Just remember no matter how strong you make your truck, you have to decide where the giving is going to take place, it can give on a exspensive part or it can give on a cheap, and easy to replace part once you get past the growing pains this truck is a BLAST!!!

Another LST??????[sm=RAINFRO.gif]

Sgt. Canada

If you really want strength, get the HCR titanium chassis. You might wnat teh RPM gear cover also, it looks cool. Get a sprotwerks 9mm carb, and a supercharger [>:] get 8man's pinions ([link=http://www.lstcentral.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=997]read this[/link]) and threaded shock bodys. And maybe even a CP2 body, and BRT1's.

BTW, I was kidding about the supercharger IMO they don't do any good.

dont get the threaded shock bodies, they dont even screw on to the caps[:@]

I have threaded bodies with stock caps they work fine,what do you mean?

nebula8080

flextek suspension arms (only the bottom ones... dont order the whole set. Its too heavy). I'm running bottom flex tek's on the bottom, stock on the top.

aluminum diff case(s)

threaded shock body

stiffer springs (I like 7.4lbs... your mileage may vary however)

CF chassis / upper shock supports

aluminum steering knuckles are nice as well.

also if you go viscous in your diff's you can help keep steering crisp by upgrading your steering servo's.

One things about the LST.... once you start upgrading moding.. Its hard to stop. killerhobbies.com will become your best friend.

hey nebula8080 thanks for your replythats was a good list of stuff, I wish the others would give more up-grades for the amount I said

I know what he means... I have two sets of threaded shock bodies, and the first set went together fine, but the second set had two of the stock caps that just would NOT screw on more than 1 turn or so, no matter how much I persisted. Lickily I had another set of stock shocks...just for argument's sake I tried the caps off the extra set and found that two of the did fit on the threaded bodies just fine, and the caps that didn't fit the threaded bodies DID fit the other shocks, so a swap fixed them right up. So, it's not necessarily the shock bodies that are the problem, as the other caps did fit. It HAS to a an issue with the caps.

Personally, I'd buy a second LST. Honestly.

If you check the auctions, you can find some killer deals on used pre-hopped up LST's as either full runner's or even a project roller. You'd get alot more for your money that way. Used R/C's usually only go for about half of the total investment, so you could get a whole truck (valued at $600) hopped-up with up to an additional ~ $600 worth of stuff for around $600.

And I'm sure you can find many more.

Sgt. Canada

that last one is a IST (integy super truck)

But Dapicco, if you're okay with a used one, it's a pretty good idea or at least it seems so to me. Good idea jefx!

Good call JefX, I did just that...bought a roller with a mach that was done up very nicely (TSB,CF,23mm,Hard Ano everything, Hitek 645's etc etc for $475. All i tneeded was radio, so I bought an RS310 and now have two trucks. Only one lot of spares to keep up with, but the worst part is when something great comes out for the LST, I have to buy two of em
