Brushless LST2 conversion - This is how to do it!!!

[TexasSP]

Hey James, what do you think would be a reasonable speed range to gear for in the LST2 using a CC Neu 2200 on 6s? I am looking at lowest to highest speed.

I just ordered the TDR motor mount then saw the 20t pinion I planned using may not work with the mount. So if I am stuck with the 25t pinion that puts me at 60 mph with the big joes that are on it. Do you think this is too much considering the weight of the truck?

conventional wisdom would say thats too much speed for that heavy of a truck. but that system is in a savage and geared for 60mph, so it just may work. I say try it and check temps often. maybe we're all being too conservative

DO you plan to run a 63t spur? I am using a 23t pinion right now and looks like I could go down to a 22t, maybe a 21. The 2200 on 6s will be a bit high to gear under 50mph with the 63t spur. You could try to use the 70t spur...

The lst can handle speed well. just make sure you have sway bars.
