solid mounts sounds a bit risky, you'll feel loads of vibrations and put a lot stress of the chassis/mounts, i'd use polyurethane instead at least you then you get a bit of leeway/movement

solid mounts are fine if all you are doing is taking your car down the strip. Otherwise you will hate every second of street driving...every bolt will eventually come loose and need to be tightened again. You will find yourself constantly trying to track down some stupid little rattle noise

Poly mounts are the way to go, especially with the power that your 3S will be putting down. They'll help reduce wheel hop to give you better traction.
