Default Elastomer & standoffs for ZDZ engine?

The mount you describe is one I referred to -a wide base plate -
If you look at most US kits -there is a narrow mounting base - and some actual work is needed to change to the big mounting footprint-- the rotary setup with the shock - is also familiar -the shock is an iffy setup - the heat from rapid movement can kill these setups .
But yes these can be made to work -
As a little insight - most US modelers are reluctant to even use an actual muffler !- To add the muffler and a special mount - that all stayed together - well - that could be a bit much for the " bolt together and fly " guys.
These guys are not lazy - It is just that NONE of the good sound killing stuff is really popular - or at the moment , required at most fields .
