LOSI LST XXL Conversion ideas

[Bondonutz]

Yes it was bought directly throught them via a "web special", I've sent back a few motors over the years and nothing was free for me :-(

During the time your neu is in repair, you still can try the NEU-Castle 1520/1Y on your LST ;)

That's funny you should say that, it's one of the first things that popped in my mind while I was taking the 1521 out of the LST

What do ya think about the esc. location? There is almost an inch from the top of the esc. to the shock mount.It should get better air flow sitting higher than the "temporary" motor.

Bryan... That's where my ESC sits for the most part and it's fine. My truck looks essentially just like this still, but not for long. It'll be more dialed in, detailed, and custom. But I have NEVER had a problem with my ESC sitting up that high. I prefer it actually. Since the stock bodies tend to allow for more splash up and debris, I'd rather not have my ESC sitting directly on the chassis. Maybe it would be ok if I had a better body though?





Bro... Yers sits on the chassis now that you've gone XXL, but it didn't when you were running the LST2 right? I'm pretty sure Bryan's is an LST2 no? And btw... are you ok with our "new design" then? Because the ESC will sit up in front of the rear tower like mine does now. You run aftermarket bodies too, so that probl helps.

MC... I'm not bashin' Neu whatsoever... just in case you were speaking to me. I was talking about Bro owning his for less than three months and having a receipt... and still having to fork out $50 to fix it when the problem was a bad bearing and rotor? That to me is disappointing to hear. If I smoked a motor and it was clearly "my fault", than I would expect to pay to fix it, warranty or not. But if a motor just dies while under warranty, you'd think that the word "warranty" would mean something huh?

Then again, maybe the policy is different for a Neu refurbed motor? Not sure if either of yours were or not. But either way... I would assume that Neu woudl take care of you either way. I can't think of any other brand of motor I would rather run to be honest! They are the best!

I got news from Neutronics about my 1521 1Y. It seems the stator shorted so they will be producing a new stator for it and it is warrantied so no worries. I just need some patience to wait for the motor to come back.

The motor is finally on its way back from Neutronics. Although the work they did on the motor was covered by warranty, I paid a grand total of a little over $50 in shipping fees. Now I need Castle Creations to come out with their new Mamba HV ESC.
