Kyosho spur for the Losi diff -
08.18.2008, 08:19 PM
Hey guys. I just picked up my next speed project, a Losi 8ight T. I need to know what do I need to mount a Kyosho plastic spur gear on the diff? Any help is appreciated!!
The Kyosho gear will bolt right onto the diff no problem. I did run into an issue with clearance to the RCM mount, the Kyosho gear is more offset and it binds on the mount. I probably could make it work but I had a different conversion mount that works fine.
Mike said his LOSI motor mount was not made to work with the kyosho plastic spur.
I hope that is not the case as I am happy with the Kyosho mount I got from him!! Maybe he can chime in and give some advise as I have to use the Kyosho gear for my application!!

I was talking about his LOSI motor mount & the kyosho spur, not the KYOSHO motor mount . This is what he told me when we talked about it a while back.
No mods to the RCM mount necessary. Here is what you have to do: Find a thin 8mm washer that fits on the front side of the center diff rear bearing and you are set. The main problem that I encountered with the kyosho spur was oil leakage. The slot where the o-ring sits is a little wider, which may to blame.
Check out my custom converted 8ight:
Sub 7lb, lowest CG of any 1/8 buggy
my hyper diff also leaks slowly.
o well. a small price to pay for that extra surface area and quiet
should be less hard on the pinion too.
hope you get it working
