Losi 1/8 8ight E 4wd Thread
#8011
I set my mesh like how UN4RACING said he does his. As tight as possible without the gears binding up. And it's quiet out on the track as well.

Yes, the spur does sit very close to the mount. If you can move the diff in the diff mount, I would put some shims in there so the spur doesnt hit the mount.

thanks for reply. Im just getting sick of stripping the 45 tooth plastic spur. I have a metal 46 tooth is the reason for me asking, and dont wanna buy the 45 tooth metal one lol. Im clueless to why I keep stripping the spur, I have the mesh just right. On other buggies that used plastic spurs I never stripped one. Just with the losi Im having issues.
For what ever reason the Tekin RX8 esc seems to work best with plastic, stripped quite a few when using Castle MMM
15/45 is a sweet set up, I run 16/48 and DREMIL the chassis slightly for clearance, I've ran 17/50 on large tracks

It shouldn't have reached hot enough temps in that short amount of time then. The only thing I can think of is the mesh wasn't tight enough. (Not saying you dont know how to set it) I've raced about 5 times with my new E car with huge jumps, sections where I needed to be on the gas hard, and haven't had any problems. Same with a few other locals around here.

I didn't realize it until I started heat-gunning everything and saw that the pinion and center diff were at like 160 or so. Not sure how hot they were at the time of failure.
So if you're (OP) still having problems, pull out the temp gun and hit your pinion and diff gear and see where they're temping at. After running the TEN-SCTE for a while, I've learned that it's not a bad idea to temp the area with where the front and rear ring and pinions connect to the F/R driveshafts every so often. I've seen a few diff cases melt due to failed bearings and it's a good way to keep those in check. Failure of those is a PITA.
I've since replaced the motor bearing with a ceramic and have been since.
