Update on LMT axle housings. We are geting much closer to the final revision and starting production.
changes from the original design for version 2.
-The differential will now mount to the back of the front cover. this will keep the gear mesh between the pinion and and ring gears consistant once assembled. (previously was going to float on 2 mounting blocks sandwiched between the covers, we used this method on our 5th scale axle housings and it worked ok, but I think this will be better.)
-All bearing sizes updated to losi version 2 larger sizes.
-servo mount angle reduced
-sway bar mounts revised to be more functional.
-shock mounts changed to screw into threaded holes from each side instead of 1 long screw through both shocks.
-rear lockout system for rear axle- should be adjustable for user selected toe in angle up to 5 degrees.
I am hoping to make all the updated parts strating this week. once it's confirmed the design is going to work as planned I will start a production run (late January most likely). I have not decided if I should do a pre-order on these so i know how many to make on the first run. I don't want to make too few and have anyone miss out but I don't want to make hundreds of them and have them sit on a shelf either. I'll hopefully know by the end of the week if I will open a pre-order or not.
