Lookin Good linc! What are your thoughts on an outrunner(s) In place of the transmisison. Would be a one-of-a-kind(more so) setup.

Well, no slipper can be easily adapted, plus the size motor I would need would create alot of torque twist. And I want the high/low option that the lst tranny offers. I generally prefer inrunners on this kind of setup, plus I already have everything to do my intended setup.

ah, well wheres the rest of the pictures :)

I should have some more snaps soon. I plan to make the rear chassis extension parts this week, and should have it all together soon after that. Just need another pair of 23mm hubs for it.

does it run 8mm stub shafts?

Yep, seems like the cen 23mm hubs are the cheapest way to go...

I may have a few Off of my matrix. Pm me

Made a little progress. Made the top support, both side fillers and the center and rear skids.

Pics show it mocked up with the moab tires. Need another pair of 23mm hexes and I can put the front wheels on. Still need to rebuild the front diff and swap the lst1 arms and hubs for lst2 parts. Also need to pick up another pair of aftershock shocks (running 4 of those in the rear to lose a little weight).

Thinking I may put the motor in front of the tranny, and the battery behind it. Still need to make the new center chassis plate, and the single servo will interfere with battery mounting in the front.

I also need to dye the green plastic side fillers/braces black, they look kinda funky in green (material was free, so I could not complain!). And i need to fab up a motor mount... Still plenty to do with this project...

looking good

I have tool envy...

Thanks Harold... The end is near, just need to make some more parts!

The bandsaw was 100 bucks, and the smaller drill press was about 125. The larger press in the back was a harbor freight special. Lots of power, but the bearings wore out fast... I guess I could change them, but it was a 60 dollar press...

I would recommend a bandsaw to anyone, I usually use it to cut plastic, but it will cut 1/8 al like butter. Better models are available, but it was a gift, and I have easily got my money out of it!!!

Spend some money on some tools Chris, you will not regret it!

Looks good..look forward to seeing it done

You and me both...

One of those projects that takes A LOT longer than expected....I can relate

Very nice. Those beadlocks look familiar. :)
