Height: (178mm)
Weight: 9.39lbs (4260g) approx.

Hellfire Specifications:

Wheelbase = 348mm*
Total Length = 513mm
Total Width = 415mm
Total Height = 173mm
Weight = 9.2 lb (ready to run, less fuel)

Reference Wheelbases: Savage = 335mm, 1/8 scale Buggy = 323mm
*Varies with Inboard Toe Setting

So...... the LSP is about 3/4" longer

Eric, the issue I see is when your take one wheel and compress the susension fully. Take the wheel and move it top to bottom like your checking for a blown bearing. The actual wheel moves alot (exactly like a blown out bearing) If you look at where the slop is coming from, you can see that the knuckle moves where its bolted up from the C-hubs. Maybe a steel insert pressed into the hub would cause less slop ? Almost like the hubs stretch out.

I knew the LSP was long, but that's crazy! Does it have the longest wheelbase of the currently available truggies?

The hubs to stretch, but luckly they're cheap.

Roc is right, the front hub carriers stretch, I noticed the drivers side more than the other side.

Thanks guys, gonna have to stock up on some.

A little slop in my B main opinion isnt going to affect much... But thats a b mainer talking. I think with the overall power, size, wheel contact patch and weight a slight amount of slop is ok

I boiled my last set and it seamed to help.... a little trick I learned from my GS SUT days they had bad plastic too

I hear SUT's are going cheap, you wanna buy one?

dentguy92 · (#85 (**permalink**))

I can ask Chris if he needs another one

cemeb4dk · (#86 (**permalink**))

Comes with lots of spares!!!!!

Eracer76 · (#87 (**permalink**))

I just checked mine and it has that slop no matter what position the arms are in

They can only streach so far before the cap head screws that hold the knuckle will stop it.
I suppose you could shim the bushing in the c-hub, but then you would probably run the risk of it not turning easy.

No fix but replacing
