stock motor ? if yes ... doesn't matter you don't have enough torq to break a mount !
actully you would want the interlocking mount, the design keeps the mount from literally falling apart. if it fails.

The interlocing (safety) type mounts are what i put into mine. It will keep the motor from lifting up too much when the mount does break.
