with PRC plate even though i havent tried it.

I know a couple of guys running the PRC plates and they have no complaints.

I run my PRC110's in pretty much all my trucks with the stock HPI motor mounts with no problem's ever.

Ok then, the engine plate is decided. But which engine mount is to buy? The stock engine mount is the worst, it can easily be broken.

Typically the stock mount only breaks when the plate flex's or breaks. This is why I have no problems with Engine mounts. When the trucks where closer to stock I went threw Mounts and plates all the time I have not replaced either in gallons on any of the trucks now.

I'm not saying it can't happen i'm just stating my personal finding.
