Almost finished another E-LST... (Pics) -

It's a stock LST truck with the center plate cut out to except a modded Emaxx Chassis. I had to sand down the chassis to allow the center CVD's to line up. I wasn't sure it was going to work but it turned out great. I also had to file down the center skid plate a little. But it fits like stock and I can use the brace still. I also used the battery holders from a left over gorillamaxx chassis. Tranny is an Emaxx gorillamaxx single speed conversion with a steel idler installed. I also need the gorilla motor mount to center the motor above the tranny. The drive cups from the Traxxas CVD's fit perfectly, part #5153. Motor is a XLT1 from Fine Design with HV heatsink.
I can't decide if I want to mount the radio on the chassis or reuse the battery/radio box from the LST. I wanted to check the weight also and was pleased that it wasn't over 14lbs. It weighed 13, 10oz. with 2 6000mah lipos but that was also adding the Proline rim and big Joe tire I had to use to rest it on. The big joe weighed 14oz. alone. So a 12lb 12oz truck this size ain't that bad. All I need now it a ESC to power this bad boy, any suggestions? I wish the MMM would hurry up and come out.
