Default Silver and Gold!

Check it out. I was at my favorite LHS today (to pick up savage shocks), and they had some new LST parts in. I have been wanting these for a while.

Do those shocks do anything different than just look pretty? Aren't the stockers aluminum, too?

Also..

Isn't there something fundementally wrong with having a glass top on what clearly is a WORKBENCH???

Actually my last hop up was that polished pipe. That was yesterday. Technically less than 24hrs and new hop up. I have a mild addiction to my hobby.

No, they just add that ghetto-fabulous bling factor! That glass top was free, and its very strong. A friend of mine works at a glass factory. He has punched that glass top really hard, and it hasnt broken. Not yet anyway! lol I want some black glass next.

Nope, the threaded bodies arent supposed to be available til later this month, or next. I'll look into them when they come out. Might end up using the threaded bodies, with gold caps, and gold adjuster nuts.

Did you ever upgrade the diff cases? If so, how are they holding up? What kind of pipe did you put on?

Looks good anyway.

The pipe is the LST option pipe from Losi. Nope, i still have not received my diff cases from Horizon. I have no idea why not. My LHS does not have them either. I just got back from the track again. Was alot of fun. Only took the Revo, and the LST this time.

Nothing wrong with that, like my parents say "Whatever keeps you out of trouble" [&:]
