doo540 · **Losi lst2 problems/ xxl bonuses -** 06.27.2009, 09:38 AM

I'm now the proud owner of 2 bl LST2 that I converted with another in waiting with a xxl frame.

1st question, is anyone else having problems with bending the upper screws that hold the shocks to the shock tower? I noticed that they seem to bend very easy. I can understand why, those long bolts need to be in double shear to add strength, which I will be working on real soon.

2nd question, any good choices for upgrades in the front and rear bumper department? The little brace that goes behind the bumper and attaches to the plastic bulkhead does not hold up at all. Maybe I can find that little brace made out of aluminum some were?

I purchased a XXL diff off of ebay with the front drive shaft included. Well when I opened it up it all ready had the Losi HD diff upgrade in it. Very cool, I'm hoping that all of the XXL diffs come that way, saves you about 8.50 on the Losi upgrade diff kit.

FYI Muggy shocks are shorter then lst2 shocks, I didnt know that and purchased brand new muggy shocks off eBay and finally realized I had a problem when I got my second lst2.

Any thoughts on running a neu 1521 1d (2900 kv) on 4s in the xxl?
I normally run 6s and low kv in such a large truck, but I have "2" 4s flightpowers 4950 25c lipos that are brand new. I'm thinking since the can is bigger on the 1521 it can handle the extra weight of the lst2.

I also have a neu 1515H 2.5D (1650 kv) that I can run on 6s flightpower 4950 25c lipo.

I like the idea of the 4s just becasue it is a smaller pack and lighter.

Finally, what are guys running for wheelie bars? I tried using the wing kit, but found that it really hurts the screws that attach it to the bulkheads and will break the mounting bosses that are on the bottom of the wing risers.
