LNC newbie questions

[Purged1978]

Been looking for a different body and I'm having a hard time trying to figure out what fits and would look the best? Any ideas?

Also thinking about doing aluminum upgrades, already weighted the wheels, just wondering what aluminum upgrades to do and what link bars would replace the top and more importantly the bottom?

Lastly, what about the steering arms and the servo horn? I'm not good at customizing things either lol

It appears you're pretty new with the rig. Why not just drive it a while and see what, if anything, breaks? That'll give you time to do some catch-up reading in this forum. Money spent before you know what you're doing is usually money spent twice. Eventually you might be shopping some at D_Lux as he has some nice pieces for the car.

Im with Hardline's thinking. Drive the truck, learn it and see what breaks then replace that. Read a lot of the older forums from the Losi and see what changes did and how you can do them.

Once you're ready to upgrade theres plenty of parts available. Codyboy makes front axle conversions to get more steering using XR parts, KrazeBuilds has a losi base chassis and axle plates and Dlux offers parts for the knuckles.

Its a capable truck but takes a little getting use to and has its own way of doing it when you drive.

At the very least, Losi 20* C hubs and all the LCC metal links. Might need different ball ends, too. It will come up a touch short of 12.5" but you can swap in Traxxas Jato rod ends for the rearmost four. I haven't broken a single thing on the truck other than a bent rod end from a 4 foot fall. Great plastic on these.

Thanks for all the info, I've had it a couple weeks now and I love the way it works!! Mad a shock adjustment and weighted the front wheels, it'll go just about anywhere. I have read some older post over the last week or so too, lots of good info

Wasn't clear to me if Codyboy is really interested in supplying the community, or just doing a little short-term hobby-level fab.

D_Lux also has titanium link sets I believe.

short term "limited" supply

D_lux has links for the Krazed chassis but I think takes orders if you give measurements.


this is a good truck to run. even if you want to do a "scale build" its easily accomplishable.

read up. and just drive it around. if you burn up the motor and esc, get a brushless system with a 10.5 sensored motor and run that. welcome to the losi clan.

I cant speak for him but last I knew was he had some sets made and was waiting on Axial Uni's.

Yup you just have to let him know they are for the Krazed Losi

I have enough brass machined to do 25 axles, if and when that is gone I will reevaluate if there is still a need. So I guess it is a little more than a hobby level. To me it was a pretty big investment.
I have 5 kits that are complete including unis that are ready to go out the door.

I got a scale width kit and a xr width kit both from codyboy, really nice pieces if you ask me. the scale axle is going on my swb Tamiya wrangler and let me tell ya, it needs it! lol cant keep the front end down on a hill climb.
