LOSI LST XXL Conversion ideas

[JThiessen]

XXL uses inner cup #B3537 and B3532 outer, the LST2 uses the same numbers. Now there is an optional HD inner case and gear set that you can get which has steel plates for the cross pins - but the cup is still plastic. I did this upgrade on mine.

Yes those HD diff cups are very strong. I have a few of them left since they are what I used to make the E-Revo center diffs with. Now I have been shopping around for either a XXL or a LST2 and I see a lot of different prices for them. I have no idea of a reasonnable price for a used LST.

Can someone tell me what to look for let's say:

A used XXL complete - how much?
A used XXL roller - how much?
A used LST2 complete - How much?
A used LST2 roller - How much?

I have no idea how much these things are worth used. I could do with a LST2 since I already have the HD diffs, a XXL chassis, a XXL body and XXL middle shafts.

Thanks

Well I finally bought an LST2. It's a roller that was never used, brand new.

I already have:

- XXL chassis
- XXL body
- XXL diffs complete with blue cases and long shafts

When I paid for the LST2 on ebay, I went shopping for other stuff that might come in handy. Stuff like:

- RCM Drive Cups - Hardened Steel. I got 4 of those, 2 for spares
- Some Turnigy thick heat shrink tubing for batteries. I want to try those.
- Complete set of parts needed for the Muggy steering set up
- A 3 mm by 9'' X 11.85'' sheet of CF
- A 2.5 mm by 9'' X 14'' sheet of CF
- A JR DS8711 Ultra Torque SX Digital Servo
- A Neu 1521 1Y 5mm shaft motor (I wish I could have bought this from Mike also but he was out of stock and I was in a ''shopping gotta get it NOW'' kinda mood.
- Losi 17 mm wheel hex conversion
- Losi LST2 sway bar kit
- I also went ahead and ordered new tips for my hex wrenches.

The wife is going to flip

So where's the new LST forum? Did I miss the official opening?

I don't know when I will be able to start the build, my garage is a mess and I have to build a backyard shed to move a lot of stuff out of the garage so that I can start organizing it as a workshop. Which means electrical work, plumbing, insulating, dry walling, heating, etc. A lot of work.

You sound like me... Putting off rc for the big projects!!!

Best thing I can do with my time right now is decide what rc stuff i want to keep and move the rest on. Trying to get down to a single 9ft tall shelf unit for rc. Right now I have 2 of those shelf setups, and a bunch of stuff littering the ground. I am sure I could carefully organize what I have and get it all on the shelves, but I really need to part ways with the stuff I never plan to use. Maybe get down to 20 rcs, including the boats!

Good luck with the xxl project, I will be interested to follow your progress. When the dead of summer hits here I will get back to rc, too hot to be outside then!

It's AWESOME. It's the RCM of LST trucks. Friendly people too.

Wow, I can't believe that I didn't realize this. Maybe there is a difference between the RAM/LST diff's and the LST2/AFT/XXL diffs then? Cuz I was sure there was one.

I've heard great things about the Nova cups. I'm not going to bother with any of that until something breaks.
