LS2P Completed

I've never run anything this scale before so I have no reference points. It handled well on it's first run considering the front unloading. On power the front was under steering but would turn tight off power. I only needed a few spacers added on the shocks to bring the arms up after the conversion. I can't remember what exactly it came in at with battery but it was under 10 pounds.

There is some slop in the front end that needs to be worked out. Some is caused by the C hubs I am replacing and some is in the steering linkage / servo saver setup. I need to figure out how I'm going to shim it up to get rid of the slop.

I picked up the solid front aluminum anti bend rod (C8120-1) and installed it last night. Not sure if it will make much of a difference from the link style anti bend rod it came with but looks a little better.

I'm a basher but this thing is making me want to take it to a track and see what it can actually do. After the parts come in from HB I may take a day off work and go.

yes 66479. If it is the same there then the only change made was probably in the pin size for the 17mm hubs. I picked up a set of ofna hex drivers as I'm tired of cheaper tools. I hope these were worth the money.
