LST2 Conversion "Budget & Powerful"
 

Well guys I decided to abort the lst2 4-stroke conversion because of clutch mounting issues and decided to go brushless instead. My setup will be the following...

ESC- BidProducts 125-150a 7s
Motor- KB45 8xl
Battery- Four 3s 2800mah 30c packs "Two 2800mah packs in parallel which makes a 5600mah 3s 30c which will be paired in series with another Two 2800mah 30c packs wired in parallel to make a 5600mah 3s 30c to make a 5600mah 30c 6s pack." Hope you guys could understand that.:lol:

Ill see if I can get some new pics up once I get home.:yes:

Heres the mount Ben mocked up for me. Looks great!

ygpm.

Mount is made for as a universal mount for the kb45 or equivelant motor with a 6mm shaft and 30mm hole spacing w/4mm screws yadda yadda, blah blah you get the point. if anyone needs one PM me

Nice conversion, I'm also doing a LST conversion atm..
Good luck with it!


oh, just one question; do you know with what programm that motor mount is made?

Thanks,

Patrick

i used prodesktop and solidworks for setting the material and all the visuall stuff

Ok thanks, I will download solidworks, and will try to make a motor mount or something! :lol:


Thank you!

do you need something designed?
pm me what you need i might be able to whip something up for you:mdr:

acronyms are funny, in my world atm means something different entirely.....


i'm pro life, and it's a sad day when any conversion is aborted. The heartbeat begins as soon as you receive your truck in the mail and the box is opened. sinner.

you get that mount made I want one also. Willing to throw Mike sales and service fee, Just really need an LST2 mount... anyone lol


that sounded bad... I mean I know Mikes busy and im a lamo and I wouldnt burden him with making me a special project as he has done so nicely for many. Im not feeling selfish this time of year (come spring though) LOL so If someone happens to make one I would love to contribute as its sitting in my 7 degree freezing garage just expanding and contracting

got a link to the bidproduct esc? I don't know about that one.

Hmm, pity about the 4 stroke, but the BL setup will be better. Personally I would pring for a MMM, do the FOC conversion in the tranny, run a single speed hub from TDR and use mech brakes. That will delete the servos in front of te tranny and make room for a battery tray. I run fp 4500 30c 6s lipos in mine, and with the 10xl hacker c50 it has plenty of power. I have a TRD motor mount coming, and will throw the 1521 1y neu on there!!! Should have it all together by the weekend.

If you have lst questions I have a few and my buddies have nitro ones. We have gone thru them and they are great trucks. Very sturdy drivetrain, especially with the foc tranny mod and the al case diffs. I splurged and put the TiN coated ring and pinion sets in my lst, not really necessary, but I had the parts hanging around. Plus there are a few options for the diff cups, std are all pastic, the heavy duty 8t plastic cups with steel inserts look to be a good way to add strength and not add much weight. And you can go with full al cups too. Great truck, and with the lst2/muggy arms, hubs and cvds it is at least as stong as a truggy.

My next 6x6 will be lst based, just waiting on parts!

Get the tdr one, I just ordered one and should have it by the end of the week. I can get you some pics and personal opinion of it if you like....

What hole spacing do you need i could whip something up :)

Standard Neu 1515

Thats easy. ill whip something up when i get home :)
