Xray NT1 Alu Monoblock Engine mount

Xray have released this optional monoblock engine mount for the NT1. Providing solid engine mounting and easy adjustment, the unique keyed-mount design allows for the easy removal and replacement of the engine without the need for gear mesh re-adjustment after every replacement. The smartly-designed mounting system consists of two components, an adjustable base mounted to the chassis, and a pair of upper mounts (sold separately) which remain attached to the engine crankcase that key to the adjustable base. The monoblock provides a stiffer design than the standard single engine mounts but is still a bit more flexible than the Multi-Flex 1-piece engine mounting system, and is recommended for low and medium traction conditions.
