The polished pipe/header combo looks sweet!

ThermalRD-

I've been reading your posts about running last Sunday at Dirt Burners. Sounds like you're pretty satisfied with your LST set-up, even more so with your Revo. I'm running a LST and curious if you had the black springs in front and the white in the rear of your LST last Sunday? Have you replaced the grease in your diffs with silicone? What CA? I just put 30K in both diffs on mine but won't be running it till this Thursday. I didn't notice sways bars on your LST, I've got front and rear ones on mine and it made a solid improvement in cornering on mine at the track. I'm running 40 series bow ties with good results, but haven't tried anything else besides the stockers. What wheel/tire combo are you running?

Good luck this Sunday at Dirt Burners! Sure you don't want to run the LST in the race?

Yes, my LST was running the black and white springs this past sunday, and 30wt oil front and rear in the shocks. My diffs are tuned right now with 10k front, 10k rear. I simply havent gotten my hands on the sway bar kit yet. I'll buy em as soon as my LHS gets them. Im running the dark grey XTM giant series wheels, with the giant race tires. I will probably try some 40 series on this truck soon too. I really like them on my Revo. I would run the LST in the race, but it has yet to prove itself reliable to me. Im capable of running clean laps thru the whole tank. No screw ups, no wrecks... I dont want a broken axle, or CVD costing me that race. Aside from that, im twice as fast on the track with my Revo. In the future i will be running the LST though. Just not sure when. It will have to prove durable thru many many runs on practice night at that track.

It all came together, and i believe it was 56 dollars at Riders. It would have been less at a better LHS. But i was at Riders, so i bought it there.

The polished pipe does look very nice, but I'm personally waiting for the anodized black pipe. I hope it's a cool looking as it sounds.
