I figured I'd give the XLT1 a try since that's what's in FineDesign's LST2. It got good reviews from RC Car Action. Actually 13lbs. 10oz is with the extra big joe tire w/rim centering the truck on the scale.
It probably weighs about 12lb 11oz. As for the over the tranny motor mount, nobody seems to make one. i was looking for something like this:
I guess I can make one. I'll try and fab something up this weekend.
That motor mount is the original Gmaxx motor mount. They dont make them any more but send Mike a email. He might still have one sitting around somewhere. Inly problem you would have ismounting it to the lst chassis. It is specifically designed to mount to the rails on a gmaxx chassis.
Another option might be the new emaxx transmision when it is released. It has a optional singgle motor mount the puts the motor abouve the tranny on center.
I can't decide if its more fun
to make it...
or break it...
