Ha, perfectly valid point but I still want your lots opinions. Its a LST Aftershock apparently.....looks ok, got OK servos and a Losi 454 engine, the clutch has worn apparently so a new one is needed for the two speed setup....is the LST Aftershock a worthy truck? is it work the swap for my buggy? I would say I am expecting something valued in the region of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayJ Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Hi Folks, I have the opportunity to trade my Losi 8ight brushless buggy for an LST 1. Should I be concerned about anything? are they any good? Cheers. Be aware that there are some quite significant differences between the LST(1) and LST2 or XXXL. The LST2 is much stronger and more durable than it's predecessor, getting an LST to LST2 spec isn't going to be cheap. I think the chassis rails are beefier, the A-Arms, rear fixed hubs, c-hubs, steering knuckles, CVD's are all stronger than those on the LST. Find out if it's have any of those upgrades to see if it's a worthwhile trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shdaxner Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Are the LST2 or XXL parts interchangeable with the Aftershock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayJ Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Yes they'll mostly for one another, exception being too fit LST2 front carriers or rear hubs you'd need LST2 A-Arms or RPM spacers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kristian1995 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I have found the Losi LST1/Aftershock to LST2 upgrade kit. Take a look, hopefully it will show you all the parts that are different http://www.modelsport.co.uk/index.php?product_id=24598&gclid=CjwKEAiAoo2mBRD20fvvlojj5jsSJABMSc7jnAjEfCNHqiayp0TNyoq_8KbYKSU_m8C5pxEIW0m6uxoC-57w_wcB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shdaxner Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Yeah that looks interesting. In your opinion, how much should a used LST Aftershock sell for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shdaxner Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Just found it on eBay, this is the one I have been offered - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Losi-Lst2-Aftershock-/171623219722?pt=UK_ToysGames_RadioControlled_JN&hash=item27f58a820a#viTabs_0 Worth it or not?

kristian1995 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Personally for a well used kit like that one id say its well overpriced. Its overpriced even if it was new in my opinion. 3 years ago I payed 400 pounds for a brand new LST2,which included a spectrum DX3.0 just to give a bit of perspective Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vimto2000 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Definitely give that a miss. I would want to pay under 200 for that if not below 150 !I paid 350 for my used xxl.

SmugR Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Yeah, it seems especially the older or lower spec ones, people seem to think they`re worth mint xxl money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattmatt001 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 So im progressing with the build... and I noticed a clunky noise when accelerating. I also get a red light and light beeping as Im coming out of the neutral range.... is this normal? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AK3cbOv7kjE&feature=youtu.be Is my mesh tight enough? https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9hNMspM7RxaSnBqdFd6dVpTeVU/view?usp=sharing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kristian1995 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 your video is unavailable, but your mesh certainly doesn't look too tight. maybe the tinyest bit on the loose side. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmugR Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 That sounds pretty similar to mine, Just tighten the mesh so there is just the smallest tick of play when you hold the pinion and Rock the spur back and forth. That should see it good. Mines a bit bruised at mo, but I'll post a vid of it on the bench if it helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
