RC Driving Style
After a couple hrs of running my LST2 I notice my front wheels wanting to pull a lot more then the back. Lost of speed and the front shakes as I gas it. How and where do I adjust the Diff. I looked but couldnt see anything I could adjust that would seem to fix it... Any help would be great appericated.
 
Change your diff oils in the front and rear to fit your style....
 
Thanks Jon for your help but why would it slip that fast? I have only 3-4 tanks on it. It was fine one minute then started acting up. It did do a small flip right before that but everything checked out fine.

Maybe a leak in the center diff seal?

The LST does not have Center diff.

Changing to a heavier diff oil in the front will slow the diff action in the front fiving you more traction. As far as the vibrating.. check all screws in the drive line are secure. Anything meal to metal needs to be loctited with blue thread lock NOT PERMANENT!
 
Mate It Sounds Like The Screws In Your Cvd,s Have Come Loose . Check Ya Shafts Between G Box And Diffs . Splodge Some Good Thred Lock On Em , Jobs A Gooden .
 
I'd have to agree with Jon2. Chances are your diffs came with grease in them, or too light an oil. Put some diff oil in the front and the back and you'll be good.

do you plan on racing your truck or just bashing it? SOmbody might be able to set you up with the right oil config for your truck.
 
thanks

It was a small screw in the shaft. It was tight but the shaft wasn't all the way in the tranny. I had no idea it was adjustable. Thats what I get for buying a RTR. Thanks for your help.
