RE: Mini LST
Got some new goodies for my MSLT. Got in a wreck about a month ago, the integy body posts (probably the only thing intedy makes that doesnt break[:-])broke strait through the stock shock towers
So i got some Hot Racing shock towers and to fix the steering problems, i got the GPM steering assembly.

RE: Mini LST
heheh at least you didnt get the integy shock towers, one guy got them and there isnt even a place for the body clips to go
anyone with stock side gears in their viscous diffs ran their trucks yet? how are they holding up... pretty reluctant to run my own truck , cuz if i run on asphalt i'll sacrifice my claw tires, if i run on grass i'll have to pick little worms and snail things and lots of mud and grass out from under the wheels and chassis(been really rainy lately), and i dont have anywhere else to run.... i would like some 1/10 scale non-racing tires that isnt too thick compared to the stock tires, and 1/10 wheels that dont need the stock axle to be any longer than it is...

RE: Mini LST
I really dont think that the claw tires will wear out too much on the aspalth, I have been running mines for almost a year in the road and they still have thread left.
PD: you actually have to pick live worms out of your mini lst? lol

RE: Mini LST
good newsssss-
finally shimmed up both my diffs (instead of the small rubber o-ring)s and they work properly. Great when you have to modify a product thats classified as an upgrade. NOw if only i didnt break my wheel!!

RE: Mini LST
hey nitroracer20, i take that as a 'yes' to what im doing as actually working?
and yeah, you cant imagine what kind of cr@p that i have to deal with after each run, especially at the rear lower skidplate... the thing is its not just grass above soil and my mlst rolling over it all, its all mixed up in the terrain with who knows what thrown in, and the rear skidplate is basically preening anything thats on the grass and they end up at the rear of the chassis....
to help with this ive bought an http://www.killerhobbies.com/items/t...105-detail.htm esp bumper that im gonna put in the rear... yup ive bought the last one over at killer... im hoping that sloped inner section will stop the chassis acting like a scoop
youve been running your claw tires for a year under what kind of power.... my gpm tires look pristine with a center balldiff after half a dozen runs, once the center spool and viscous diffs went in ,you could see wear straight away after a single test run... which was coincidentally also enough to show that the particular gear mod i was testing at the time didnt do the trick...

RE: Mini LST
It really depends on how much stress is going to be put on a particular part. I don't think any part is under that much stress on the Mini-LST compared to larger trucks like the LST2. When you get to those larger parts, you can really tell the strength of different alloys.

RE: Mini LST
well im really glad to say that ive just finished my first ever battery pack with a spool... ever, not even when the spool was the only thing i changed in the truck a year ago, but then again i didnt know about shimming and i was doing reverse-forward kicks to try to wheelie....
last worked on my truck on sunday, its just been sitting there cuz ive been kinda busy and also i was getting kinda sick of working on it whenever it broke, thankfully it didnt break this time

RE: Mini LST
Hey guys. We recently added the CAW extended chassis package from Racers Edge. We are only getting 18 of these in stock next week and once they run out, we won't be offering them again. Grab them while you can! I know I'm taking one out for myself, especially since you can use the larger HS-81 servos in it!!

RE: Mini LST
can i just grab a front skidplate? i need another one to complete the chassis i have lying right here... the last one bent out, again
have you tried actually putting the chassis together and seeing if it comes together smoothly? if its a milestone better than the 2 or 3 chasses i bought , then i might just buy another one simply cuz it works properly and i dont have to hammer the chassis parts into the correct shape... of course i would also like some fundemental changes to be made to the chassis like having none of those decorative holes on the skidplate,but thats another thing altogether...

Hey i'm getting a MLST tomorrow, and I know that I need to boil the gears. How do I do this? I read about somewhere, but I can't find that thread anymore. Thanks.
