proline adapters are junk IMO. Ive had them and they just put way to much stress on the driveshafts. Ive seen and heard of tons of people who had problems snapping them. Better off getting the dace adapters

i havent had much experience with that kinda thing but im sure something along those lines would be better than the 17mm hubs

the nubz by HPI are good tires, Six raced with them at a campmaxx this past season in STL. they seemed to hook well. The dirt is comparative to the dirt dawgs tracks. Kev, I think those would be a good choice

Most people are dumping LSP's for CRT's because its the new kid on the block. Same thing happened when the TTR S3 and XB8 came out. LSP's dont break as easy as some people think.

[rocco79]

Snake and bigjs are right.... Im not a very good racer so i know my lsp has seen its share of wrecks and in nearly a year of racing ive broken ONE (1) Plastic turnbuckle.... Not to mention George has totally field tested the trucks crashability thoughly AND put the drive drivetrain though a serious test with that V-8 he bolted in!!!!

[Tex]

LSP's are tough, period. It's been proven!

that must have been a fluke with kit's LSP, squirrel :confused:

[Biodragen]

that wasn't a fluke!!!! 9.5's are stronger than a lsp!!! for those that don't know my buggy stalled at the end of the straight away and before i could get it i was rear ended by a lsp. destroyed the front right hinge pin/arm on it and the buggy walked away without a scratch!! he was pissed that he broke and i didn't!

[rocco79]

9.5's are tanks.... But what excatley broke on the lsp ??? The alum. arm??? or the hinge pin brace??? if it was the brace they are a weak stock piece. I have a king headz one it wont break.

Besides if your cookin down a straight and hit a stationary object , like a buggy in the rear where the bulk head ties everything together ofcourse the truck thats moving is gonna break

[squirrel]

i think it was a kings head brace!!! i think he's got a lot of khz parts on it. i don't remember exactly i'll p.m. him and see what it was that broke!

[rocco79]

Well if it WAS a king headz brace it was a fluke... And a seriously hard impact. Where were you racing at?

[squirrel]

the showmerc track in st. louis. all you heared was me yell watch out and then a very loud crash! i wish it was on video!

[Tex]

it's a good idea that whenever your stuck on a strait (or see anyone stuck for that matter) to yell out (WATCH THE STRAIT) as loud as you can. Just a tool you can use for future reference.

[squirrel]

i did but it was to late!! plus ralphie was already drunk! i died at the end as he was half way through the straight!

btw rocco it bent the hinge pin, shock shaft, and took out the brace but it was all stock.

nice pics but why so much fuel line?

[rocco79]

The stock Hinge pin Brace on the LSP sucks royal!!! I Forgot that i broke that too(Sorry so 2 parts have broke in a year) The 1st time i drove my lsp at leisure hour. Thats a pretty hefty arm pullin on a chitty brace

[satoch]

Rocco, that's the same brace that Lance-a-little broke on his LSP in a crash that didn't look too bad to me. Maybe Kingheadz will be making a better one but this is one of the reasons why I don't much care for the LSP. It's too heavy and breaks too easily. Not as bad as a Revo, but not as tough as the Jammin' appears to be from all reports.

[rocco79]

What do you expect from an RTR???? There are parts that arent going to be up to snuff for racing... It goes for every single RTR on the market.

The brace isnt good enough for the ridgeness of the alum. arms. A 20 buck king headz part fixes it for good

[Astro]

I dunno, maybe someone could help me with the fuel line routeing???

[bigjs]

It's too heavy and breaks too easily. Not as bad as a Revo, but not as tough as the Jammin' appears to be from all reports.

what's the comparison in weight? how much does the lsp weigh and how much does the jammin' weigh?

[rocco79]

From what ive red the lsp weighs in at the 10lb mark... I looked to see what a jammin weighed but its not on the site

[Tex]

people at the UE board were weighing ready to go jammin's at 9 1/2lbs give or take some change.
