Yet another E-XXL
 

It took a while but I'm finally able to post it.

Tried the Losi conversion set the way they say to do it.....didn't work, way to much weight in the back.

A few minutes with a dremel, and I've got a battery tray and ESC mount.

After a total of 5 minutes the Xcelorin ESC quit on me. It would just stutter when trying to start. Once in a while it would get going if you gave the truck a push. but no power really, like the EPA were at 60%.


So today I got this in the mail. the 1515/1Y fits nice and snug in the Losi mount. It's actually like it was made for it.

Just when I had finished up installing the Mamba Monster(truck has been idle for more than a month) the fricken sky opens up and dumps three days of rain in 5 hours. Just my luck. :oh:

Oh and here's a few shots of a Strike body I painted up for it. It looks a little jacked up but hey, real monster trucks are jacked up like that, besides it looks cool as feck going 40mph down the street with two feet in the air. :smile:

that looks freakin' AWSOME!!! :surprised:

Thanks. It took me a lot of research to get to the point of deciding to convert it. I may end up putting the Xcelorin(when I get it back, LHS is not the quickest or sharpest tool in the drawer) in my 8ight EU for next season. :yes: Although I do love the sound of a pissed of nitro mill. :tongue:

Looks really tidy- no issues installing the MMM motor in the losi mount? I know a few guys were wandering if it would fit or not- I'll assume it does :lol:

No problem whatsoever, other than colour coordination. :wink:

Hey NB, glad to see you finially made it !

Pics look nice, they somehow look of better qaulity here than on LSTF ??

^ +1 I thought that truck looked familiar.
Cant wait to get mine done!

Well Bryan you got your motor already, you ben using it ??

I'm waiting for an email from THE DUDE as we speak. The motor mounts will be available today once they go through his QC.I ordered the single speed hub last week and he is holding it until he ships my mount.

Looks good, nice to know the cc motors will fit the losi mount. I have a NIB losi kit sitting here, might make its way into a lst something or other. Front battery mounting is the way to go, and plenty of room on the xxl chassis. Maybe that is what my lst needs... I still want to go with a single servo, and the muggy steering setup so I will have to make my own chassis.

Body looks great, nice paint job!

Front mounted battery for sure, I never was a fan of how Losi wants you to mount the ESC as pretty much the highest point on the truck. Nothing but the roof of the body to protect it. Hmmmm


Body was nice, until I ran it once. I'm really peeved that the paint I got was so horrible. 5 minutes of slow driving and I can already see cobwebs in the paint.

Ultimate Racing Colours get's a thumbs down from me.

I got my motor mount ordered today,but i dont think that nued motor will work :rofl:

With 6s the GF might like it ?

NAAAAH sounds like you have already "USED IT" i mean figured it out:lol:

On 6S the girl would get blurred vision.

DAMN, Not you too mistercrash:lol:

Not to mention the noise... Would sound something like a nitro motor idling in a jar of mayonnaise...

LOL, mental image. :rofl:

Or fisting said jar...

Eeeewwww:gasp::oh:

Weather finally dried out, enough for me to get my feet wet. I very happy with the performance of this setup. just did 10 minutes of light bashing, high speed runs, and trying to brake the car down from 40 without endo-ing it. :intello:

Very impressed with how cool it runs. battery is around 40c, motor 50c and the ESC barely breaks 30c. Time to break out the skateboard ramp from the basement.

I can't see me going for any higher speeds right now, looking at a LST going 40 coming right at ya is fast enough. :mdr:

Got the Losi single speed hub so I can finally ditch my homemade one. It did the job okay but I'd rather have a purpose made piece on there.

That looks awsome Carstinc,but i couldn't help the fact that the DUDE hub is just pure eye candy :lol:

Yeah but I'm cheap and the TDR stuff is a lot of muhla. :wink:

can some one post a link to the TDR website?

Here ya go.

Here's a video from today. I broke the front diff early in the session, so don't give me grief about the clicking noise. :wink: It held up fine through the day even though the pinion was missing a tooth. I'll keep running it till I get a spare diff ordered on ebay. I love running this truck. Flies really well, and takes a beating. I'm sure some of you mistreat your truck even more. :intello:
