LOSI LST XXL Conversion ideas

[JThiessen]

Have you double checked to make sure you are getting power to all 4 wheels? Wonder if maybe your putting all the power to the rears?

Troubling issue...hope you can figure out what it is.

yes I checked and the power goes to all four wheels, or front and rear axles. The power is equal as I use a center spool, not a center diff. Maybe a center diff would help the rear diff by unloading some of the power to the front end but then I think that by doing that, the front diff might start breaking. If I remember right, I was running the center diff when the front diff blew. I wish there was a way to make this truck 3 pounds lighter But there's not. The LST is heavy because it has some heavy duty components on it. It is tough but heavy. I seem to be the only one having this much trouble with the diff so weight is probably not the problem. I do bash hard but I'm not a maniac and I don't intentionally try to break the truck. My driving is fine, I have a few trophies to prove that I am good enough to win races and championships. I have been lurking at the ERBE and I'm thinking of putting it back to use. Is that desperation or what? I'll keep trying to figure out what the problem is with the LST. Thanks for your input guys.

Linc said two things in one sentence. He's very full of himself so when he talks he literally spits out words. He's so cute.

Anyhoo, we've nailed down that you use alum. diff cases, but what about diff CUPS? http://cgi.ebay.com/DIFF-CUP-Losi-Mu...item5adaf26ac8

Or atleast the upgraded losi cup with the metal insert? With these alum. cups your output gears should last..........

I use the Losi Heavy Duty diff cups with the metal inserts. Are those aluminum cups really better than the Losi HD ones?
