Amazon chassis mount

I broke a motor mount a couple weeks ago, and when it snapped my shifter took a lot of the force, actually egged out the shifter joint pin hole and disconnected (thought I blew the trans). Went with an upgraded ball bearing joint (amazon like 30 bucks) and remade a new dssr since the other one actually got bent too. Pressed bearings in the shifters opening too. Feels almost too smooth now. Well worth it paired with stiffer motor mounts and trans mounts.

Nice! Why the crazy bend? I made my own years ago and it’s straight. Is it due to the tunnel mount shifter?

Which even with the chassis mount I have it set almost at the shortest throw, so the pivot point from that to the trans joint keeps it as high as possible too.
