Hey having problems with gear alignment had to change to 60 tooth due to my source of supply being out of stock parts... very irritating about to buy a whole new truck another brand.
 
Man, don't throw in the towel yet. There's hope at the end of the "dark RCMK tunnel" :)) Have you tried Dave's for parts? He always has what I'm lookin for and if not, which is very seldom, it goes on b.o. and usually arrives w/in 30 days. Call him if you want an estimated eta.

I'm usin mine for on-road playin around "thunder runs" w/ a O'Neill hot rod motor which was NO party to get fitted onto the chassis. They design there motor cases around Losi & HPI which is understandable. Have to go where the volume is. I just wish I knew it was goin to be a headache to fit before I spent the $$ on the motor. I feel sorry for the guy who doesn't have a dremel and a lot of patience. Good luck my brotha.

Ok, bring me up to speed. Have you changed out the stock motor / clutch, did it just come that way from the factory, you think it's due from useage - looks like it's got some miles on it.

NOV 2015 Bought xcr last week broke center diff ordered 60 tooth from DDM there out of stock center diff catching get it getting gears to messhave correctly... used clutch bell up to 22 tooth chewed it up... not understanding engine mount to t181
 
Hmmmm, think we've got a language barrier. Thanks ok, we'll try to work through it. What do you mean "not understanding engine mount to t181". I'm not understandin either :)

I can understand parts break. Did DDM ever get the center diff part in stock you were lookin for? How long ago did you order it? Have you talked to to them on parts eta?
 
Ok just look at manual engine mount spacers that's one of my issues ... trying to figure out how they are used in my case with non stock center diff gear....

I got it figured out mount spacers are the key... now problems with diffs front wheels turn over faster than rear is that the way it's set up or what

bb214c ESP Ported 30.5cc 4-Bolt Zenoah from DDM hope it fits
 
Those T81 spacers are for stock gearing. You need to buy spacers/ inserts for proper gearing. Watch some videos on gear mesh, that will help. That's same set up they use on the Losi 5ive also.
 
Awesome - I have always been curious.

Biggest issue I seen was parts availability if something gets damaged, And it will happen.
Keep us in the loop on this one.
