SmugR Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 (edited) Have a look at these.... http://losiforums.net/showthread.php?t=113http://losiforums.net/showthread.php?t=85 The grind huh!! Yeah never seems to work that way either... Glad you kept the best ones though!! Edited January 13, 2015 by SmugR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vimto2000 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Not sure..but I can't access those links anymore...have they been shutdown as well! Lost another great site for Losi! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmugR Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 I was going to ask if anyone else was having trouble with them, when I posted them they were fine, but yesterday I couldn't get on losi forum.net at all. Big shame if it's all gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayJ Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 (edited) The LST Forums have been on and off for a couple years now. Nobody really know what's going on with them, they're missing for weeks or months at a time, then back only for a short time before disappearing again. One of the guys from there started a new forum and most of the guys from the LST Forums were there but that too appears to have vanished, at least the link I have isn't working... Weird.Edit- Haha... That'll teach me for posting and reading properly. The link was the Losi Forums, not LST Forums... Still weird...

mattmatt001 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 I was going to say the same, they were working fine. I found the sane diff rebuild somewhere else I'll try and re-link it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattmatt001 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 OK so I checked out the diffs last night as i noticed some leakage and opened the blue aluminium casing to find the whole thing covered in oil, this LST has sat still for the best part of 2 years, is there suppose to be oil on the outside of the inner black plastic casing?

JayJ Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 That's not right, grease yes but not diff fluid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattmatt001 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Thought so, it was nice clean fluid though I'll start looking for a hole in the black casing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayJ Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 (edited) The fact it's clean suggests they've been rebuilt recently or at least topped up. It could be either, the four screws weren't tightened enough or the paper gasket is damaged. I'd take the four screw's out and check what it's like in there. In all honesty, if your going brushless then your best rebuilding them and shimming them to avoid any play and therefore wear.

SmugR Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 (edited) Its likely to have just seeped out of the diff case over time... Edit, we must have been replying at the same time J, plus the hd diff cases are highly recommended for brushless and would replace those, unless your lucky and someone already fitted some for you....

mattmatt001 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Any ideas why this wont line up?? its the rear end, ive put it all back together after a clean and it only pulls together under stress? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattmatt001 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Thanks for the feedback on the diffs, I found the losiforums post in my cache so got it al screenshot now I think these are the HD ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmugR Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 (edited) They can be a little fiddly, there should be a round platic yoke type part that the driveshaft goes through, this has a groove in that locates onto the chassis, if this isn`t seated right, it won`t go together right. Edit, did you open up the plastic diff cases? if the diff pins go into metal plates that slide into slots in the side of the diff case, then you do indeed have a hd diff case.

mattmatt001 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 I'll have a look only got as far as taking the blue casing off today. Ive looked at the plastic bit and its seems lined up, could I have bent the metal plate above it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DannyP Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Any ideas why this wont line up?? its the rear end, ive put it all back together after a clean and it only pulls together under stress? Seems you are missing a plastic brace that sits between the hinge pins and side rails. Like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the help what lipo do you use in yours?Sure there was still a small gap in mine?.. Long as everything lines up for the bumper and skid plate it will be fine. I used Turnigy 6s bricks. I don't have it anymore but here is the build thread http://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/topic/155274-dannyps-savage-slaying-super-truck/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattmatt001 Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Well... sorted "the gap" turns out I had the pieces of plastic under the shock towers on the wrong ends :-/ how was 6s? Ok for bashing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmugR Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Nice buy!! I I'd have snapped them up too, if I'd seen them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vimto2000 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Yep, just went on ebay to look for something else and they showed up in my searches. Had to double check they weren't for the Mini LST at that price! I guess they go in the box of things to be installed.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
