LOSI LST XXL Conversion ideas

[mistercrash]

My truck is resting right now until I get the new TiNi shock shafts and a couple more parts in the mail to fix it. On the shock with the snapped shock shaft, I also noticed that the shock cartridge had started to come out of the shock body. So I searched on the LST forums for a fix and I came up with the idea of straps to limit suspension droop. I used zip ties that are secured to the upper arms and sandwiched between the shock towers and the CF plates I made to reinforce them. I'll be trying those out when the truck is fixed.

Compressed


Resting


When the suspension is extended, the straps let the arms drop almost fully, just shy of full extension to releave the stress on the shocks.
