Losi LST E-Conversion Kit

How are the Losi holding up?
I haven't seen many talk about breakage.

couple questions here, hopefully someone can answer. I converted my lst2 to brushless probably 4 years ago. used the fine design mount and an xl11 motor I think it was and a used FD battery tray that i picked up. its worked fine for me but the I got a forward only esc and have no place to really mount it, rigged it so it works the way it is but not really happy with it.

this kit looked nice because the battery box has the esc mount on it which would help.

So anyway, can someone explain why you have to change gears in the transmission? I never did and the truck has run fine for me and its on 6s as I had the batteries laying around. way too damn fast to be fun though with the current setup.

Also, if I wanted to ditch the mechanical brakes and mechanical reversing, I would need to do the forward only conversion, is that correct? I'd also have to ditch the 2 speed and just go one speed with a dude racing hub?
