4eyes Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Here's my daughters mystery machine... Built it for her a couple of years ago when she was 9. Runs on 2s lipo. Shaggy has fallen out more than once! Not done any mods as it's not needed the way she drives it! She still enjoys it-great fun these trucks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TWINSET Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 (edited) Unfortunately, I'm no longer a LB owner, but here's some chassis mods in case they're of any use; Alu shock brace - 'real' shocks fitted, then used ball stud on shock-mount bolt for alu brace Rear-end brace - Alu brace fitted to shock bracket '3rd shock' using Tamiya TLT link bracket as anchor Shock-ends for body mounts This was a 'before' pic. The 'after' is just too upsetting to show - suffice to say, LB jousting plays havoc with bodyshells Edited December 1, 2012 by TWINSET 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
preppeller Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Alu shock brace - 'real' shocks fitted, then used ball stud on shock-mount bolt for alu brace Lovely looking Lunchbox... possibly even my fave one so far!! Just a quickly... while your strut brace looks tidy, having ball ends on will still allow the body to laterally flex (top separate to bottom)... it may be better to have something which has solid end mounts more like a real strut brace.

TWINSET Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 The ball ends weren't for the balls used, it was a 'ram on' job - more from necessity than design though. The struts were spares-box cobbles, whatever else I'd have used would've had gobs of Tamiya slop anyway The chassis endured some real dog's abuse through it's short life; 2 bodies were ripped from their mountings both front shocks had their tops broken off The wheels had their beads smashed off in crashes It's second incarnation had a EZRun 8.5 brushless in it And all the struts worked great A front shock after three batteries; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason3249 Posted December 1, 2012 Author Share Posted December 1, 2012 Looks nice m8 the top brace needs to be bolted as it will just pop of been there but if its just for show then looks gr8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWINSET Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 (edited) Looks nice m8 the top brace needs to be bolted as it will just pop of been there but if its just for show then looks gr8 After rigourous testing (mindless abuse), I have to respectfully disagree The truck went thru two bodyshells, one set of front shocks, 8 wheels and one gearbox and that brace never popped off once Pic by TC member _4-0_ By this point all the outer beads have gone from the wheels Pic by TC member mymonsterbeetleisbroken Same chassis, second shell, and this time brushless Pic by BiggusDitchus - note windscreen leaving the vehicle!
