Need ideas for Mini LST project

[jhautz]

I'm with 83gt on the dif thing. I had one that I tried everything on and the diffs just dont hold up. The metal ring gear viscus difs that losi finally came out with were the best solution, but even with them 3s was a killer for them. A nice mild brushless system is whaqt you need in that thing. anything crazy and you will spend more time rebuilding dif than running.

Just go with the mamba 4600 on 2s and it'll be a funn little truck. Other than the diffs its a great truck.

I have a mlst2, running this motor http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/s...idProduct=4202

on a old mamba 25, 3s, and It has done fine for probably 10 packs or so, but I am not really a hardcore basher. Needs a center spool or something, pretty much just blows the front tires off. I havn't had any other problems though.

I'm thinking of going direct outrunner brushless or 540 brushed to input shaft on tranny. If it's fast and fun enough I'll upgrade to MIP diffs. What KV would be good with 6-7cell nimh? Also does anyone have a link to a single standard servo conversion for the Mini LST?

The diffs are crap in the mlst, all of them. If I were you I would not waste your time. You will be pissed at it, eventually.

Not encouraging, Maybe I'll just sit on it till I get a good plan.
Anyone have a complete tranny?
