Nice looking rigs.

I'd suggest getting the LST2 spur cover and RC Raven dual rate springs for the LST. If you bash for big air... getting the anno'd center skid that sticks out past the spurs and pipe will help you avoid bending the trans input shaft and toasting a header.
 
Sorry,I put them in the wrong section. The LST has the spur cover but not in the pic. The carb has to be cleaned also. Where can I GET THE CENTER SKID?

Nice rigs. You planning on converting them to brushless or shall I move this to the appropriate forum?
 
Do you run in hi or low gear range mostley?
Thus far I have been running mine in high. It has done a great job. Low would be good for deep sand but I am not about to run my rig in it...

They say low is good for climbing, etc. but mine has done just fine at the local track in high.

Mc-59 plugs. The Mach 427 is a great engine for monster trucks. It drinks a lot of fuel but makes great power. Not ridiculous power, just enough to bash or race with authority.
 
What is the tune like on the 427?? What GP do you run in this beast?

I run an OS #8 myself. Like scrogg suggested the MC-59 is good too. They are both considered hot plugs which the big block really needs to run it's best. Also, use a quality 20% fuel for this mill.

I think I got mine on ebay much cheaper or at liquidrc.com, but I can't find it at liquid anymore...

As for a plug for that engine, I know my buddy runs OS #8 in his. However, I've found that a bit cooler plug like the McCoy MC8 works really well in my XTM24.7. I have yet to try one in my LRP28.
 
The MC-8's work well with 30% fuel, but you do give up some idle quality. I prefer the MC-8's myself. They run cooler and give more top end. OS plugs are too short for these engines. It's not going to hurt them, but you are slightly reducing compression. McCoy plugs are the correct plug for Dynamite/SH engines.

Strange--the OS plug and the stocker that came with my truck are the same height...
 
Does anyone have any sway bars that would fit my LST, to sell or anything thanks.
How does the orange head and the till green head on the 427 differ? Thanks guys.
