Losi sporty questions

[Dezertdirt]

I have an old LNC and so far I have added hd worms up front, a cc sidewinder sport,a hitec 7950th and Traxxas 21t brushed motor, 2s Lipo and shaved chisels mounted on xr wheels. Does anyone still make suspension and steering links for the LNC? What can i do to get more steering? What can I do to lower cg? What else can I do to make it a better shafty? Where do you losi guys get your parts?

Dlux, anything for the comp crawler will work for lnc for the most part

Look through peoples build threads. The best way to impove any rig is with a aftermarket chassis. Ive been running gtpdm5 new lowrider chassis with awesome results. It looks and drives great. Well worth the money.

Is that thing available for purchase? I looked through the feeler thread, I'd buy one with wheels if it is. Stock links etc work fine for it and tranny bolts w/o spacers?

In the build threads you'll find:

The tranny flip mod for moving the weight of the motor forward.

Mod to center the drive shafts for better articulation with bent lower links. Leaves space beside the trans for ESC, recvr or dig servo.

Mods to the factory chassis side plates for different shock mount positions.

Front plates for mounting servo and battery on the front axle.

Upper link mounts. Front and rear.

Axle/drive shaft & chub/knuckle mods to increase steering angle.

Rim & tire changes/mods.

And more in the build threads.

The best thing you can do is read Delmontes, eepee and others threads to get a starting point for a shock and spring setup. Get tennis balls cut them in half, and wear it out practicing. Then see the deficiencies where you need upgrades.

My opinion, without know what your vehicle can do, you will be throwing so much more money at it. Sounds like you have a good base to start with, run it!

As far as steering goes, you will not be able to get a whole lot more out of the stock setup/cvds. You can grind some of the chub and knuckle arm where they meet at full lock. You will be very close to maxing out the CVDs, but I did not had a problem.

Ditto with what detonmac said. Delmontes and eepees threads are full of info. Alexg had some good info in his threads from memory and ghtpdm5. Same with losikid. Good info in all those threads.

He currently is selling g10 and cf wheels. The chassis is in development sort of? It would be best to pm him on that. Mine is great. The stance and height looks and works well. My tranny is bolted without spacers. Just a couple washers though. With the links stock would not work I don't think. Plus you lose the whole advantage of have any aftermarket chassis using the stockers.
