yeah yeah i know everyone hates it and ill probably get too eventually, but id rather spend only 3$ to get the losi to work as opposed to 50$ for an rcm mount. Shark413 got it to work, so its possible. ill only be bashing so if everythings not smooth as butter, thats ok.

Update:

Ok I have taken the truggy out three practice/race weekends and put about 12 5s lipo packs thru the truggy. Continues to impress with great handling and speed. The 120 degree Smart Diff ramps and two .15mm springs seems to have reduced the front tire ballooning issue. I have zero issues with the electronics. The fit and finish of the Losi kit is a little less than perfect, pulled one shock end off. It appeared to be over tigthened from the factory. Another thing I noticed is the shock end does not seem to have as deep a thread as my Kyosho shock end did. Tore all the shocks apart an found one of the rear shocks had a stripped screw holding the piston partially on (from the factory). Since those longer shafts are impossible to find, I bought a 2-56 tap and retapped the shaft. One axle/hub pin was found to be broken and the stock front rims rub big time on the suspension arms. Kingheadz rear carrier is working great (larger bearing). But no major breakage and the drivetrain is still tight. Overall I am very happy with the Losi truggy, conversion kit and MMM combo.

Took the center Smart diff apart to check. It had plenty of grease, the grease was still semi-clear and the gears, ramps, etc. still looked good. Have three race weekends on the diff. I have a Tekin T8 2000kv motor on the way and I will try that with my MMM ESC in a sensorless mode to see how it compares to the MMM 2200kv motor.
