BL Mini LST - 06.24.2006, 12:22 PM

Hi, I am looking to start a new project, because I recently discovered that half the fun of this hobby for me was building the projects. After running my 1/8th scale, its almost too big for me. So i may be looking to sell that.

Now, my idea is to take a nice mini lst roller, with the necessary drivetrain upgrades and truggy like look (wing tires etc.) and transplant a Feigao 380C can motor or Lehner Basic motor into and run that off IB4200's. I'm wondering if this idea has any merit to it. I really don't like Mamba and all that because I have to use Lipo or these mini 2200 mah cells. I already have 24 sub-c cells so I don't want more batteries. I am wondering if the drivetrain can handle this though. I'm guessing I'd need at least a new motor mount, but I'm think that its not too complicated of a procedure. The thing I like about the mini idea is that when I have less invested, Its easier to have more fun running the car for me.

This is kind of verging into the 1/18th monster that MIke created using a tc3 and lehner basic, which has been at the back of my mind for a while
