Man I'm sorry to hear you sold your LS10. Never seen anyone get one to fly and land as well as you.
I am hoping I find a servo saver that works pretty soon. Got a good stock pile of bellcranks building up from trying them. This one will not work until I get the stronger spring on it.
The shaft was my impatients. I did the center diff knowing the dogbones I ordered were not going to show up for a while. There wasn't any problem using it in the center drive. It doens't get the stress the rear axle one do.
The shocks must look funny. They are my hybred of the traxxas big bore (long) for the rustler with some revo springs. I was bottoming out all the time until I put those springs on it. You know how heavy the little tanks can get. They are a I just got in a bunch of Jato springs to try out.
Will have to see about the polycarb. It's pretty tough but the part that hold the front bellcrank turned out pretty thin. Was making some other stuff out of polycarb. One thing led to another. Didn't plan on taking the LS10 apart but the screws just kept coming out. At one time I had a rustler that was made out of the polycarb. Tried giving the arms a different look. It held up for a long time. Still got the arms in a box except one rear broke last winter. It was close zero out when it broke. The chassis went through hell. It was like a freak accident. I put a Feigoa 12s on it and had it in the street for the first test run with no body. I didn't punch just gave it some throttle and bam! The thing flipped so hard onto its back it snapped it right where the tranny hooks up. Same place I keep breaking the stockers.
Have you had any problems with the center shafts at all? Has most of the breaking occurred on the rears?
Thanks rootar any input you can add would be great. Hope to see you flying a LS10 again.
Now I need to go flip the motor mount and put the motor on the other side where it's suppose to be. Thought something wasn't right when I put it back together.
