Bizzle Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 16 hours ago, Y96 said: Yeah I've seen some of those in person too and to be honest I won't be using my lmt for speed runs but more for jumps and driving about, my goal is to make it scale as possible 🙂 I have just ordered a set of back and front axle kits for my LMT so we will see if I get a slower servo will it fix the problem when driving as semi fast speed. Note - I will also be using a 2s 30C battery so I wonder if that will be too fast - Y96 That should be just fine, however 30c is a pretty low c rating. Are you going to get the punch you want? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y96 Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 @Bizzle Good point made 👍 Im not too sure but I don't really want it to pass the 20mph limit to be honest, I don't think MT's are supposed to be going fast in the first place however there will be torque as it is a 2S and a spec spectrum electronics. I will eventually move onto a 50c battery if it seems a bit sluggish. - Y96 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y96 Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Update: Spektrum 5000 2s 30c Fast enough to do wheelies and roll over, In my opinion anything over 30c will make the rc feel like a basher. Quick question guys, are there any upgrades for the suspension for the Losi LMT? - Y96 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y96 Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 What size is the wheel nut for the Losi LMT? Im looking to buy a wrench tool as mine didn't come with one... Not sure if it was a error on their side or it just does not come with one. - Y96 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kezturbo Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Took lmt for test run after fitting vitavon axles , treal hubs and links . Ran well had to turn down steering rate as tyres hooked up on Astro turf . Steering servo came loose so tightened it up and used locktight. May change servo and servo saver for something better 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy JP Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Hello all, another Grave Digger owner here. Having done much research I though the Losi LMT would be ideal for me & my grandson to play with. I was acutely aware of the axle issue, but figured I was never going to drive the thing like Kevin T does!. This morning was the big day but alas a few minutes in after a relatively modest jump into some scrub at the side of the disused golf course tee,...crack! The steering link broke too. Grrrr. So there's two options for aluminium, Vitavon or Treal. Or indeed just order the same parts. However as Losi have upgraded and strengthened the axle now based on the fact they clearly realise the design is inadequate, I really think I should try & get it replaced at their expense. Although clearly an ally upgrade eventually is inevitable. I bought the car from Appliance Electronics, and I registered with Horizon Hobby in the states. Who should I approach do you think please guys? Or am I wasting my time and I should just bite the billet (see what I did there?). 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horizon USA will send you to the U.K. Distribution Logic RC who will deal with there European branch but honestly trying to get anything here in the U.K. warranted from Horizon is a battle in its self . If you not in any rush try your luck but be aware warranty will take months to sort out. Appliance Electronics will send you to logic or deal with them on your behalf so it’s pass the buck until someone helps Sorry it’s not better news 🥴 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 To think it wasnt that long ago Horizon was 1 of best companies to deal with for warranty claims how things slip ehh 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y96 Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Which one is better? - Vitavon Losi LMT Axles or Treal. I was looking around the web for alloy axles as mine keep getting loose and bending, which one do you recommend because they are similar in price but Vitavon axles look better IMO but people keep boasting about how great TREAL products are. Just curious and wondered what are the thoughts on these two axles with you guys. - Y96 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 The Treal axles are definitely the most scale looking, the Vitavon’s look like scaled up Currie F9’s. Quality wise I’ve had parts from both companies, you will be happy with either 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y96 Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Ah to my uneducated eye on monster trucks the Vitavon Axles look more scale than Treal 😅 But good to know - Y96 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'll do two things. I'll contact Horizon plus AE and order a new ally front. I do want to get use out of this truck and the poor little lad with me this morning was a bit disappointed we stopped so after a few mins. So I've promised a return "soon". For me it's a matter of principle, that part of the design simply isn't fit for purpose. So for the sake of some e-mails it's worth pursuing if only to see where it gets me and how long it takes. Might be an experience worth sharing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.AJ. Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 The stock wheels have a larger diameter inner bead, so only the stock tyres and these will fit the stock rims https://wheelspinmodels.co.uk/i/334510/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
