Kyosho spur for the Losi diff

[speedracer1129]

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.

I know. I was referring to another car with his product.

It would take some pretty major mods to the RCM mount to make it work. I looked at ways to do it because I wanted to use the RCM mount but in the end, I had to go back to my RCPD mount, it gives lots of clearance. I also ended up ordering an extra wide steel spur from Robinson Racing, it works great with the RCM mount.

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.

Thanks for the info!!

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
