Another Muggy Conversion

[lincpimp]

So I finally decided to convert the muggy. I picked it up about 6 months ago real cheap and just decided to do something to it. I had it partially pulled apart as I pirated a few parts for the 6x6 lst build.

I have stripped it completely down, all the way to the diff internals. Rebuild all 3 diffs, with new hd losi cups on the rear and center. Put 30k fluid in the rear and center diffs, and 50k in the front. Seems to be about right for the 40 series tires, same weights in the lst and it puts the power down well.

All bearings cleaned and relubed, all cvds rebuilt too. It currently has lst1 arms and hubs on it, as I was waiting on the lst2 stuff to arrive. I took the original arms and hubs off for the 6x6. I may just run it like this and see how it holds up. I bent the rear tierod on the aftershock the first time i ran it, so I do not have high hopes for the lst1 arms....

So I put it all back together with a rcm mount, and some sort of 49t spur (no idea where it came from, got it with the muggy). I had to clearance the chassis where the spur sits, and also had to clearance the top plate. With the c50 and this spur I can run a 15t pinion to get around 40mph. I also went thru the shocks, all I had to do was clean the outsides and fill the front shocks.

I modded the stock radio tray to hold a single servo. Pretty easy to do, I just cut the throttle servo mount portion off, and drilled a hole in it to attach to the center post that hold the tray on. So it now has 2 front posts, and the center post as the rear support. Used a jato turnbuckle with revo pushrod ends to make a link to the saver. Still need to do the steering mod and add bearings.

Power system is a hacker c50 11xl (1476kv) with a MMM on 6s lipo. Stole the battery tray out of the lst, and made some risers out of delrin to clear the raised edge of the chassis. Made an esc mount out of the delrin. All of the delrin mounts are held in with screws thru stock holes on the chassis. I have not drilled one hole in the chassis. I also took the router to the delrin risers and made channels in them to route the MMM signal wire to the rec. Did the same to the esc mount so that I could put a ziptie on to hold the esc down. First time I have seem this, keeps the wire out of the way, and safe too.

Almost finished, just need to put a deans plug on the esc and program it. I will wait to dye the delrin parts, as I would like to do everything in one batch.
