LOSI LST XXL Conversion ideas

[jpoprock]

Hey guys... I broke a couple pins inside my tranny and have repaired numerous diff's with broken pins. I've heard that the HPI 2.5 Hellfire pins work well. But do you think that a 3mm rod would work too? Cuz if so, I found this: http://www.diversehobbies.com/catalo...roducts_id=108 3x275mm Titanium rods. If 3mm will fit, you can cut your own to length, and surely they would hold up better than the steel pins that keep breaking? Just a thought.

Couldn't sheared pins be a sign of a diff that might not be shimmed properly? You've probably got too much free rotation of the input before it engages the gears. I don't think I have ever sheared a pin - but I'm also not going to claim that I know what I'm doing when shimming!
