Yeah, I agree that shiz happens, but it is nice to be able to go out and run the vehicle for a little while without something going wrong. After all, you spend $500+ on something, it would be nice to use it. In my case, the Slash is problematic like that. My other cars are pretty solid.

I read your thread about your Slash. Thats also very strange. A Slash is almost the same as a Rustler. (Driveline, shocks etc.) And I LOVE my Rustler, I run it on 3S LiPo with stock Velineon motor and a Quark ESC. I made jumps from 3+ meters high and 25+ meters far, driving 100+ km/h with it, crashing, bumping, everything! The only issues I had, in 2 years were the Shocks and a shaft in the drivetrain. (The shocks were my own fault, with those jumps I made)

The things which broke three times are these:

and these are from the LST2. They look the same, but are different, or just got a different part number.

I probably can't just buy the one for the LST2 and put them in my LST1, right? If I want those for the LST2 I have to buy the axles + driveshafts for a LST2 also, right?

Plus the 4 HD drive axles and all the bearings for the carriers and pins.

I bought all the parts for one of my LST's on Ebay from 1 seller for $74.00 delivered, If your pateint it can happen.

I thought about the LST the whole day. I will:
- Buy all those things at that eBay store. (They always list new items)
- Make a new motor mount from 7075 aluminium. Is 1/4 inch good enough do you guys think?
- Make a new cool battery tray for it. The one I got now is crap


I'll go sleep now, this day was too frustating... Thanks for the help!


EDIT: @Nard, yes, I was damn excited, but I had very bad luck I think. Well, I would like to drive your Flux, but I think I will break something.
