i would definitely be questioning all the servos being dead, you sure you had them plugged in the correct orientation? black to the outside, white or orange to the inside? mine are all still bone stock that it came out of the box with and still work flawlessly.
i would guess that they are the stock gear ratios, usually if they were not people selling it would know. i would count teeth on the CB just to make sure. the spurs should have tooth count stamped on them.
most parts are going to be available through Amain and Horizon, many parts are even still compatible with the LST XXL/2 and 3xle.
truck looks very awesome man!, very clean. doesnt look abused lol looks like you got lucky and they upgraded the plastic diff case with an aluminum one. one of the best upgrades!
thanks man! Ya know the more I look at it, I realize I did get a good one and just being overly cautious about ripping into it. I noticed the aluminum diff cup right away, and everything spins flawlessly.i think today I知 gonna try fussing around with the spektrum servos and radio gear again, because like you said I doubt the servos are toast, all 4 spin freely with no grinding or binding in either direction when moved by hand at least. I think I知 gonna order a new flat 5 cell pack and some clutch shoes. I also have to get a nasty black glob of dried fuel out of the tank, right where the bottom fuel nipple is. I知 guessing simple green or fresh fuel might get that out. Thanks again for all your encouragement and help. I知 realizing that once I get these screws and other minor parts( battery, switch, etc) and get the radio gear set up I知 basically good to go. I also need to look into some of my servo mounts, the shifting servo isn稚 mounted in tightly even though the mounts and servo itself are screwed in. It痴 wobbly . Looking forward to fixing this up though, might get a Novarossi 28-8 pull start engine instead of throwing the dynamite in. We shall see
