but i havent decided on the kit for sure yet. if i get the RPM arms and a couple other items the kit will be half unused.......

hmm maybe i can get someone to go in on one with me

Well... I haven't really had any issues with the stock ones on my aftershock in over a year. I mean there's some wear, but that's to be expected. CVD's don't last forever and require maintenance/cleaning to keep them working as long as possible.

I've busted two. One was due to neglect, the other busted upon a very hard impact with an inanimate object. My only guess is that it put the cvd joint at such a bad angle, that it bound and snapped.

I have run 4 gallons through with stock engine and probably 3-4 gallons through with an LRP28S3. Two of the axles are completely original. One of the others has a new bone and the 4th has a new axle as it's what snapped off.

To be honest, I don't see the point in the LST2 upgrade kit. At least not as a general basher. The only thing I can see it making easier is the usage of larger hubs. I haven't had many issues with much except for the turnbuckles. Which I replaced all with lunsford and haven't had an issue since. I replaced the arms with RPM arms right away and I also installed standard diameter MT tires, not the big poofy ones it came with.

the big poofy ones it came with.

lol @ that. they are poofy arent they like flat tires. one thing they climb up on curb reall nice though.
