I have the original HOt boddies buggy, I blew the motor and I have a couple ofna motors and I need to get a motor mount for this buggy. It is the orignal Buggy, also i have the ofna universal mounts and it doesn't work I also have an XTM motor and the stock motor mounts will fit the XTm but the shaft is the wrong shaft on the motor. Any ideas? Or anywhere I can get new motor plates or anything to make this work
thanks

I have the original mounts but the mounts don't line up to any other motor. I can't beleave the problem, I have never seen anything like it. Also anyone have any sugestions for a good cheap motor for this buggy. I heard thunder tiger but Ihave never used one of those. It is a 1/8 scale buggy and uses at least the .21 motor.
a-mains has a lightning 2 and the lighttning stadium parts, I need the regular one. I have the original Hot bodies lightning.

there the same from my knowledge as i have the orginals ( mototr mounts ) on my lightning stadium right now..

i have heard there are a couple mototrs that requirw special mounts, but never ran acros one. os rg is a decent motor, ofne hyper 8 is another cheep but good mtotr

On other buggys there are somtimes spacial mounts for picco based that do not fit other brands.

I have to say this isn't the stadium. This is the original Lightning Buggy 1/8 scale. It is around 4 years old. I am trying to find the piece and anyone know of anywhere to find it?
Thanks

Try RC Planet (http://www.rcplanet.com/) That's where I go when I need parts for my Lightning Pro 1 buggy.

ok maybe you misunderstood my last post.
they will fit as they have not changed the motor mount design from when the first started with the buggy or thr truggy the all use the same mounts. heck i have like 3 extra mounts sitting in my parts box, but that does you no good..
