How tight should these bolts be on ERevo?
I just got me ERevo and have driven it a couple of times and was getting ready to clean it up a little and noticed when I was wiping the motor it felt loose! Anyway it seem that the 4 hex bolts that come up from the bottom are waaay to loose. I took a pic showing which ones are loose. Anyway, should these be loose at all for some reason? I am guessing they need to be snugged up but wanted to ask. I looked through the manual and saw no spec on them. Thanks

RE: How tight should these bolts be on ERevo?
well im not really into electric, but if they are some sort of engine mounts, i would tighten them pretty snug, so that the motor doesnt move around as you are saying 'it is really loose'... i have the same problem on my TMAXX, but the problem for me, is that i need a new engine mount, because it is missing 2 of the 4 screws mounting it to the chassis...
just use your judgement, as not to over tighten it, and break/strip the screw... you should notice when its tight enough, so that the engine doesnt move around...
