If you read it then why did you not know what mounts I had? Seems you forget things right after you read them. You simply implied the UUC mounts would reduce the wheel hop. I'm telling you they dont. Ask anybody on here that has some and they will tell you the same thing. You seem to know everything about wheel hop so when you figure out for yourself that the motor mounts do nothing for it maybe you can actually make something that does!

Raven,

Let's agree to disagree. Since I just seem to know everything, and you CLEARLY know everything, I don't want your sensitive soul to get worked up again.

In the mean time, Kudos to Mighty...

You made the revision to A or made the one that looks like an airbag?

Did you just make a wooden mold or did you use pvc or something similar?

How did you get the bolt to stay in place while the material hardened? Did you put caps on the tubing?
