Street Weapon help
Posted: Wed Sep 23, 2020 9:11 pm
So I stumbled upon a "deal" for a $20 generically labeled Losi Street Weapon a few months back . I put it to the side not sure what to do with it and then ended up picking up a few nice on road bodies and thought the SW would be a nice home for the Lamborghini body and started about picking up bits and pieces for it.
Now that I had everything I thought I needed I set about cleaning and rebuilding it. It quickly became clear that this was not the "deal" I thought it was. The belts looked like dental floss when I took off the cover and the rear diff was just shredded.
The main issue I have is the wheels I have don't fit on the SW axles. I was thinking about drilling out the holes on the wheels to make the wider but I was research the wheels and ce across a very vague thread that said you could use XXXS CVD's. It also briefly mentioned something about a long gone RPM widening kit.
Long story short the CVD's don't fit the stock arms. I am already way to deep in this project to call it a "deal" but before I dump more money into it does anyone know if the XXXS rear arms will fit the SW? Do I need to swap out the hubs as well? Is there perhaps another solution I haven't stumbled upon yet?
