Play in RCM Losi 8ight mount

[DwightSchrute]

i've never heard of anyone having to shim the center diff on a new build, but if it works, it's not gonna cause any harm as long as the conversion was done right.

can you maybe take a close up video of the motor mount, the center diff and the rear drive shaft and demonstrate the issue? i'd like to see exactly where the play is coming from. i have a brand new 2.0 sitting next to me and mine dosen't do that.

as far as the front and rear diffs.....the 2.0 comes with extra diff shims. the 1.0 didn't that i could remember. some drivers like to run a tighter diff setup side to side.

some drivers say it seats things better in the longrun after the diff breakin. every diff is going to shim a little differently. it's really nothing to be concerned about.

also, your drive train sounds new and perfect. like BrianG said, it's absolutely normal.

as far as the 2200, it depends on the track. right now, our points leader is winning every damn race with a 2200 on 4S hyperions geared 48/14.

i run a 2650 on 4S and i'm right there with him, he's just a better driver some days.

some people say the systems tend to run hotter that way and you ought to run a lower kv motor with it, but my temps rarely see anything over about 165-170.

obviously,if you live in nevada, then i would recommend a lower kv motor.... as running a 2650 in 115 degree weather is gonna make it run hotter than 2650 in 80 degree weather, but i've had good results on the 2650 and the 2200.
