roy8846 Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 (edited) I've ordered new shocks for my lb so will have a few spare springs when they're fitted. Could also slice off another piece of aluminum like the one I cut out for mine. Arrived today mate, thanks again Edited January 19, 2013 by roy8846 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oodboo Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Probably a mistake but I've just ordered one of these for my lb: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=190356594089 Width is about right but wheelbase is 5mm too short. 5mm isn't much though so might be ok.

roy8846 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 5MM will be ok.

Yep, cheapest in the uk mate, tried to get a price match off MS and got "we will not be price matching this item" LOL. This is the reason I dropped out of buying your midnight pumpkin mate.

roy8846 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Any plans on Mods Carl? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl160180 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Apart from a full bearing set that arrived today not at the minute mate, I wanna get it running in stock form but I do want to do the 5th shock mod, chassis bracing and oil filled shockers later on. I was looking at getting an led kit for it too off rcbutcher and noticed that you have bought a kit off him for your LB. Was it just the standard 8 led kit with 5mm led's that you bought off him mate? Just wanna make sure I get the right size led's to fit the front lamp buckets on the LB.

roy8846 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Yes I bought 2 standard 8 LED kits with 9V batt plug.. The LED's wil fit in the lamp's but not with the little black holders on, a bit of drilling out is needed but its very easy to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer the kits with the jst plug on them so they can be plugged into the spare channel on the rx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oodboo Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 (edited) I got a led kit with a 9v plug and have zip tied the battery to the back of the shell. I went for the 9v because I didn't want wires connecting the shell to something else. Knew I'd forget to disconnect them too often and something would break soon. I've got 5mm less in the front and just pushed them in the light buckets and used a glue gun to stick them in place. Also used a drop of glue to keep the wires in place around the shell. Interested to see how others have done theirs. Edited January 23, 2013 by oodboo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer the kits with the jst plug on them so they can be plugged into the spare channel on the rx 2 kits for 2 LB's White LED's. I also went 9V so I can just lift the shell off and on easily as I use more than one shell, rather have seperate power (even though they dont use much power at all). My battery is held on via double sided foam and some brown tape. I think I am going to get a riot van shell made up complete with flashing lights when funds allow, can then have chases with my son Edited January 23, 2013 by roy8846 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oodboo Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Has anyone gone brushless and stuck with 7.2nimh batteries? Just wondering if it's worth the cost without using lipos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl160180 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Think Roy ran his on a BL setup with a nimh battery before switching to lipo's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevinKevin Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Hi all, just building my LB with my son at the moment. Suffering from upgraditis before the darn thing's finished, already fitted ballraces, ansmann oil filled shocks arrived yesterday, numerous M3 s/s nuts/bolts/rods on order for fitting shocks and strut brace. If I can find a single shock on fleabay I'm tempted to do the 3rd shock mod as well as part of the build. I'm going to stick with std silver can for now, but would really like to add the lighting upgrade (but not at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes its still worthwhile! (Depends what you want speed wise and also what you already have though) A decent brushed motor will cost anything between Edited January 23, 2013 by roy8846 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ta muchly, I already have the Ansmann 75mm's for the 4 corners, just looking for another to do 3rd shock mod. PM sent to contact regarding the LEDs. Cheers!
