One more thing mate, get anti roll bars, i fitted one to the front and it helped the handling out SOOO much! Oh and get a wing kit! Sway bars are on the way (ordered few weeks ago...) Already got the wing kit what sorta money has this cost you? In total (including the LST2, MMM combo, Lipos, Charger, PSU) along with all the parts easily around £800 mark now Edited December 28, 2010 by 78.8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

78.8 Posted January 1, 2011 Author Share Posted January 1, 2011 (edited) Fatbears chassis strengthening mod on the Losi HD chassis This mod is to secure the chassis to the chassis stregtheners as this is the weak part of the LST2. Required on 4 corners of the chassis The chassis strengtheners on top of the chassis Bad-a$$ Creations (BAC) Heavy duty Steering Link (BAC top, stock bottom) The extra lenght of the BAC changes your steering geometry slightly and allows you set the EPA on the radio higher to achieve a tighter turning radius with the LST2. It is also much stronger than the stock LST2 steering link and will eliminate bent and broken stock links as well as take a lot of the flex out of the steering system helping the LST2 handle better, turn faster, sharper and more consistently. With the BAC link larger than the stock steering link, larger holes are required drilling in the GPM steering links.

78.8 Posted January 2, 2011 Author Share Posted January 2, 2011 Shocks Before build Threaded Shock body Hard Anodized, Shock Shaft TiNi, RC Raven springs After build The o-rings (orange/red at the top of the shocks) are shot (ripped and cut un places) so this is far as I can go with the shocks until I get some new ones delivered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpowell911 Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 IT keeps getting better! Lovely shocks those! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
78.8 Posted January 3, 2011 Author Share Posted January 3, 2011 Lungsford Titanium turnbuckles (with ends on ) & the old turnbuckles I found the LST2 RX box large and took up far too much space on the chassis interfering with the lipo set up at the front of the LST2 I had. I was advised to use a Stampede / Rustler VXL RX box - as the size is perfect. In order to mount the Stampede / Rustler RX box I cut down the original RX box, so I can use this as a base for the new RX box Quite a lot of the bearings have seen better days, so new set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodgemonkey Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Looking good chris! Got lunsford's on the nosram Losi, really good upgrade! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazzokajoe Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Lovely... Really comming together now is it just me or does the stock rx box look so much like a fuel tank? Keep up the good work rusty box will make it a little more weather resistant too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revo madnesss Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Lovely... Really comming together now is it just me or does the stock rx box look so much like a fuel tank? Keep up the good work rusty box will make it a little more weather resistant too thought it was a fuel tank, was just going to suggest to maybe get a replacement as it has a few holes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
78.8 Posted January 3, 2011 Author Share Posted January 3, 2011 Looking good chris! Got lunsford's on the nosram Losi, really good upgrade! I did look at the 8ight turnbuckles as they are very beefy, but the lungsford's are the stongest. Lovely... Really comming together now is it just me or does the stock rx box look so much like a fuel tank? Keep up the good work rusty box will make it a little more weather resistant too lol, they do look very similar. Enjoying this build alot, even if its the slowest build on MSUK lol Looking to make the LST2 weather proof (corrosion x MMM, rclazy goo on lipos and I think plasti dip and silicon for the servos) thought it was a fuel tank, was just going to suggest to maybe get a replacement as it has a few holes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
