+1 on Racer's Edge mount. RCE5305 Revo .21 Drop In Conversion Kit.

I have it and love it. Almost 2 years of bashing and it is in perfect shape. Easy to adjust, nice throttle linkage mount, and no evidence it is going to break for another 10 years. Worth every penny.

Don't skimp. The money you "save" on the mount will either be spent on GEARS (because the mount won't hold the mesh properly) or in another MOUNT (because you hate the one you bought).

Case in point: I have a barely used OFNA mount for sale for $0.23...because that's what it's worth. No matter that I paid $25 for the stupid thing.

Get the Racer's Edge or New Era. Or go to your LHS and scope out any .21 conversions they have on hand. Chances are there are others that will work...

Hey keithinspace, i've order my racer edge mount on ebay, but i can't find the link anymore. And when you go on the racer edge website, this mount is not list.
I think that racer edge don't produce it anymore[&o] Don't know why????

keithinspace

Concur. I've had a very difficult time finding it.

The story behind my personal mount:

I purchased my Picco MAX and OFNA mount a week before taking my car to Kansas to visit my brother, who newly purchased a Team Associated MGT 4.6. I took about 5 goood jumps before the OFNA mount "rocked" due to the poorly fitting screw holes on the mount itself, hosed my gear mesh, and totally trashed my newly purchased $50 Robinson Racing pinion/spur.

We took "the long drive" to the LHS...a HobbyTown. They didn't seem to have anything to help. For giggles, I shuffled through their discount bin...stuff that didn't sell and wasn't on their wall anymore. I found the Racer's Edge mount there. I wasn't looking for it per se, but instantly recognized the size, shape, and configuration. Looking at my car confirmed that it'd fit like a glove. Bought it 50% off for $20. Lucky.

Finding them is like finding hen's teeth. Outside of the Racer's Edge unit, it seems this New Era is quite nice. I'd just go with that one. The only difference is the throttle pivot mount...the Racer's Edge uses a billet aluminum piece, but the plate-type approach that New Era uses looks just as functional.

I've paid $49.00 for mine[:@]
The only thing, is the instruction sheet they send me with it is very un-readable, and they said i have to modify the stock mount on the revo to fit the racer edge and i can't see how to did it.[&o]

keithinspace

I vaguely recall such a document and it confused me. I made no modifications and it fits like a glove.

dakamat

Thank's, i'll try to fit it this week-end, i'll have some time left for this

mmduc

i have a red dot in my revo with the ofna mount, can someone tell me where to buy the racers edge mount ? a web sight and part number?

The traxxas mount doesnt have anything to attach your throttle linkage too!! Found this out AFTER i bought one.

leroycool1

i told you that you need to mod that !!!!

dakamat

I use Tekno rc trottle linkage kit, this is awesome, never go back

oompwa

If you buy the kit, instead of just the mount, it comes with two different throttle linkage arms.

As I said...hen's teeth.

Sounds like an equal alternative to the Racer's Edge mount (Part Number RCE5305) is the New Era mount.
