Mulds Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Hi guys. What tyres would fit the XXL? I want to get spare tyres but don't know which one will fit. Regarding that receiver box...I'm thinking of putting a rubber around the edge of the lid so that it seals it when it's closed. Still looking for what material to use.

Kpowell911 Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Does anyone make a different RX box, Cant help think why they have made it Clear :S Huge TRucks, would love to see one next to a Flux XL!

dtokez Posted February 5, 2011 Author Share Posted February 5, 2011 Cheers ive pushed them all in now looks neater. Mulds, Im not sure mate? Hopefully someone will know what will fit. I guess any 1/8 scale mt tyres? @ Guns, I did wonder but i think they have made it clear so the led in the spektrum rx shows thru? they really could have made an effort to water proof it though haha! I dont know how big it is in comparrison for savages etc, but it is daammmmn massive lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bodgemonkey Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 The black shell is a new bright 1/6 scale dodge ram. The new bright 1/6 shells are a perfect fit for LST's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BORO-ROB Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Hi guys. What tyres would fit the XXL? I want to get spare tyres but don't know which one will fit. Regarding that receiver box...I'm thinking of putting a rubber around the edge of the lid so that it seals it when it's closed. Still looking for what material to use.

BORO-ROB Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 (edited) Tthe xxl use's 23mm hex's so you can use losi , cen genesis/nemesis and proline 40 series wheels or you can change the hex size down to 17mm for more options Edited February 7, 2011 by BORO-ROB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mulds Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 I'm doing my break in at the mo. Truck started after a few pulls on the pullstart. Idling constantly. Low temps tho. 197 at the moment. Started reving up and overheating about 3/4 tank left so leaned on the LHS and was good again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mulds Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 (edited) Managed to run 2 tanks of fuel. had to stop for now as the neighbours are getting a bit annoyed I think. Everything went well except on the second tank, could anly manage up to 204 f on the temp. anyway. managed to get some photos: Edited February 8, 2011 by Mulds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtokez Posted February 8, 2011 Author Share Posted February 8, 2011 it looks nice n clean mate what do you mean about could only get to 205f temp? I had my first breakage today, hit a rock and the bit on the hub where the steering arm connects had broken off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtokez Posted February 8, 2011 Author Share Posted February 8, 2011 heres the breakage.. I'm just looking at the exploded drawings now, could someone confirm that it is PN. B2104 that I need? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mulds Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 (edited) Yep it's still clean. The maximum temperature I got on teh second tank was 205 degrees fehrenheit on the DX3S. It was mosly averaging between 185 to 195. That was after adjusting the LSN. That break looks painful man... Hav a look at Ebay US loads of spare parts there. At least it looks like its a simple repair. What speed was it doing when it happened? B2104 I think it is. Check this: http://cgi.ebay.com/...f0#ht_524wt_907 or http://cgi.ebay.com/Losi-Carriers-Spindles-pr-LST2-MUG-XXL-losb2104-/160543283441?pt=UK_ToysGames_RadioControlled_JN&hash=item25612018f1#ht_556wt_907 Edited February 8, 2011 by Mulds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpowell911 Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Will Savage 14mm hexes/pins fit this So I could run Savage wheels and tyres on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mulds Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 @Guns - I think you can get 14mm adapters. I'm sure people will correct me if I'm wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
78.8 Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 heres the breakage.. I'm just looking at the exploded drawings now, could someone confirm that it is PN. B2104 that I need? cheers Hey dtokez, I've had a break on the same part of the Hub , common weak spot. Either get a few of the stock parts (you got the correct part number) or upgrade to new era hubs & carrier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtokez Posted February 9, 2011 Author Share Posted February 9, 2011 cheers Mulds for the ebay link. Ive got a couple on order now 78.8 - it does look a bit weak aswell for the stress that it is under when taking a bash! any links to new era parts mate? Hop ups worry me sometimes because If that part didnt break I wonder what would have broken instead LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hop ups worry me sometimes because If that part didnt break I wonder what would have broken instead LOL Yeah one of the weakest parts of the truck sadly. Agreed mate, somethings got to give with the amount of stress placed on parts of the truck when bashing, comes down to which parts you dont mind replacing as they're cheap / available & most likely to stop any further damage or trying to build it so it never breaks...but thats expensive and bound to fail somewhere lol. New Era parts can be found Here & here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dtokez Posted February 9, 2011 Author Share Posted February 9, 2011 @78.8 thats it mate, I reckon if the steering knuckle didn't break the steering linkage probably would have which looks harder and maybe more expensive lol @ dannyP serious bro thats wicked your guna luv it mate its the biggest badest truck out there So we guna have a blue & now red XXL blazin round Southampton soon mate!
