A few questions about the LSP

That would be a VERY simple fix for the LSP. I still need to do it on mine, but there are pins that work. I can't remember what vehicle there off of. I think its the MP7.5 or MP777. Doesn't cost to much. Maybe $20

so why wasn't that inexpensive upgrade made to the new version? is there some benefit i'm not seeing to e-clips?

for the XT8, part of the captured pin upgrade is being able to fine tune the front kick up and rear anti-squat to match track conditions. so it is more than just captured pins only, i guess. although, why that wasn't added as a stock option is beyond me. probably would've taken the kit from $600 to $700.

I just got my LSP-R and it has threaded holes in the hinge pin braces for grub screws to "clamp" the hinge pins in place....

It comes with "e"-clips to hold them in and the grub screw hole are not used....I added grub screws as "back-up" if i loose an "e"-clip.....

Does anybody else do this to?

I have not had a Truggy/buggy yet, but I have been looking at the different models out there. Does this LSP2 compair to the Hellfire as far as toughness? I had been thinking of picking up a used Hellfires and converting it to brushless because of the way that it is built. It looks to be a pretty tough rig, especially with metal hop-ups already installed. Just curious how it matches up to the Hellfire, imputs appreciated. Thanks guys.

The LSP chassis is a little wider than the buggy, I have mikes LSP motor mount in my buggy and I had to cut the corner off so it would clear the turn up on the narrower buggy chassis.

What's wrong with E clips?
