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 ?
