i have a questions , did the colleted pinion adapter hold on to the cc motor shaft with no issues ? i am asking because i thought the flat on the shaft will cause a slight problem with a collet design.

Yes, it works fine with the flat spot. Since the adapter grabs around the whole shaft the flat spot doesn't affect it. It's one of those genius in simplicity designs that you wonder why no one had done it before.

I will get some pics up later today.

Like you said linc, the front knuckle is toast, and was that way when I got it. Twztd had told me about it and he had taped it with duct tape. I ran it with the duct tape on it and it worked okay. I will have to get the AL knuckles quick though.

doo540, that's a nice LST2 you have there! How are you liking the RC Raven springs and the swaybars? I had ravens on my orginal e-maxx 5 years ago and they were a big improvement over stock.

The integy shocks look cool and all, and they are nice, but with the reservoir on it they are just too big for my taste. It seems I can pick up some stock LST2 AL shocks cheap so I think I will convert them back to stock. I am sure someone will want the Integy ones. The do work well though, it's just the look I am not digging.

I will agree with linc that on a nice clean track the revo probably has the upper hand as it can be fined tuned a lot more. However for bashing and really rough stuff the LST2 has it hands down. Like I said, just driving the truck you can feel how much stronger it is.

One side of me is tempted to get rid if the revo but in reality I know it won't happen. It's still a great truck, I am just irritated with it at the moment. One good thing is that now I feel more free to try some different things with the revo since it's not my only monster. I had plans for it but when I sold my e-maxx I held off.

Oh yeah, and BTW linc, that kydex is some nice stuff. Twztd had already made a battery tray with it which fit mine perfectly. The kydex is so strong but still flexible. The batteries are nice and snug inside.

Kydex is great stuff, I have made a dozen or so trays out of it and it has not let me down yet!.

I have the new era knuckles for the lst2 but I have not had a chance to put them on yet. I have just acquired another lst1 (I have 4 lsts now!) and plan to make a basher out of it while I perfect the single servo muggy steering setup for the other lst... Plus I pan to stretch the chassis on one of the trucks as well, but that may be on the back burner now.
