LSTeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeToo - 05.26.2009, 11:14 PM

Just got done with the first run on the LST2. Wow, I should have done this so much sooner.

First, the motor mount I ordered from The Dude is fantastic. Any retard with 1 for an IQ could put this thing on and set the gear mesh. I guess that explains why linc could do it!!!

As usual the part fit and finish is great.

Second, this dang truck is stout. It just feels more sturdy when driving it. I will say the thing also handles and jumps better than the revo. The only thing aftermarket in the suspension area is Integy shocks which I haven't decided if they are staying or not.

The gearing is not where I want it, 22/63 right now but I am getting the 66 spur and a 20t pinion when Mike gets them back in stock so I can tame it down a little. Should be sitting right at 50 mph on the CC 2200 kv motor.

BTW, setup is CC 2200, MMM, 6s Flightpower.

Using The Dude colleted pinion adapter, single speed spur adapter, and motor mount.

Tires are big joes on dish wheels. These balloon much less than my dirthawgs.

This rig was formerly owned by Twztd.

All in all I am very happy with this truck. The revo recently has been irritating me left and right over the past month so the LST2's timing was perfect. In the past several weeks I have broken two JD Carbon pushrods, 3 JD Carbon tie rods, and 1 stock tie rod. I also had all the front pivot balls pop out (problem fixed with platinum knuckles). The worst problem is that I haven't been driving it that hard. It is on the shelf now and won't be fixed until I stop being mad at it.

Hopefully the LST2 keeps on truckin!
