on a side note:

someone at my lhs said if you're running the rcm mount you can also use the 2.0 center shaft. i might have to try one to see for myself.

Lower CG rules! I like to have a competitive edge to my stuff!

Saying CG, the Losi kit raises the battery pack about 10mm higher above the chassis.:whip: you know it's the heaviest part of the buggy hanging there high..... That's another reason why I am so eagerly expecting new dedicated electric models to come.

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.

Loweset CG setup on both motor mounts and battery trays is the tekno conversions.. there is nothing as good iMO.
