Thanks linc for the pics!

Are those turnbuckles made of steel or alloy? just out of curiosity... i wouldnt mind getting them anodised red if they are alloy.

I see you are still using the Savage normal HD axle outputs. Are you having to replace those or are you going to make do?

Linc... is the hex pin a 3mm pin? I want to run 17mm hexs and unsure as to which ones would work with the LST CVD...

They are steel, i would never buy alloy turnbuckles, as they always break on me. At least I can bend a steel one straight.

I am looking for a solution to the outputs, thinking a hotbodies diff will have longer outputs that will fit the savvy diff. I like that the vorza cups mimic the lst cup size, and will be using those on the cen setup.

Not sure on the pin size, I will find my metric calipers and see. I know that any lst hex will fit (of course) and sportwerks stuff fits too. I run sportwerks 17mm hexes on my lst2. You can also make the cen 23mm hexes work with a little filing on the backside (my 6x6 lst has those). Check out lstforums, they should have a list of the hexes that will work. The critical dimension is the distance from the pin hole to the outer bearing face, I know ofna hexes will not fit, as they have the hole in the hex spaced differently.

linc, how long is the LST axle? And what is the distance from the pin hole to the outer bearing face? And what diameter is the pin hole?

Thinking about trying to use some LST/LST2/etc CVD axles on an RC8T to be able to run the proline 23mm hex adapters; or attempt to use my 4mm sleeve + 24mm Baja hubs...

Ok an update!
Look what i got made... CHECK MY SAVAGE THREAD FOR MORE PICS

As you can see... they mount the hinge pin outside of the bulkhead pefectly. This will give me the extra clearence i need to mount the LST Hubs!!
