What plastic spur gear do you use? Still the Mugen Diff housing? We fitted a custom made Delrin spur (expensive stuff). Would be interesting to fit a less expensive and ready to buy plastic spur. Thanx ...

I am using the spur adapter and stand offs from the MSR kit. The Ofna 51T plastic spur fits the adapter with just a touch from the drill

I also found that the Losi8 diff fits the mugen (barely) so the kyosho gears and a Losi8 diff is another option.

also, on the mech. brake. Did you make/fabricate the mount yourself?

Yes, I made both mounts from 7075 t-6 aluminum using just a drill and a dremel
