My New LSP! - 02-19-2006, 03:18 PM

Should be here sometime this week (just bought it offa ebay)











Description from auction-->"Ok, here it is. This is a great deal for someone. This truck is race ready. All you need is batteries for the radio and receiver, 1.5v glow ignitor and of course, fuel. This truck started life as a Lightning GT. I have made it race ready. I added a Lightning Pro-R tuned pipe and tires, 14mm wheel hexes, cnc steering knuckles, only raced one night and a Lightning Stadium Pro body. It comes with a power factory .26 motor that I bought off someone that took it off their new Lightning Stadium. This motor has about ¾ of a gallon of fuel through it, that’s it. It was broken in by heat cycling. The radio that comes with it is a 27mhz am radio. It also comes with the stock throttle servo and the double steering servo setup from the factory as well. As you can see from the pics, I always tore it down after every race, cleaned and inspected it. This truck is tuned for my climate, it will need to be retuned to suit your climate. I just replaced the clutch bell (14t), bearings and flywheel. I also upgraded the clutch to an HPI Savage 3 shoe with heavy springs. It comes with 2 front and 2 rear a-arms, 2 left rear hubs, the roto start for the motor, starter shaft, 7.2 Volt battery and some other spare parts and screws. I will also include the lightning GT body. Both bodies are in fair condition. They do show wear on them like scratches and a few minor cracks. Do to the nature of this item, it is sold as it. I do promise that it runs and will arrive as described."

Looks good to me.

ORC, I think it's closer to a stadium compared to a GT. All that's different now is the dual steering servo which is gonna get ditched for single servo.

I left it before I looked it over real well because the initial deal went well. The steering is effed up and it has a majorly bent shock shaft as well as a broken wing... after I asked him about it he said "oh yeah the steering did feel a little weird" well thanks for telling me. The wrong hub carriers were on... a whole bunch of chit... And as you can see he already spent all of the money, including the part I am paying him this thursday... :-(

No Dan, I didn't spend the money you're paying me this Thursday, my parents owed me money for babysitting and that combined with the money I had covered the truck.

I thought the steering would just be a screw too tight or something, and we sort of solved the problem already, and you're getting the parts that should fix it when we meet up again.

And replacement shock shafts are in the bag that is with you---you already know this. If you want me to provide oil or something....Just lemme know cause you said you needed some.

The steering parts are not the problem. There is no way switching from a king headz part to a stock one will make it any better... plus that doesn't fix the bent CVD either...

No, I mean the hubs or whatever...The plastic part that was flexing or something...If you want me to unbend the barely bent cvd I will.
