Jumper Posted June 6, 2021 Author Share Posted June 6, 2021 (edited) I finally broke the standard axle housing today. require being jumped off a quarter pipe at the skate park to break and had a bad landing. Lasted almost 6 months which is pretty good considering my driving and that everyone thinks they break on the first run.

Allan k Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Hopefully my local losi pusher is getting the lmt in his shop sometime in august.. i hope the reinforced axle housing that should be standard by that time will be better than the old version i remember when the hpi baja 5b came out ~15 years ago they quickly reinforced the rear wheel… guess they misjudged the strength and abuse they would face Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersavage Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 So I think temptation is getting the better of me. What are the chances of this getting caught by customs if I order one later? https://www.amainhobbies.com/losi-lmt-4wd-solid-axle-monster-truck-roller-los04022/p-qqqetztqtm2yqctz And is there a specific shipping option I should choose?

I know it could of been made even stronger but don't sound to good. yeah i hit a rock that was sticking out the ground, just small enough to go between the wheels and big enough to smack into the axle. It sounded really bad. Kind of expected from a hit like that. 3 hours ago, Guns said: That sucks 😞 Time to go Treal/Vitavon? no chance. its pointless as you just end up breaking the links instead. I did the whole upgrade everything to aluminium on the smt10 and it just got heavier and more expensive. i'll just keep a spare plastic one and do a driver mod Edited June 24, 2021 by Jumper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turok007 Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 can these be run on 4s if i have it on 50% power. i think the ESC can handle it but the motor is for 3s only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
