How much time am I looking at to service the Diffs on my LST? I am fairly good at working on these things but my lighting and tool selection kinda sucks. Thanks for the help.

Are we talking complete stripdown, and regrease/oil? If you know what to do it should take about an hour.

Yes, a complete take apart to look at the gears and re-fill with fluid.

Consider using thicker oil for posi action.Your going to have to fill them anyway.
I use 15000wt in front & 60000 for the rear.
Good luck.....

Right now I have a Nitro Rustler, which will be for sale shortly, that I have heavily modified and a Blitz ESE that I plan to race with when I actually get some time off work. The LST is purely for fun. I'm just gonna put in the 5000 weight oil that I have and run it. All it will need after that is the m26ss that I plan on plugging in to it for power.

If you get all you're tools and diff lube youb should be able to take them out and service the reassemble in less than one hour. All you should need is a few allen wrenches that come with the truck and some rags and degreaser to remove old grease
