I did a little work on the truck this morning. I shimmed my suspension to get rid of the slop. My battery boxes were great but for the larger lipos, I had to tuck the wires inside pretty tight in order to close the doors. I was afraid that bending the wires to much numerous times would damage them in the long run so I made an opening on the doors to let the wires stick out without putting stress on them.
For the people who have been running LSTs for a while, I noticed that the shock towers have a lot of flex. Should I worry about that or just leave it like it is. I'm thinking a piece of 3 mm CF would reinforce the ends of the shock towers where the shocks caps are.
Just an idea of how my mind works sometimes. My wife is having her period so I'm thinking: ''Why not put wings on my chassis''
Yup! My mind works in mysterious ways. Here's what I'm thinking. The battery box brackets I made are working well but it's a lot of hardware that was added to the truck. In order to minimize the added weight, I thought of having wings on the upper chassis plate to reinforce the battery box ends with just small and simple aluminum angles to secure the box to the wings. I know it would work, I just don't feel like doing it right now. Maybe later in the summer if the brackets ever fail, which I don't think they will.
