Thanks, you guys are too kind!

TD, your truck should be nice. Just take your time, and you will be fine. I will post a pic of my original motor mount so that you can see what a homemade mount could look like.

would you sell your original mount?

If you need more just let me know . Did you see my link to the lst forum in my post above ?. Also did you do the gear flip in the tranny ?.

TwzteD · 12.28.2008, 05:30 PM

Alright, But Can You Post A Pic So I Have An Idea?

Yep. I did the gear swap. Worst part was that the small screw holing the bevel gear on the idler shaft was tighter than a dick's hat. Had to file the sides flat (it was a button head) and clamp it in the vise to get it out. After that the case has to be slightly modded, about 30 seconds with the dremel. Not a huge gearing difference, but enough to help the limited spur selection for the lst.

I may have to hit you up for some kydex, but i have a few sheets left. I actually used one to make the chassis for my 2.2 crawler, and all of my buddies use the scraps to make mount brakets and such for their trucks. You kydex is all over Slidel!!!

No prob, I will search it out and snal a few pics. Just used a piece of 2x3 6061 angle and trimmed it to fit. It adjusts using the stock slotted holes on the chassis, which can be a paint in the ass to set the mesh. But it held the hacker motor fine, maybe a touch of up and down flex at the un-supported end of the motor.

I has a similar problem with that screw on my lst2

. Did you get the BAC drag link for the steering ?. I have thicker kydek if you need it . But it is cream in color & not black . I also have very thin kydex in light gray & drak gray if you need some .

I have not found a bac link yet, was looking for that and the al bellcranks for the steering. They seem to be the popular way to fix the steering slop (not much in mine), along with the mixture of Ar and losi servo saver parts.

How much thicker is the cream kydex? I may have you send me some of that and the thin stuff, as i am always making something, and it is good to have a variety of materials. Wonder if kydex can be dyed like other plastic?

I just measured it it's .186 in or 4.7mm .

I liked the ones without the bushings were the link mounts . these were the only one's i found . But they have the bushings .

Nice James, good stuff, looks like he has the mounts now. Now my only excuse for not finishing this is that Im broke lol. Easily solved, Thanks for posting all that up. Ill get mine rolling soon after the new year. .. BTW what gearing are you running (pinion). I have the FOC, Ti 54 spur. I think. (smallest Ti i could find) and some 23 gear that goes in the tranny to make it a little higher geared. (havent put it all together yet still in bags) Just copied off what you all recommended. Thx
