Installing Brushless Motor Assembly in Losi 8ight
Rotate the center differential 180o and remount it using the two
included Novak Losi-8 plastic spacers (Figure 18). The spacers
allow the differential to be mounted so that the spur gear will
clear chassis. If you don’t want to space up the differential, you
can Dremel out a slot in the chassis to clear the spur gear.

ESC Mounting in Losi 8ight Vehicle.
Using the two #6x1” Phillips FH Self-Tapping screws (see Figure

Note: Be sure there is adequate ventilation over the
