LOSI LST XXL Conversion ideas

[Chadworkz]

As always, AWESOME build, man! One of the big RC Companies should hire you to design & build new vehicles, redesign old vehicles, design & build conversion kits, etc., etc...you would be awesome at that, not to mention make a boat-load of money, and even buy a nice boat to keep the money in!

I'm stuck waiting for that 2.5 mm sheet of CF to make the top plate. Once I get it and the top plate is done, I will be able to assemble the truck and finish up the build. So I did a couple things in preparation for it's arrival. I topped up my shocks with shock oil, I rebuilt my diffs with proper silicon diff lube, I balanced my wheels and I also did something to make them look nicer. Dish wheels are great but they're boring. They look ok but boring. Someone on the LST Forums used a washer as a guide to make holes in the rims. Cool trick but I had to complicate things so I made this thingamajigger.



It slips in the cavities of the rims.



And serves as a guide to make pilot holes perfectly.



Then I used a step drill to enlarge the pilot holes to 5/8''.
