reddishdsb, does your LST make the noise all the time or only when you hit the brakes. I've never had any problem with mine locking up, just the crunching noise when I hit the brakes. The foc kit eliminates one of the spider gears for the outdrives on the tranny, doesn't it? which might explain why Steve's is a bit quieter.

i have the foc also, no it does not do it all the time. it can be fine then run a
tank pull it in and it will be making the ratcheting noise. you push it back
and fourth and sometimes the wheels will lock up.

If it was me I would pull the tranny and check the screw that holds the pinion gear in the tranny.

Actually I have had the truck lock up when I push it around not running. Steve what pins are you talking about, same with the cup you replaced? I'm looking at the exploded view in my manual, do you have part numbers. 2D, are you talking about the screw that goes into part #B3115 in the tranny?

i noticed when i cleaned the cups out the slots in the cup that the pins slide into at the bottom of the slot it was "wollered" out
what this did was allow the diff gears(the spider ones) would rock back and forth thus binding the diff.
i thought it was in the brakes also,but when mine got really bad it did it without any input from the brakes.
on my first lst when i installed the FOC i noticed the screw came out on the little gear luckily it got stuck in a big glob of grease and didnt get ground up in the gears

i used to put my t-maxx one in wrong all the time
on a side note has anyone flipped the 2 gears to get a little more top end?
i did and i think it really helps with the 40 series tires you gain what you lost when going to the smaller tires.

I always flip the gears, more speed with 40series on a LST is always good.

If its the spider gears making that noise, then the plastic cups are worn. That would be worth a check too. New Era Models, and Team Blue Star (on eBay) both make aluminum cups, and both are high quality. If you want bullit proof, get the sportsworks TiNi coated hardened steel pinion and spur to go along with the aluminum cups. They are made for the Mayhem ST, but are the exact same as the stock LST. I got mine from eHobbies.com for $62 with 2 day shipping (front and rear set).
Good luck!

PITA it would(the cap)would work on another body but not this one,the other caps would work on each other but not this one
i thought i was going out of my mind
i ended up buying a new shock cap and it fixed the problem,for me i think the threads are too fine in the cap and once thay have been removed and replaced a couple times they"debur" themselves.another thing the hard ano is a little thicker on the one i was having trouble with and i think it blunted the threads a bit.
all in all anew cap fixed this problem

im pretty sure the lst is the 11/45 for the taller tires
