dtokez Posted February 28, 2011 Author Share Posted February 28, 2011 yeah heard nothing but good about them so fingers crossed are you going to clean out the diff incase any cheeky broken fragments are lying around in there or do you think it was a clean break?

Josh1A1H Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Oh one final thing though and I had forgotten this until now, the hole in the hex for the hex pin is too small for the LST's pins so the hex will need drilling out to 1/8". jayj! thanks for the pics! I see that you are using the extended 23mm hubs that a few of us want to go in on a group buy! Looks like they offer the perfect offset!!! One thing i am worried about though.... You are running the usual 2 bearings in your hubs correct? how are you findinig your bearings wear using the extended offset? Cheers Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyP Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Will be cleaning all the gears up and will use the HD diff case i have with new gasket and o rings I do have a problem tho, cannot remove bearing from diff case! Any ideas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thread here on LST Forums. As for the PL Extended 23mm hex's, I haven't ran with them yet as the XXXL Muggified E-LST is just a roller atm. Think I might add extra bearing to the spindles, is there a mod for that? Thread? EDIT- The DACE look nice too!

78.8 Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Jay I've been working on the 3 bearing Mod but using the New Era spindles and hubs...I'm just trying to see if / how I can get around the small play between the bearing & hubs..the gap is miniscule Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh1A1H Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 I found a 17mm spacer here http://www.tjdmodels.com/e-commerce/tjdmodels/product.jsf?productId=1370 Seem to be an awesome price! and has variable pin holes! I just need some pins and grub screws now. ill get them till i decide to upgrade my wheels to a larger hex. It seems the play inside the stock plastic lst2 hub and new era alloy hub is different. In the plastic hub, i would say a 1-2mm thick alloy tube or sleeve with an inner diameter of 16mm and outer of 18mm ... would work. Just need to find it. But im hooping my new era gear turns up soon!!! so i can leave these plasic hubs on the side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazzokajoe Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 i have the mugen ones, and had the hong nor ones on my hyper st, hong nor ones seem much more beefy, but a little less offset Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayJ Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 (edited) Jay I've been working on the 3 bearing Mod but using the New Era spindles and hubs...I'm just trying to see if / how I can get around the small play between the bearing & hubs..the gap is miniscule Chris could you not find a slightly deeper bearing that fits in the spindle without leaving a gap? It's that or as Josh said finding something to take up the slack like a washer or sleeve, try a hardware store for a wide washer. Might take a couple to make up the gap but so long it stops the bearing move and doesn't bind, you don't want one the diameter of the bearing but something smaller and if it needs a couple you could put one either side of the offending bearing.

Mulds Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 (edited) Why is the XXL so cheap on Merlin Inovations ebay? £325 with the DX3S? Why is it so cheap? I spoke to them about this before I bought mine and the chap said that they had 80 units back then that's why they could afford to sell them that cheap and just wanted to get their shop known. And yes it's legit, I got mine from them. Edited February 28, 2011 by Mulds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graveyardshift Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 (edited) But its the legit XXL with the DX3S isnt it? some 1 on the forum bought 1 off him guns.. but i cant remember who... my plan was the other way round buy a xxl and sell the xxl.. but my spekkys getting fixed now... woop...

JayJ Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 I've been referring to my build as an XXXL with reference to the trucks footprint with extra large offset of the extended 23mm hex's, as seen in my sig. It's deliberate and not a typo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpowell911 Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Is the ebay one @ Merlin's the biggest baddest mofo there is RTR? I dont want to buy the normal one and end up wasting so much money on it that it no longer works (ala the Savage lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
