WARNING! Losi conversion KIT

Still, if you get the RCM mount, you'll have zero issues with rubbing on the chassis as it raises the center diff a few mm and i don't get any rubbing on the mount from the spur either. I run 45T with no problems at all. Not only that, it's an awsome mount that allows you to gear as high or low as you want. that's one thing that no other 8ight conversion seems to offer right now.

the wheel freespin i get is crazy...no binding at all. RCM mounts rule!

Yes, the RCM mount is what I am planning to invest.

Losi's mount is so thick that I can NEVER install my pinion like the way you did in you picture.
the Losi mount's center hole is so small that most of my mod 1 pinions can not be used because they have bigger bore(the untoothed section), like this one:

Also, the RCM mount allows the motor to move horizontally when adjusting mesh, making it much easier to make a motor rear end brace.

DwightSchrute from this pic it looks like you are using the Losi motor brace, how did you make it work together with RCM mount when adjusting mesh ? the mount moves the motor horizontally but the brace supposes the motor to move in a slope according to the losi mount ?

i'm not sure i'm understanding your question. are you asking how the top brace that is over the spur gear still fits with the RCM mount?

if so, the rcm mount has a spacer that goes under the front mount so it levels out the front and rear mounts to be the same height so it really dosen't have any effect on how the motor is moved when meshing. it also raises the center diff some because the rcm mount is a bit taller than the losi mount. i hope that answered your question.

or are you referring to the black "L" shaped plastic that goes under the losi mount? if so, you don't need that piece anymore when you use the rcm mount because their taller and allow for more clearance for the gear. i have since taken them all out of my 8ights. I imagine if you used both you might manage a 48t spur, but i'm not sure.

Sorry for the confusion, English is my second language.

I was talking about the motor brace that lays underneath the motor can to support the motor body during hard landing. This component:


It is arc shaped, when you move your motor horizontally, this plastic brace will get in the way. The brace was designed for Losi's 39mm motor, thinner 36mm motors may have less problem here, but will have no support on the rear end of the motor.
