Spent a little more time on the XLB last night. Swapped out the XLB Upper a-arms for some XTM mammoth ST arms. This will allow me to run LST2 sized shocks :sneaky: I also had the front diff out because it was leaking, rebuilt the diff, shimmed and greased it up. I hopefully have a line on some newer style spider geared diffs that should work.

sense the shocks where leaking all over the place when i received it, i decided sense i don't have LST2 shocks yet, i will rebuild the stock ones to at least have something on it for now. Luckily i only rebuilt one shock and figured out that there was at least 3 different sized shocks in the bag. After that one I looked in the manual and fount the 4 correct length ones i was supposed to be using! Ended up using 50W losi oil because it was the thickest i had, manual shows 100w! also the manual states 30k-100k for the diffs!

Now here she sits, I'm waiting on a plastic diff mount from a XTM XT2E to see if it has the same goofy spacing as the XLB, It was a $3 part and it was cheaper than buying the aluminum motor mount and finding it didn't work.
