I'm not sure where you saw the "Made in China" labels on our products but our "cheap Chinese plastic" is actually a high temp nylon made in the UK along with all of the other parts on our vehicles.

The stripping of gears is usually caused my improper gear mesh whereas you have either removed the engine from the vehicle and not properly re-meshed the gears, or you have hit an object during use that has literally jarred the engine and the mesh of the gears has been changed.

Double check the gear mesh on your vehicle and you'll stop stripping gears 99% of the time.

As for the motor mounts the stock ones on the car will fit any standard 21 engine. If you wanted to put a 28 on the car part number U3235 with fit most standard 28 engines.

I wouldn't be so quick to judge the "crappy thunder tiger engines" companies have used them as RTR engines for years and that has been an entry level with phenomenal results for beginners with ease of tuning and long life spans.

if you have further concerns feel free to contact us directly at Schumacher USA (813) 889-9691, or email myself ar Shawn Palmer adam@schumacherusa.net shawn@schumacherusa.net

It does in fact make is stronger but in an impact the energy will have to go somewhere and that usually means breaking more expensive parts.

On a side note it will make it heavier too
