I like it!

Do you have the steering worked out yet?

yep but i dont have the servo(s) gunna run 2 :D, the cool thing is there was like no bump stear when i mocked it up with some junk servos :L:

Nice but it looks like it's going to hit close to 20 pounds.

It does look a little heavy. It does look sweet though. I like to see when you have it done.

Well done.Steering geometry is always tricky to get right.Was the zero bumpsteer good luck or good management?:L:

One thing though,do you have any caster/front kick up?it's hard to tell in the pic.

You don't see that many people try ground up projects like this.You are to be commended.

Just a suggestion,the upper arms may need to be more parallel to the lower arms.With the inner upper links so high you'll have increasing +ve camber as the suspension compresses.Maybe you could lower them to either side of the diff outdrive without too much alteration.

right now the way it is there is no to a very small amount of bump steer (trial and error is how i got it right :) ) the camber in dead perfect through the suspension movement, and its got a little bit of toe out at the top of its movement. the caster might be a problem, there is a little negative caster built in to the front just from the way the c-hubs and carriers go together but if I need more ill probably have to heat up and twist the front a arms but hopefully it will be just fine

i wish i had a scale so i could weigh it. but im in the the process of lightning it up

The LST hubs do have a bit of outboard caster so to speak but the LST bulkheads are also kicked up quite a bit.

Good luck with the project and keep us posted.It'll be good to see this beasty up and running.

If you have bathroom scale weigh yourself with and without the truck. It give you a close figure. May not be perfect.

squee, who gave you this information..?

It is inaccurate.

an L allready has got more torque than the lehner xl.. so it's really no compare to the XL......

if im not mistaken it was on this forum... it didnt sound quite right but after seeing the stump pulling torque of my lehner it wasnt hard to believe

It simple isn't true squee, the feigao L and XL both have got more torque than the basic xl. (on the same amount of cells)

Wow, very nice machine you have there. I would be careful about the weight, even though a 8XL on 6s has lots of torque there's quite a bit of truck to move. Don't be worried about the paint job, it beats mine.:o

I can say this. xl2000 with 18cells on an emaxx. The motor is no longer runnible. Had it geared to high. Fried like bacon in a pan. The 7xl pulled it better with higher gearing. What is $150 in the name of sceince though.
