Making a LST2 into a Truggy

I wasn't aware that the strobe only fit the old tranny. Oh well - guess I'll donate that to my brother in law.

I'm not sure that I will be using the maxx motor mount plate - I may end up putting the motor on a seperate mount so it faces the tranny and lines up down the center of the rig. I'm also not sure that I'll run Mod1. I have some of those modded MGT spurs somewhere in the pile. But all my other rigs run 32P, and I may just try to be consistent with them.

ps - I would never venture to say that maxx tranny is in any way superior to the LST tranny - since I dont have any experience with that tranny.

Ok, sounds like the erevo motor mount setup would work better for you. It is a bit stronger, but I would like to see an al case for that tranny as it does trake the motor weight however. Sounds like you have the other bases covered. Have fun with your build!

You can but they would be very small and I doubt you will fit smaller than 22t spurs, maybe not even that small if you plan to run a finned neu sized motor. The rustler 48p gears are closer to the size of the revo mod 1 spurs.

Exactly!

Cures that problem! Thanks for the link Harold (can I call you Hairy?). I am guessing someone makes a stronger motor plate as well. But....Once you add the cost of that tranny case, another tranny for internals(or buy the internlas piecemeal) and a better motor plate you have eclipsed the cost of the tdr stuff, and you still have to make stuff. And I still do not think it is as good. All of the internal gears in the lst tranny are steel, and to me the fit and finish is better than the traxxas stuff.

But if you like making stuff or have the parts hanging around go for it!!! It is fun building stuff!

shit, you can call me sally if you want. I'm still going with a gtp 51t center spool w/ my lst. I got the whole shebang for $20 on e-bay. Woot!
