Ah man, Horizon is sending the updated housings out for free to anyone who has the V1.
That's awesome!
Thanks for the info! I hate how you can't call and talk to anyone over at horizon but I sent them a message so I hope they send me the updated ones free.
well done video man. I just busted my axle housing the other day too. Perfect timing for the release of this vid!
Thank you! I figured this would be helpful since these axles are know to crack...hopefully the newer style with the honeycomb inside will help. Thanks for watching!!
you help me out today so I like and I subscribed
Thanks! I'm glad it helped!!
@@rcleesd you have no idea you made a 6yr old boy in Boston so happy today, I was getting frustrated taking it apart and you came through with your video like superman 👍🏾
Awesome! Glad to hear it!
Added to rc Playlist 👍 I just put in a claim for the new ones like buddy below said. Hopefully they send me a set for free.
Awesome! Thanks for watching and let me know if they do!!
@@rcleesd Definitely will brotha 👍🍻 Hate how you can't talk to a person but I guess that's the world we live in today...
Wish they had a factory recall..
Me too.
Awesome jobs my friend 👍😍
Thank you!
Nice..great job🔥👍🏻💪🏻
Thank you!
@@rcleesd 💪🏻welcome
Great job👌👍
Thank you!!
Nice video
Thank you!
@@rcleesd 👍
i bought the pre built brand new LOSI lmt from this guy and turns out that the screw that you removed at 4:13 ... 3 were missing which i had doubt at the beginning when i saw the wheel was wiggly while driving it.
Aww man, that's such a bummer!!
Excellent! Now go out there and beat the shi*^ out of it! Hope this upgrade really works!
That's the plan! I hope it holds up too!
I haven't broken mine yet but I have one of the new center sections for when one if them breaks. Hope you have good luck. Aluminum sets are just over the top expensive. I'd rather buy another RC
I agree, the aluminum is too expensive. Hopefully this holds up, so far, so good.
Yeah the aluminum ones are wild. I can get a very nice full size aluminum bumper for my Jeep for around same price as that upgrade.
They have Chinese ones for 130 a set that supposedly hold up to “15 ft drops” at a skatepark
Where did you bought screwdriver? Is there a link? Thanks
I bought it on Amazon, it's the Dewalt 8V Gyroscopic version. Here's the link....amzn.to/2WM4wtu
Thanks for watching!
I wonder if I can still get a set of v2 axles. I think the used truck I got is a v1
Definitely worth the upgrade for sure!
I wonder if filling the cross pattern with epoxy would help.
I'm sure it wouldn't hurt!
thats a good idea
Hey man! For the drive shaft, I took out the grub screw/pin. Then do I just pull to take it out? Because I've been pulling like crazy and I can't remove the drive shaft. Thanks in advance!
Yes, it should just come out. Maybe there is something bent or twisted?
@@rcleesd thanks. I finally got it out. I think it was just seized of something. I had to put a flat head screwdriver in between the pinion gears and the plastic casing and twist and then it slide out
Great video!!.
Can these new axles be used to
Replace the front as well?.
Thank you! To be honest, they look identical. The mounts (holes) for the servo are even on the rear axle, stock (and replacement axle). So I would say yes, but I do believe they are packaged as front and rear, as mine was labeled "rear".
Thanks chief!!!
Going to order the reinforced set.
Right on!
How are these new axles holding up for those that got them stock on their LMT? Other items that are breaking? I really want one of these but just don’t have time to repair etc after every
couple hours! Also, what electric screwdriver are you using? Thanks!
That's awesome that you are a realtor, I am as well! The axles have held up well, the only other issue was the servo saver broke, but a simple and easy fix. The drill I am using is an 8 volt Dewalt Max drill. I can't find the exact same one on Amazon, but this is nearly identical (pistol grip rather that straight) and comes with two batteries.....amzn.to/3AuTyXZ
@@rcleesd so it has variable speed? I got the Wowstick. Very convenient but not having variable speed drives me nuts.
What state/area are you a realtor? I do a lot of our of state referrals etc. Maybe we could work one together and whoever sent the referral buys a rad RC for both using referral fee. 😎 #winning
I'm licensed in California and work mostly in North San Diego County. I'm not sure what you mean about variable speed? Like a two speed transmission? It does have a power adjustment on the controller for 50% 75% and 100% but no hi/low.
@@rcleesd on the screwdriver my wowstick is just one speed. Can’t drive faster or slower.
Cool. Not sure if can message on here but we should exchange info. Quite a few folks from California are moving here right now. I’m the broker for my office, and I can’t tell you how many California transfers I’ve handled in past 2 years.
Oh, yes, it is variable speed. Goes very slow to moderately fast and has just enough torque to do the job, but not so much power that it strips screws. It's perfect for RC stuff.
Can anyone tell me if you buy a Losi lmt now, do they come with the upgraded axles? Or can you still be unlucky and get the first version?
I would say it is possible to find some old stock, but more than likely any reputable hobbie shop should have the newer version.
Where can I get these drill bits?
I got these ones on Amazon.
They all break in the same spot. I have the new lmt sonuva digga and the front broke right in that spot.
Update to metal, or it will break again.
💯 I upgraded to metal and it has been much better.
Broke 3 new style axles (Bottom links broke off) in 3 days, replace both axles now with Treal aluminium axles. Expensive but I just want to play worn my truck not fix it all the time lol.
Interesting, thank you for sharing your experience! I may have to upgrade to Treal too.
Totaly agree.
