No prob, took me longer to find the parts in my mess (workshop) than it did to mod them. I do wonder if there is a truggy cvd that could be used with the lst hubs and stock savvy arms. The cvd is the expensive part so if we could just buy that it would make the conversion cheaper.

I will do some research.

I know, I know. I just wanted to be included in this thread and had nothing else to offer.

FWIW the dogbones are much stronger. I prefer plastic arms myself.

I hope the CEN stuff works.

i hope you find better luck with the CEN parts! for all of us really!!!

I really do not want alloy arms, but the people who do use them seem to really like them... i definitely wouldnt be doing any large jumps... but for larger extened savages with big motors, they must offer better handling and control at speed as they do not flex at high speeds like the plastic sotckers....

I was taking a serious look at the FLM arms... as much as i dont like alloy they could work really well considering the GH Alloy bulks will mean that on large tumbles, the arm wont break away from the bulk...
I do like the idea of adding a little width and then running large wheels with less off set, so there is less strain on the bearings...
Also the LST Hub is such a great design being able to use 3 bearings! If a half inch is all thats needed, and considering you have proven that the LST Hub attaches to the savage style lower arm... it could be a tempting idea to try!

Lets firstly see if the CEN parts work

Yeah, have enough cen parts on order to do on end of the truck.

I would really like to get a cvd that is solid, and the correct length to run the lst hubs on the savvy arms. That would offer the benefits or larger bearing spaced farther apart (plus the 3rd bearing that can be added), a little extra width, and the new era lst2 hubs can be used on the front (with the fixed lst2 hub on the back) as they are super strong. I have heard that steering throw is not that great on the lst2, but I have never really worried about it, I have large bashing areas, and electic has reverse!

Hmmmm... i thought the LST steering throw was meant to be better than a stock savage? Maybe not better than the HPI savage suspension conversion kit... But possibly with a little grinding here and there... it should be possible to increase it? What do you think as you have had a closer look? Also considering it uses CVDs... there is no risk of the dog bone popping out!!!

I hope the CEN arms and hubs work.. please do tell how they compare... otherwise the LST hub currently seems tempting to try with the FLM XL Alloy arms...

Considering the FLM arms are 0.5" longer than stock... do you think that is adequate to offer enough camber adjustment to get everything setup correctly? or does the LST Shaft require a little more???

THANKS BUD!

1/2 inch should do. Let me get a test bulk setup going in the next few days and i will be able to easily mock stuff up.

thanks linc... ill be waiting patiently haha...
Gives me sometime to check out my other bits needing to be done

thought i would post this vid...
My mate has just upgraded to a full alloy LST hub/knuckle New Era kit... and his LST2 seems to be handling very well..
Does the LST and LST2 have any major differences?
