Y96 Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 @Bizzle@.AJ. Haha I've looked into getting rid dye for the plastic but I've stripped the life out of the screw holes on this project. The body shell was too small for the cage so I had to improvise 😅 - Y96 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 I’ve not had any issues with any of the hardware on my roller, the SBR I had was terrible though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y96 Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Ah that's interesting, I bought mine as the RTR Losi LMT Grave digger however most screws on the chassis were stripped out so I'm not sure if they did that on purpose in the factory because almost every screw was stripped expect the ones on the body shell and the axles... I thought about requesting a exchange to the hobby shop but I thought I rather not because I had the tools to remove the stripped screws... But for new RC hobbyist this would off been a nightmare without the right tools. Just wondering if any one else bought a RTR LMT with the same issue? - Y96 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y96 Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 (edited) @turok007Same here but mine was horrible, almost all the screws on my chassis were stripped but the axles were fine... @Jumper So I guess it is very common among the RTR LMT trucks, shame if some one is a beginner it'll be hell to get them screws out 😐 Been waiting for these Jconcept wheels and tires for a week now... it is a such a strain 😅 Once all the order come piling in I will post a before and after of my truck :D! - Y96 Edited May 1, 2021 by Y96 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't bring myself to put more scrapes and chipped paint on the Digger body, so I dug out this beater body I had for mud bogging the Trx4. It's a terrible body but now I won't feel bad taking the LMT bashing. Until at least I've come to terms with my terrible driving Hahaha. Have no idea why you didn't mount that body back a little more where the roll bars would be up in the front window better at least 3/8 inch made the sheet rims line up a whole lot better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I slapped it on and took it for a rip. Beat the hell out of it and did what it was supposed to. New Raptor body is much better. Thanks for checking in though lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Andy JP Posted May 5, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 5, 2021 (edited) Ordered on Ebay 27th April, arrived today 5th May. Wasn't expecting them to arrive that quick, well happy. Need to decide what to do with my brand new unopened reinforced front axle housing set sent out under warranty. 🤔 Bit of a noob question, what grease should I chuck in there when I reassemble please?

I was looking for a reason to pop out as the sister in law is due round. I've just done a quick preassemble and it's a bit glitchy on the front. There's maybe 0.5-1mm of play. Grease might be the answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan k Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 How strong is the stock servo on the lmt? 20kg? has anyone tried the +5mm wheel hubs? Havent got my lmt yet, but reckon this would be a great upgrade the make it less flip over in cornering.. a long with a lowered battery case?
