I have a good one...
Any LST guys ever have a losi header crack? I had a header crack on my original Aftershock-converted LST2 in the center straight section of the header. I just recently noticed 2 or 3 cracks in the header on my SH .28 LST2 in the same spot as the last one. The engine tuned fine and runs remarkably better on my homebrew fuel. I have a few spares so its no big deal but I was curious if anyone else has had it happen.
No, I didnt overheat the engine. No, I didnt run it lean. I have been running 20% nitro, 12% castor oil, and 68% methanol.
I'll post a pic of mine when the camera is done charging..

The last one that cracked was on a teal mach 427 and had a crack in the middle of the tube going the length of the tube - about 1" long.

RE: I have a good one...
maybe its from the hanger ? too stiff and doesnt absorb vibrations - or too soft and allows for too much movement ?
i always use coat hanger wire for my hangers. they dont break like the stockers and flex/absorb energy during a crash...

I saw another guy on here have that problem. I think his username is bigblock454 or something like that? He had pictures of it a long time ago. Is the header for sure cracked and not just the paint cracking?
