Megan racing sells polyurethane filled stock motor mounts.
However before spending money on them i'd just fill my set or have somebody else do it.
Where are you from?

Can't help you then, just buy a set of used motor mounts and fill them.

so if using medium soft will give less vibration to the carriage then why do people use 80A hard?

I personally use a 72A shore.
Performance wise harder mounts give faster throttle response and have some other advantages. I'd use a 60a shore instead of a 40 anyway.
