FMS Motor Mount

[OV10]

Hello Alpha and the rest of the MRC crew,
A lot of the 1400 and 1300 FMX birds use the same motor.
You folks carry the SU127 motor mount for those motors but it only has sheet metal screws to attach the Xmount to the firewall but no metric screws to attach the motor to the mount.

Unfortunately those metric screws are not available at local hardware stores and if your a modder like me that uses FMS stuff on other ARF's or you are just replacing a motors mount and buggar up the metric screw while removing(loctite) your now out of luck.
FMS makes the same Xmount with the metric screws included and no sheet metal which is ok because those screws are easily obtained.
The part number that I am requesting is SV127.

I do all my FMS part shopping via MRC except for this part which I am forced to reluctantly use your competitor.
How about upgrading your inventory from the SU127 to the SV127. Am pretty confident that the rest of MRC's customers would appreciate it to.
Thanx in advance,

Hello MRC,
I'm guessing that ya'll may have missed answering this post because it occurred around the time you were getting ready to kick the new forum format out to us.
Hopefully there is now a little time in your schedule to look into this request.
Best regards,

[Alpha]

Hey there OV10, thanks for the suggestion. We'll add this to our product request list with FMS and see if they can add these on future containers. As always we appreciate feedback from our customer family!

Metric screws are common at any hobby shop that deals in RC cars.

For just some screws I don't have a lot of patience to wait for the mail/UPS...

I used to go to "Fastenal" screw/bolt/nut dealer but they now require that I purchase 100 on most sizes or 1000 on some odd sizes that are easy to get in the little baggie of 4 or 6 at the hobby shop.

You're very fortunate that you have a local hobby shop that is worth a visit. My local shop is pathetic excuse for a Hobby Shop whereas I have to drive an hour to get to a place that actually looks like a hobby store and stocks and caters to the hobby enthusiast. Thank goodness for Motion and I can wait for the mail to travel 600 miles in 3 days. I used to use Fastenal also until they changed their MOQ(min order qty). For this Xmount screw issue, the solution that Motion is willing to move forward on is a really good alternative for me and I suspect many others too.
Best regards,
