Lst header problems
I was just wondering if anyone ever had the aluminum stock header to crack? It happen to me with a OS .30. Can the motor be the cause?

RE: Lst header problems
this happened more than once maybe two or three times. I got tired of buying new headers so i bought a novarossi header. it seems to have more top end and loss bottom end.

Do you have a link to this NovaRossi LST specific header??????
The header cracking is a inherent problem with the LST. I think alot of it can be attributed to the sideways torque of the engine and the chassis flexing.

I dont know if novaRossi make a header for LST.
Its just something i tried.The header is for the NovaRossi 9886 pipe. There are three kinds. Long,meduim,and short.I dont know the part #s though.
I dont really think its the torque of the engine, most definetly not the chassis flexing.I think the header is not thick enough.The bend on the LST header is where it crack all the time.Thats the thin point.

RE: Lst header problems
just a side question. will a polished head work better then the stock header that comes with the "HT" pipe? im thinking on getting another pipe. along with a buku exhaust (when i get the money)

RE: Lst header problems
The polish Losi header that comes with the pipe, does crack also.I dont know if the hard anodize header solves this problem of mine. But think about it,why would Team Losi make hard anodize header & pipe?"for show"?"for what?". If the stock black losi header, and the "upgrade" polish header works without cracking.I think some where during testing they knew the stock and polish header would crack eventially,so they made "Hard Anodize" header & pipe as an upgrade to throw LST owners off, and cover there flaws. Its just a thought.[&:]

I've not had the Hardano header crack, could you do us all a big favor and look up the NovaRossi part# for the header you are running???
