I have a brand new tranny if you want it (I think I paid about 40 for it).

We REALLY need a LOSI or LST/Muggy section on here. Seems that a majority of us are moving away from Traxxas based rigs now, and maybe its time this site reflects that a little more......

Same notion here as well. Picked up a LST roller. converting to XXL. Maybe transmission deletion however I want to keep the MT abilities that go along with a transmission. I'll be starting a thread as well once I get stuff in the mail.

So you are basically looking to make a G-Maxx style chassis for the LST? Sounds great! Looking to make a racer or speed truck? Or just a low COG basher?

A low CG basher would be what I am hoping for. I raced for a lot of years, off road, onroad, 1/10, 1/8, nitro and electric. Right now I really like the fun I have with MTs but since the MT race class is dead around here, I only bash. But the racer in me loves to bash with a good handling MT. When it handles like a racer, it is just more enjoyable to me.

I planned on making new plates out of CF so no problem there. There might be a couple more parts that I would like to replicate in CF. It might not make the truck stronger but it might make it a little lighter.

Thanks for all the replies, I will look at the Muggy steering as a good option to what I hope to do. I just need more funding for this project. Might take a while.
