|  Rocksmith's LCC Build Well I figure it's time to post my build First off repacked the axles and removed a shim from each side. Pretty simple lil design on these lil buggers. I do have a couple secret lil tricks I am working on for these so stay tuned........  Well since she was apart I figured I would try and make some stuff for her. First off I made some Titanium king pins. And then made some teflon impregnated delrin steer bushings.  And any build of mine wouldnt be complete without some titanium links thrown around. Made a steer link first just to test. I dont have the tooling to do the 4-40 thread so I made them 3mm. Not quite tight enough for my liking so the tooling is on the way to make them 4-40. If you notice the threads on my links are 1.5mm longer than the stock to keep the rod ends from flexing a lil more.  This pic you can see the Ti king pin and the delrin steer bushings. Also see that the shock have already been worked over and reset.  Well here is a pic of her doin her thing in my backyard rockgarden. Stay tuned for more info tricks and tips.  I dont know about any of you others, but I love my Losi rig. Right out of the box and WITH a lil work and tuning she is phenominal! I have a few items on the way from japan that you all might find interesting |

| Nice upgrades! I'm assuming the axles have treated you well so far? How are the electronics doing heat wise? Enjoy the new truck!  |

Japan, yes Kyosho, no This is something I have researched myself and called 6 different countries to locate. After 4 hours on the phone tracking these items down I have a limited quantity of these items in transit. They will be tested to see the improvement then if all goes well will be on sale | |

| I'm guessing that it will be a new type of bearing (since he mentioned this in another post). I can't wait to see what you find. I would love to get rid of the motor stall-out. |

For the most part its instant reverse. You cant go from full forward to reverse, but if lightly moving forward it will reverse instantly. I hear there is a new program for the esc that will come out sometime. The motor is the crawler version, with the 13mm rotor installed. | |
