Just FYI :dft003:
I fly a 66" span hollow molded glider called Flash that draws 80+ amps on the climb with a Hacker B40 8s w/4:4/1 gearbox 11 x 9.5 prop 4400 3s2p lipo pack and that's considered a mild system...Some are pulling 200 amps or better powering 16-18" props :026: Granted a climb is only 5-10 seconds long but even the pylon guys run upwards of 80 - 100 amps for minutes at a time....

hope this helps

Thanks for the welcome...I have an lst converted to brushless via the fine designs kit..... Neo powered TC3.....Novak powered thunder tiger motorcycle....mamba max 7700 powered XXX-T MF2....mamba 8000kx powered rc18t....a cen matrix in the mail to be powered by a feigao 540 8XL

Plus some smelly nitro junk that I don't even play with anymore ...NTC3 and a stock LST. Both currently being eyeballed as either e-conversions...the NTC3 would be fun to convert and maintain the 2 speed just for kicks, or for sale items along with their support equipment..I'm pretty much done with nitro.....

Plus a gaggle of brushless powered airplanes....

I like brushless :018:

Hey pinolelst
Is the FD LST the LST2 or the original?
How do you like it?

I am using the FD motor mounts for my 8ight as they allow me to use the nitro flywheel and clutch. My only gripe with them is they use standard screws instead of metric. I fixed that pretty quick though :005:

It's on one of my LST1's that I tricked out a little with CF and hard nodized chassis plates and aluminum diffs .I have the LST2 conversion kit sitting here waiting for me to find the time/motivation to switch over the cvd's. hubs and wheels .
The truck on 4 lipos just flat out rips...much more torque than the Collari 30 I had in it and pretty close if not just a couple mph below the top speed it had with the nitro.It will flip over on it's lid if 'm not careful with the throttle even with a 10-15 mph rolling start .I ran it hard today on the 4s 3700 pack for the better part of 15 minutes before I could notice any battery lag whatsoever.Was still hitting second gear hard and still hadn't set off the LVC.

I'm probably going to buy FD motor mounts and use either his 8ight conversion clutchbell or mod1 pinions (If I can find them in stock somewhere ) on my cen matrix conversion but going with a feigao 540 8XL from ultimate hobbies and probably a mamba max controller to save a little money over what a kit might cost.
