Probably not, but oh what fun it would be, even for a short time

You got that right, it will almost wheely with the 15l in it...

Lincpimp, did you make those batteries trays yourself? If yes, from which material have you made those battery trays? Because I still don't know from which material I should make mine for my LST...

I use kydex, about 3mm thick. It is a plastic that is easy to fold with a heat gun and when it cools it is very strong. I made the tray in my lst out of it, and have made at least 6 other trays with great success. Plus it is lighter than al, and it can be made to protect the lipo well, by making the sides thesame height as the lipo, on all 4 sides. Have a look in my lst thread for a better example of a full 4 side one.

Man that is digging through the bottom of the box of old crap you gave up on. Airtonics fm reciever, unclamped feigao, old BK, no name bec, unwrapped 2100 maxamps !! sweeet ! That things going to be serious springtime fun, Da bucket ghetto hoochie mobile

You got it JJ! Getting back to fun brushless. I best that I do not have 400 bucks in the whole deal...

I ran it around for a while yesterday, dodging puddles. I did not have the rrom to get it up to speed, and the tires that are on it suck... I will say it drifts like crazy, and can take a beating...

I need to go to the local mall on a sunday morning early to run it in the larger open blacktop parking lot.

I did get about 20+mins of playing on it and the temps were great, and the lipo looks to be good for around 25-30mins... I may be able to gear it up a bit and try some 70+ mph speed runs. Need to dig up my foam tires for that...

So I have gone thru 2 sets of tires... They were old, but man can this bad boy destroy tires! And I have only put about 5 packs thru it!

So I geared it down a bit, to an 18t pinion, with the 20t it was wheelying at speed a bit much... The poor maxamps 2100 5s is having trouble keeping up, so I purchased some neu 2500 30c cells to make packs out of. That should allow me to push the gearing up and try some speed runs.

I need some new foam tires for it, my old ones off my other tc are all different diameters from drifting!!!

The 15l and 9920 are doing just fine, temps are just fine. Driveability is good too. Even geared for 65 it is doing just fine, and throttle control is great.

linc, how much tension do you have on the long belt? If you push down with a finger on the top, how much does it "sag"? I'm trying to set mine so tension is good but not too tight to reduce unnecessary drag.

I have tons of sag on that belt. I can easily get it on and off by hand too. Not sure how you set the tension, I guess by altering the height of the front transfer shaft...

I need new belts, but I intend to wear these out first!

Wow, I thought mine was loose with ~1/2" of sag! There's no way I can get it off without removing the end plate from a pulley.

Yeah, you adjust tension by shimming under the 4 screws holding down the front transfer shaft. Not very effective though because by the time you get the long belt right, the front is too tight. I'd rather see a simple spring-loaded idler riding on a bearing.

I was going to make one for it... I do need new belts, and the 2.5 and 3.3 use different pulleys and different belts too. I think my other belt is the wrong one (so is my luck). My front belt is just right with no shims, so I guess that I need a new center belt...

I may give the one I have a try...

at least when you hit a car tire at 50mph you won't lose much! HA!

even at that, this is a perfect example of a street BASHER> cant get any more ghetto fabbed thant his thing.

looks like a ton of fun man.

I stuck a stop sign post at about 50mph yesterday, backwards... The body looks a bit rough, but it is still in one piece!!! My rear body mount/shock tower is a bit creased, but still works like new, luckily it is an rpm part.

I hit a big full trash can yesterday and it almost fell over. I hit is so hard the center belt came off... I will say that this is the strongest TC I have ever bashed...

thats def saying something, i usually find the less race oriented the TC the stronger, bash away man.

where is the backflip?

The only difference between the 2.5 and 3.3 belts is the front and rear belts. The center is the same since it uses the same pulley size. The f/r small pulley went from 15T to 20T IIRC, so a larger belt is necessary.

You might want to just brace the chassis. I know that the belt had a ton of play on mine until I braced the chassis. If you push down on the center belt, you can actually see the chassis flexing.
