Aftershock rebuild

Sort of the same old same old here, but wanted to show you guys some pics of the LST2 cleaned. I can tell the previous owner didn't use it much, there is hardly a scratch on this thing :D. Decided to strip it down after running about 4 tanks through it on Saturday, glad I did because both diffs were almost emptied of grease. Also thinking about extending this one too an dropping in the 454.

Well today I picked up the electric conversion kit for the aftershock and assembled everything on the xxl chassis, still waiting on center cv's. What are your guys thoughts on leaving it a 2 speed with disc brakes? Would I be better off locking the 2 speed hub?
 
The aftershock project is kinda stalled for now, just ordered the xxl center shafts for it that will be here next week, then I need to scrape together the money for the MM system. My main focus has been on the LST2. I ordered the xxl chassis for it and dropped in the new 454. It definitely needs an extended chassis to keep the front end on the ground. :D My only issue is with the fuel tank, I keep seeing air bubbles being sucked into the fuel line from what appears to be the primer. Are these tanks known to leak air from the primers?

The aftershock i had would do the same thing but i never had problems with it running.
 
Send it over to me ill check it our for you:D,i'll make sure its fixed when i send it back:hehe:
 
I got the air leak figured out. I just dropped a little oil on the o rings. They must have been dryed out from sitting too long. All is well now.
 
Getting back to the Aftershock. It has been reassembled with the xxl chassis and the electric conversion kit has been installed. Waiting for two steering servos, an rx and a MM system.

They should work then, I know the RPM ones work on all three, LST 2, Aftershock and LST XXL.
 
Got some new shoes for the LST! I was going to throw the dished wheels on the aftershock but realized I would need 20mm hubs.
