Play in RCM Losi 8ight mount

[ptt81]

well in that case I will stick with my 2200kv and 48/14 since thats what I already have and it sounds like it is a good setup as well. I'm just a basher, no racing on track so I think 2200Kv is better for me as far as temp goes, I live in TX so its also hot here during summer.

Ok here is a vid showing the play problem. The same problem remain on or off the chassis. This has nothing to do with the front or rear shaft, just the mount and center diff itself.

I found that the grove where the bearing goes into is cut a little too deep on the RCM, stock mount does not have any play. May be i got a defective mount? because no one that have RCM mount seems to have the same problem as me.

EDIT: all of mine have that play in the center diff. no biggie. i've been racing them like that for a year and 2 are brand new.

i'll video it. i misunderstood what you were saying...what you have is normal.

i guess i'll leave it like that then. but I still think for quality wise, they need to fix it for future customers so at least it is like the original mount and there would be no play at all.
