I've seen many shells without the bed on the back of the truck but Im just hooked on the big foot truck look / chevy c10 kind of look. One thing about these tires is that they tend to chip up quickly on asphalt ! 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) Mini review of Vitavon axles and steering knuckles. Excellent quality, easy to fit, looks lovely (to my eyes). Only challenge was the little metal sleeve either end of the steering link (circled in pic) needed filing down, there's zero flex in the knuckle unlike the stock part. The sleeve just won't slide in. I was reluctant to get the files out but I really couldn't see any alternative. Seems fine, zero slop. The front diff did seem a teeny bit glitchy (back was fine) so I'm gonna just drive it and hope it "beds in".

When I bench tested I had front wheels going forward rears going back 🙃 - 20 mins later all sorted. Such a twit. Hope you get yours soon 🤞 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kezturbo Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Hi has anyone fitted a treal servo saver? I’ve got one but having trouble on fitting to a servo the teeth are both 25t on the servo and treal saver . It’s a shame as it does look better than stock .

I’ve managed to get it on I used a vice to push it on as it gave equal amount of pressure also noticed that the treal servo saver is blasted with a coating to give its colour mines silver and the coating is also on the spline which makes the spline thicker if you know what I mean which makes it a very tight fit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Y96 Posted May 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 12, 2021 *Update on my Losi LMT*😅 I've got some TREAL parts coming from CPE... been a long wait, I ordered vitavon axles at first but I waited 2 weeks and no reply from them so I managed to get a refund on PayPal. Within the picture I've got TREAL Drive links top, bottom and gear housing 👍 Any way, had my misses drive my truck for 1 minutes and 31 seconds... Bash! right into the wall and my baby girl as happy as ever starts laughing whilst the Trrrrrrt! comes from the front axle 😂🤷 - Y96 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy JP Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 (edited) Hello. Just taken mine out and the steering just stopped responding. I think the servo gears took a thump and locked up. But having taken the servo apart and got the gears freed up, the servo motor just isn't doing anything when I turn the wheel on the TX. New servo needed I guess, but can't see the Spektrum S614S in stock in the UK at all. Plus it's a great excuse to upgrade😉 Appreciate I may need to change the servo saver as the Spektrum is 23T spline and everything else is 25T. Any suggestions what I should go for please?
