LST2 vs Stump at full throotle.

[LosiLST]

So today after school I decide that I need to bash my LST2. Me and Rbrevo take my LST2 in the park right by me and start bashing. Got through about two tanks of full hill climbs and major running. Well I see this spot, it's awesome. I've got to jump it. Well there's a stump to the right. No biggie, avoid that right? Yeah, no. I go WAY back, hammer the LST2 and full throttle it, slips to the right, and theres just this WACK!!!! Ohhhh, something gonna be broke. Go up to it expecting a lot. And what do you know? I have ONE broken upper arm. Oh darn. To bad I have brand new RPM arms at home waiting for it. So upper arms on, and out again!! Now I just have to survive till the weekend bash with a couple of my friends.

Damn, and I thought MY body was in rough shape!

Good job on the carnage! LST's ROCK!!!

Yeah, the body was all cut out and everything for the cage. Which I really don't see why, because the cage fit under the body fine with only some minor cutting and he cut the body to hell. So it was already really weak from the get go. And then countless wheelieing doesn't help and neither does 5 foot landings on the back part of the truck. I've been running it with my custom painted Baja body though lately. Just got to finish cutting it.

Your problem is that you have aluminum, and Integy aluminum. Integy is nothing more then crap thats been made to look pretty. Certain parts of these trucks are made to bend, to flex. When you make it all aluminum you have no flexing point and when it does bend it won't bend back. There are plastic parts there for a reason and thats because when they take a hard impact, they will flex and bounce back into shape. Aluminum will take the impact and either send most of the force to the next spot or bend or even possibly both. The Aluminum wont flex back and will be left bent. Thats what your problem is. If it was plastic it would have been fine. IMO you should put your stock plastic bumpers/supports back on. Oh, and get rid of anything that says Integy.
