Hey everyone, I have an lst2 with the rpms and lunsfords all around. And of course that means that the next weakest thing down the line is the carriers and the belcrank(both are stock). Should I upgrade my carriers or is it going to take it out on my belcrank. And If I do both is it going to just kill my servos? If I install more servo saver clips will this cure or aid my problem of breaking spindles? I am happy because instead of breaking $10 swing arms, im breaking 7 dollar spindles, but Id rather not break anything if possible. Thanks.

I think GPM is the same as Chin Ngai, Hong Kong. The only place I have seen the GPM bellcranks is on the bay, but I think A main had them too at one point (they no longer list them I just checked though they do show up on a Google search). There are two sets currently on the bay. Pretty reasonable price too.

The additional caster can increase on power steering, they really helped the muggy, I use them on the LST with the Muggy shocks and towers but on a normal LST I'm not sure they are worth it, they can decrease initial turn in. They are farther down on my racing setup list than several other items.

2dmax Thanks for the info and the pictures. I will get the new era spindles, and keep the stock carriers. If I upgrade the spindles and the bellcrank to gpm is all that energy from a bad landing going to destroy my servos? Should I put more servo saver clips in if i do upgrade both the spindles and the bell crank? Or is it better to let something else break?

Here's a photo of their shopfront in Hong Kong, more upgrades inside than you can imagine, for every car, buggy, truck imagineable.
