Default Lst-2 clicking when braking

My new Lst is clicking when it brakes, it brakes, but the clicking doesn't sound right, I picked it up and listened while braking and it almost sounds like the front driveline, but everything looks in order, any hints....Thanks in advance.

mine did that too, it's a muggy now and it still does that, i think that it's because the break pads are sort of synthetic, like what silicone spray feels like on a piece of plastic, so it holds the discs, then they turn forward like 20 degrees, then they stop, then they move another 20 degrees, then stops, like ABS but different.

Most likely your dif case has come apart and the planetary/sun gears are slipping. This was extremely common on the LST 1 as it had plastic cases that cracked easily. Check to see if one of the screws came loose on the dif case or check for bad mesh.

Also mine does the same things. I thought it had to do something with the slipper[&:]?? I dont think its the diffs but the brake system its self because when/if i have the brakes set up so they brake harder then i get that clicking but if they are a bit more "loose" i dont have the clicks. Im also trying to find a losi 8ight disk brake

on mine when braking the front end bends warps or whatever you call it before that the truck was doing stoppies . well go and find out it loosens up all the front end screws and the whole front end driveline bends up(from the front diffs to the tranny where the brakes are). unfortunately the only fix for me was to tighten all the csrews or if stripped use epoxy and fill the hole and retap them and use a heavy duty rubber cement or shoe goo to keep the screws in place so it dosent bend up the driveline. over time it will start to strip the diff gears if not caught in time.
