You're right, the Mugen diff won't work with the Kyosho spur.
Mike made a custom diff mount that uses the Hot Bodies center diff.
It works great and mounts in the original diff mounting holes, so the chassis didn't need to be altered at all.

How much does the whole setup weight ?

Thx !

Looks great !

PS, the only thing I would alter in that setup is the motor mounted high like that... it really puts the center of gravity much higher. The motor is about a pound, much heavier than the head on a nitro. I think you will find the buggy leans a lot in corner and if it doesnt, you're losing on traction by compensating with heavier springs.
