So thats what 12cell power is like
 

i though i would share some pics of the 12cell LST i have talked about afew times as of late

just the Facts:

its 15.4lbs RTR
the motor is a Medusa 36-80-1100kv
it temporally is powered by 2 max amps 5250mah 6cell lipos (they suck :whistle:)
the esc is a Castle Creations HV110
motor mount is made by The Dude and the motor uses a RC Monster clamp
it still uses the 2-speed
its geared 25/65 and the top speed is 64mph

the truck is mostly stock accept for the forward only conversion and Lundsford Ti steering turnbuckles

ok some time for some HV truck porn :yipi:

The LST is holding up to 12cell pretty well, as long as the slipper is set right, so far the only broken part has been a pin in the transmission, its going threw stock tires pretty quick lol

i will try and get a video soon

Cool. I have a 1521/2Y I'd like to crank up the voltage on. Mostly just waiting on a dedicated HV car esc from CC to come out

Nice layout there :yes: (aside from the flaming bricks on either end lol)

And yeah "this thread is useless without video" :wink:

dude awesome rig! need to get rid of the paper weights with flames though lol. hobbyking has a good selection of lipos in stock in the us now. been using some 6s 3600 30c in my buggy and they run pretty strong. what kind of runtime we lookin at on ~ 37v?

like i said the batts are temps, they were free so we used them, it will be getting hyperions at the start of next season (the season is over in afew weeks here no reason to get new batts just to let them sit)

also we are talking about steeping our game up and running even more cells in our HV trucks next year

Awesome looking truck! How do you like the hv110? Are you using a pistix?

claiming mikes truck as yours huh haha. ya this truck has more power than it needs, but its fun to watch.

Not claiming my truck just posting it for me And never enough power

The hv110 has been great and yes I am running a pisitx

the hv110 is great i ran it in my revo conversion before the mmm came out and i still think its one of the best esc's you can buy, i sold it to mike so he could get his truck going

ikp i never said it was my truck, mine is still in peices because mike keeps steeling my parts, he has been bugging me to post his truck for over 2 months now.

You guys gotta get a vid done of this thing :)

12S is just plain ridiculous....I like it! Vids please. I can't even imagine my truggy w/ 8s never mind 12

I will try to get video before it snows for everyone to see.

Finnster do u recognize the motor?

Was that mine? Honestly I can't remember who I sold it too :lol:

Never ran it anywhere near 12S tho :)

Ya this is the medusa I bought from you I'm putting it to good use :lol:

Here is a 12S MT.....

My old BIG XTM MMT.....

Heres a G/E-maxx MT on only 6s doing a 75mph wheely (too much power).I broke the current 2009 ISC official record and world record with a 81.7 mph pass. Probably would of went faster with less power because I had traction, torque steer and drifting issues when rolling into the throttle the track at high speed.

i just wanted to show what can happen with 12cell power if you forget 1 tiny little shim because you are in a hurry to go run

here is the ring and pinion out of the "bullet Proof" xxl transmission

and some teeth that were left throughout the transmission case

it only took about 2 min of diving to do all of that, shims turn into a big deal at this power level

You need to buy my LST XXL with the E-Revo tranny and the Hot Racing double slipper. :mdr:

lol this truck started life with a traxxas tranny too:lol:

insane!!! Love it! Get the vids up asap!
