?? for ADAM DRAKE: GRP .21 Tuned Doesn't Fit Losi Quick Change Engine Mount
Hey Adam (or anyone else that cares to reply),
I have a Losi 8ight that I bought used which came with the Losi quick change engine mount. I am trying to fit my new GRP .21 Tuned engine that I bought and it doesn't fit. There isn't enough clearance for the width of the lower half of the crankcase and cover to drop in all the way.
Is that normal? It seems odd that Losi promotes the GRP line of engines and their own engine mount won't fit them.

Thanks for the help guys
I guess I must have one of the early pieces that is narrower.

My GRP's fit fine in the losi mount but the only problem I have is that the losi qc mount raises the engine up a tad bit. Once I installed one I had to dremel out the flywheel opening in the chassis so the starter wheel could reach it.
Has anyone else had this issue with the mount? I did measure the mount with my calipers it's about .5mm taller than the stock losi mounts. But once in the car it looks like it raises the flywheel farther than that from the chassis opening.......

problem solved
maybe your screws are too long?!

<P>If you don't use the washers the screws will seem tight but will lift the engine away from the mount about .5mm
Thenetwerx- you have the first batch of mounts that needs to be ground out for the GRP to fit. The later version fits fine.</P>

The losi fly wheel s up higher. With the ofna chrome drop box I had to raise the motor/ wheel assembley with washers but the ofna truggy box and the losi box both worked without any difficulty and all my engines are on quick chants mounts. I think they are king headz but they all start no prob.
