FLM has a conversion kit I believe.

FLM has one but it only works with there towers, i think new era makes one and the IRC one is what everyone runs but shipping would probably cost too much.

innovative rc charged me under $50 for everything. A nice kit too.

 

[AZN dubs]

i went with IRC, and spent like 100 for everything, including shocks.

I got lucky and won my shocks on ebay for $10.50 no bull. They're the adjustable plastic ones.

omg, i wonder if it was the guy on here that had his for sale, he said the got like 10 bucks for them on ebay.

You can use the FLM lst conversion but if you use your stock shock towers you will have to modify them. You will need a drill bit (side cutting works best) to drill the holes in the shock towers. You will also need some kind of spacer to keep the bottom of the shock out. If you don't want to do it like this, I've seen the IRC lst conversion which you have to use the savage 25 arms. Good luck with your build.

They were new. I think the seller was from Canada

it IS possible to mount the lst shocks without the lst mounting kits, i don't know how well it works. https://www.hpisavageforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8663&highlight=lst+shocks
That link might help should you decide to go that route.

I use the savage x arms. there are two different kits.

 

[Combuster]

irc does have two kits x and 25

i just threw some 25 arms on and called it a day. i feel like they are a bit stronger, because my truck has seen a lot of beating and so far they haven't broken. (i've had the truck for 3 years now)

I like the 25 arms more than the X arms. The 25 arms feel thicker and more durable. With the X mount kit, I believe the bottom mounts only use one hole. That puts lots of stress on that one hole. With the 25 kit there is two hole mounts. Much more durable. Glad to here that they are working good for you.

The IRC lst X kit does use just one shock mount hole but there is a second screw that goes into the tab from the bottom.

Ohh, didn't know that. Thanks for clearing that up.

The (2) major kits I've used are New Era and Innovative R/C. I preferred the New Era kit personally.
