lst2 bl conversion

[mickeymoose]

Hi I made it myself, I'm running mod1 gears 9XL with 18t pinion and 52t spur, I'm using an MGT spur/slipper, it's exactly like an E-Maxx slipper only mod1.

If you have the chassis designed on cad you could at least sell the file, I am sure many would pay for it. Or even better, make them yourself and sell them. I think basing it off the 3905 tranny would be best.

Again, it is a very impressive conversion to say the least.

Thanks for all the good words guys. The truck does work extremly well though, I personally think it's a better option than a Revo IMHO. I think you guys are convincing me to produce some of these, but make no mistake it is very time consuming pursuing things like this. I looked at the 3905 tranny, but I'm pretty sure it would not work for this application because the motor mount flares out right at the bottom of the tranny and it looked to me like it would interfere with the battery tray mount location. Thanks again for the compliments.

hopefully your get them into production soon

i got my mgt rr slipper and spur turning up soon 54 tooth
i have also been told that the lst 2 speed 2nd gear will fit the rr slipper hub. not sure how it would effect the gearing as this seems to be a fair bit bigger 60+ teeth
how would effect the temps of the motor esc and batterys as i am going to be useing the old emaxx transmision on the lst chassis

pinions i have to use are the 16/17/18/and 20 tooth

[lind5]

hi got a second hand emax chassis today so im gonna try mount that onto the top deck of the lst that should give me a base to put the emax transmision and some where to mount the lipos
at least i will be able get it together and then see about getting some kind of alloy chassis made made up to replace stock one whilst weighting for my mamba monster 2200 kv combo

well any way it seems every time i took it out some thing broke on it

You had a lot of weight on that revo with all the aluminum. That was probably a lot of your issue with breakage. When that much weight moves around at high speed in a truck that size, carnage gets worse. I went through this with my first to maxxes. Adding aluminum everywhere and trying to make it bullet proof, but the more I put on the more problems I had. My 3905 maxx is basically stock except for the BL system and radio and I don't have hardly any problems. If I break a part I replace it with a stock part and go on.

[lind5]

but thats my problem i always have added alloy parts on all my cars
i just like shiny bits
i guess i will have to try and hold off with the lst although its all ready got a couple of bits on
decided to try making my own chassis plate today its getting there looks quite good
although it is alot like mickeymoose's chassis
i just took the emaxx chassis and placed it over the std lst chassis and drew around them ..
i will try to post some pictures soon

[TexasSP]

It's hard, they do look pretty. I have just been through it several times and try to stay stock unless it's a forced upgrade.

[lind5]

ok well this is about as far as i can get without the esc hope you guys like it

Looking good lind5, can't wait for the test runs

one of them spare mamba max's you have wouldnt go a miss
i could try it with my 7xl on 4s
just to see how it runs
but you no me i do tend to cook esc
