LOSI LST XXL Conversion ideas

here's what I see when I flip a set of arms:

Well it is obvious now that it would not make the wheelbase longer. If I had a set of extra arms to do what you did there on that pic, I would have seen it clearly. It must have been an optical illusion from looking at the arms while they are on the truck

Now I wonder why some have chosen to do it

Me too.

edit: Maybe with LST1 arms it made a difference??

re-edit: nope, I found a set of LST1 arms in my box-o-parts - they have no difference when flipped either.

I think it's a thing people have to do when they Muggify their LSTs.

I just finished shimming the front suspension. What a difference a few shims make on the steering. With no slop it is much more precise and I get the correct ackerman on either side of the steering throw.
