Beautiful truck and paint job! Love the lid and those LST tires!!! I'm bidding on some now....

Haha I love those tires I have had them on it since it was a nitro, pretty much since the LST came out. I also use them on my clodbuster.

That's the best part about conversions, feeling good about it :yipi: It feels much better to drive something you put together than to buy something RTR and go play.

Got this $7 slipper kit from Kershaw and gave it a spin today seems to work no issues to report :mdr:

just curius what are the dimensions of your battery(s) in your truck? I want this conversion from FLM, but im curious if I can stack two 11.1v 3s lipos in there.

i'm surprised nobody said this earlier but, your batteries are only rated for 50a constant and 75a burst. with low ratings like that, it is bound to puff and your esc is in danger as well. if you want to get some batteries that have better ratings without spending $200, you should look into the hobbycity lipos.

at the minimum, i recommend this battery:http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/s..._15C_Lipo_Pack

the battery is mislabeled and is actually rated for 20c constant, 30c burst. it uses the same cells as the zippy flightmax packs. 100a and 150a are much better than 50a and 75a. you should notice the power difference immediately.

for only $40, that pack is a steal!

Ok well it was suggested from here actually to buy it but im confused, you say mine is 50a constant and 75a burst but the one you listed is actually rated for 20c constant, 30c burst.

Now I have ran it several times now and it hasnt had any issues doesnt even get all that warm, someone said their labeled a bit lower then they really are also.
If you still want it here is the size
Size-
30mm x 50mm x 160mm

If it matters here is some info from truerc on this pack...

PERFECT FOR 8th scale cars and 40-60 size planes
We field tested these cells to 113A, Thats well over 20C
