LOSI LST XXL Conversion ideas

[mistercrash]

Picture posting time!

Sorry for the delay but I started putting everything together and it was going so well that I couldn't stop.

After a couple months of thinking, planning, drawing, thinking, redrawing, shopping, and yadeeyadeeyadah. This is what I came up with for a LST conversion.

PARTS MODIFIED

I modified the chassis rails to make room for the Muggy steering. The bellcranks of the Muggy steering were also modified.

PARTS FABRICATED

To make the conversion, I made a new chassis top plate, a new middle skid plate, a front skid doubler for the steering, battery boxes from project boxes found on ebay, a mounting plate for the receiver box, a system to support the rear of the motor, a new motor plate. While I was at it, I made the plates that go under the shock towers out of CF but that is optional. I could've made other stuff out of CF but for now I want to keep those stock aluminum parts on the truck.



PUTTING EVERYTHING BACK TOGETHER

This is just a series of pics of the build in sequence. Many pics so I'll to post a few times.
