You can use 17mm and 23mm adapters. But losi 420 wheels and tires are super cheap on ebay.
One servo is enough, the problem is the very weak servo saver. I plan to take the spring off 2 extra servo savers and put them all on one servo saver on a single servo (3 springs total) They just pull off and can be slid around one another. There is just not enough room between the top and bottom plate to use a better saver and linkage. So, yes, buy the servo savers and linkages, and either use the double servo setup or stack springs. Linc has done a muggy steering setup on an lst if you want to search
No RCM mount. The Dude's is top dog. Losi makes their own LST mount now. Search ebay for e-lst and electric lst
Yes, losi spur and slipper
The Dude makes a single speed hub adapter, the only way to go
Everybody knows red is faster
Just ebay better, get parts and beer.
That'll be $3.50
