RE: Help with an old truck
The Tracker shared a lot of the same parts with the original Ultima series of vehicles. If you need parts check out ebay, there's usually a good bit of parts for the vintage Kyosho stuff.

RE: official hotbodies lsp thread
I have thought about it too, but it will be fairly expensive. You would need Lightning buggy A-arms, cvd's, turnbuckles, spur gear, shock towers and shocks. SC8 body, wheels, tires, and find a way to mount up the fr/rr bumpers as well. I'm going to try it after I get my D8T using the LSP-R shocks and towers but I dont think it will work with the shorter a-arms.

RE: official hotbodies lsp thread
It is a RTR Pro so it came with the aluminum a-arms other than the buggy upper arm conversion and the 17mm hubs its pretty much stock now. I had a Go-Tech 5 port .21 in it for a while but to be honest the stock .26 is a pretty decent easy to tune mill. I dont bash at all I only race and on the club level the LSP can be very competetive, unless your local track is the Dirt or Rev..lol Here is a list of everything I used to do the 22 degree hub, buggy upper arm and 17mm conversion. Upper A-arm conversion 22 degree conversion. Part# 8011-1 22 degree C-hubs 8134 Screw and ball for steering 8012 Upper susp pins 8116 Suspension holder 8158 Plastic A-arms KYOIS053 Kyosho ball ends 8003 Lightning bumper 17mm conversion SWK3177 front axle stubs 8065 rear axle stubs Kyosho Kanai 3 17mm hubs(free from a friend)

RE: >Project - TEK18X2SE - 2wd - 1:18<
What is the wheelbase? I really like the look of an 1/18th 2wd buggy, I have several Mini-T's laying around and may order up a Slider chassis to do a conversion.

RE: OFFICIAL HOT BODIES LIGHTNING STADIUM PRO/PRO-R THREAD
[quote]ORIGINAL: Jckrue29 Thanks for getting back to me. The reason I was asking about the ball ends was because yours didn't seem to be offset in your picture. They're the ones at the end of the upper arms correct? [/quote] No, they are the steering tierod ends and I hadnt yet installed them in the picture. They replace the stock ones that have been notched.

RE: OFFICIAL HOT BODIES LIGHTNING STADIUM PRO/PRO-R THREAD
Sorry it took me so long to get back on this, I've been out of town for last week or so. 8116 is the part that I used(black plastic), if you bought your LSP new you should already have it, it was included in the box. And yes 8005-1 is the front upper arm I used, I did have to grind about 5mm off of the tierod to get -2 deg caster up front. KYOIS053, are offset and allow for more steering throw without rubbing on the back side of the wheels.

[quote]ORIGINAL: crazy4wdracer Looks Great! You might also want to convert to buggy shock towers. What powerplant are you running? [/quote] I put the stock .26 back in it until my GoTech .21 5p shows up in a couple of weeks, I have the King headz shock towers for it but I need to get the buggy shocks for them to work correctly, I may try the HB 16mm BB's whenmy LHS can get them in.

RE: official hotbodies lsp thread
Let's keep this thread at the top, I know there are a few still racing the LSP-R and many more just bashing. After a couple of years away from r/c I've decided to get back into it. I started looking at new truggies and really didnt want to spend the cash for an 8t, Mugen, St-RR, etc..... So, I dusted of the old LSP and ordered a few upgrades to make it more competetive, here is what I ordered. Upper A-arm conversion 22 degree conversion. Part# 8011-1 22 degree C-hubs 8134 Screw and ball for steering 8012 Upper susp pins 8116 Suspension holder 8158 Plastic A-arms KYOIS053 Kyosho ball ends 8003 Lightning bumper 17mm conversion SWK3177 front axle stubs 8065 rear axle stubs Kyosho Kanai 3 17mm hubs(free from a friend)

RE: Hyper 8 truggy
It's so much closer to the Hyper 7 than the 8 that it will be easy to convert a hyper 7 to a hyper ST when parts are available. It pretty much is a hyper 7 with a longer chassis and a-arms.

Look at the HB Lightning Stadium RTR.. ultimatehobbies has them for $379.00 w/ free shipping. Cheapest way to get into truggys and its better than a Mayhem ST or GS SUT for less money.
