Losi LST2 XXL Hubs, Spur, Clutchbell, Motor Mount, St Servo(s)

[Gee]

I started buying parts to make a XXL almost a year ago it seems. Got distracted, shocks ended up on the Sav Xl, used the diffs in the G3R, bought a LST2, sold it, moved on, forgot my name, and somewhere along the line lost the track of time. Well I found the track and my house again with a box of XXL parts so off I go again....

I may flip this before completion but with what I have on hand now I will be using a mm/2200 setup on 6s.

I picked up the axles and some misc parts in the first round of auctions the other day and going in for the rest of the parts in round 2 of the auctions soon. I was hoping for some clarification on some stuff before I start bidding.

Is it just the hex in losi rims and thier hex hub that are 20mm? Are the axles/cvs standard 1/8th size where other 1/8th 17mm & 23mm hubs work on the axles?

Will I need to pick up the linkage/servo horns also. I would think that a single high torque servo would be fine. Or should I stick with a two servo steering setup?

Has Mike made a motor mount or is The Dudes still the one on the top of the list as far a buying one already made?

Is the Losi Spur and Slipper Clutch the best way (only way) to go for gearing the LST2?

The LST I had the brief encounter with earlier this year was just that brief. I can't even remember her name let alone how we ended up in the same bed but ..... It looks like the Losi 2 speed is external to the tranny. I never had much luck with a brushless when it kicks into second gear for long. How does the XXL hold up gear wise? Will I need to pick up a clutch bell and adapter to run it with the 2 speed tranny? ....or.... For go that pita and convert it to single speed right of the bat?

I am going for the lowest bid on a body but what do you think Blue or Red?

Thanks for your help again guys. Going to do some more research before I commit my beer money to anything but your inputs always make it easier to swallow.


In hind sight I should of split those question into seperate threads and been looking over my shoulder at 1000 posts. Ah hell you seen one post you've seen em all.
