Default Tonight's work.

Yellow springs, Dynamite engine brace, spur gears, clutch bell (maybe), New air filter, exhaust seals, 2-speed slipper pads and plates, clutch shoes and springs, and a new LRP Z.28R spec 3 With a Buku exhaust. Hopefully it goes well.

Do I use the Losi brass sleeve on the output shaft of the motor or the Lrp brass sleeve? I've read the answer somewhere in the past but can't find the post.

Jeez, I don't think it matters. They should both look the same. Since you are probably reusing the old flywheel, I would probably use the old sleeve.

Use the Losi Collet.......It's shorter than most others.....& it's always a Good idea to use the Collet that came with the Flywheel.......Not the New Engine

I just finished installing my first clutch. Not as bad as I expected. I did use the losi collet as it was shorter. Thanks again

It wasn;t bad, I had to cut slots into some screws to get them out. I had a bad tooth in one of my diff's when I started break in today so about the 6th or 7th tank I think I broke a few teeth. It still moves but does some grinding. So,,,, tonights work is to pull out the diffs and rebuild.

Nice looking truck.. Would love to see some video of your truck once broken in... I've still never seen good video footage of an LST2 with a Buku pipe(and LRP, even better - ..) Would be cool to see it screaming across the whole rev range, from a stop all the way to WOT..(and held at WOT..)

Soon, I'm going to steal the diffs out of my aftershock today and order some new ones for my second truck.
