Some Q's on lst2 conversion

[Bondonutz]

I find out when I cross that bridge, I hope to start on that after I make a few much needed repairs on a few other trucks. Maybe in a couple weeks ?

I had a quick look at Brian's calc. The pinion would need to be much smaller, 11-12t.

Motor above the diff works well. CD mounted to custom bottom plate, fits right up in the tranny hole, slight filing may be needed around the outdrive cups. Gearing would be quite limited with stock F/R diffs, which is why I will be using Muggy diff gears to give a little more choices. I will also be using a 48 - 50t spur (12/46 shown) to give further gearing options, although 11/46 fits current configuration.

^That schitt is CLEAN bdebde^

Center diff/center spur FTW

Are the muggy diffs a straight swap bdebde?

muggy diff cases are the same as Lst diffs,muggys have 43/11 crown and pinion ,you may want to try Sportwerks Mayhem Turmoil diffs they also are a direct fit and have 43/13 crown and pinion.

[Bondonutz]

Looks interesting, I feel a little inspiration.

Yes muggy diffs are a drop in to the lst2 cases, Sportwerks are as well; and you can use Mayhem ST TiNi gears for bulletproof muggy ratio. Running that in my muggy.

[pinkpanda3310]

I just saw a mayhem 45t ring gear, will that fit in the lst diff case? Also with the pinion, does it need to be matched with the ring gear or can I just swap the pinion 11 to 12 to 13?

[bdebde]

You will need the 45t ring gear and the 11t pinion to match it, and they will fit right in the LST2 cases

I'm doing the same thing with my LST. One regular LST and one LST XXL driveshaft seem to give the right length for a center diff in an LST. It almost falls together!!

Coolest setup I've seen so far....

[pinkpanda3310]

That's the set up Bondonutz was thinking of. Looking at it now, I would like to see how he mounts the batteries and I notice he has only one steering servo, I would like to know how that works too. Maybe it's with a muggy assembly

It does look neat cutting out half the top chassis but

[Bondonutz]

Single servo on the LST is easy and works very well.

[jzemaxx]

I run a single servo as well....just like above with a JR8711

I want to do this but one question, why no servo saver?
