RE: LST update

how can you improve on something that works so well?

Good things usually get small improvements that are easily upgradeable (see LST to LST2)

RE: Why are some guys locking the diff's?

Isn't the TC4 a ball diff?

You might just have to tighten the screw inside the diff cup.

RE: Why are some guys locking the diff's?

As for WHY people lock diffs, on some surfaces (snow, slick mud, ice) a locked diff gives you better...

NiMH don't suffer from "memory", only NiCd's do. I have heard of this trick as well, but I think it's like chicken soup, an old wive's tale. Zapping cells has proven to be more effective at removing...

RE: Dipping electronics in Epoxy for weatherproofing

Wow!

You know epoxy shrinkage makes sense. I would say it takes several weeks for it to completely dry and I have seen some epoxies crack (aerospace epoxies don't seem to suffer from this).

RE: Dipping electronics in Epoxy for weatherproofing

As far as servicing the electronics, I think everyone with experience knows that getting through epoxy once hardened is impossible. This problem is a major concern mostly for those high-end receivers...

RE: Loose spur gears?

RE: quality allen wrenches?

Ya I agree, but this set comes with a "handle". Obviously not the same quality handles as the dedicated r/c companies, but I kinda can't afford a 60$ set of tools.

Best Wing Kit for LST2?

Is there any other wing kits for the LST2 besides the Losi one? I searched the forums but everyone only seems to talk about the Losi wing, is it because this is the best one?

Thanks!
