LOSI LST XXL Conversion ideas

[jpoprock]

Oh, ok... yer right. I guess I didn't realize that blue diff cases were used in older Losi's. I always see the blue ones on eBay, complete with center shaft and pulled from an XXL. I think all the XXL diff's use blue cases and HD cups. But that doesn't mean that all blue cased diff's are from the XXL necessarily.

I got confused because there are so many chop shops on Ebay selling diffs! Many of the complete silver cased diff's are pulled from Aftershock/LST2/LST's, and they have the shorter center shafts, and no HD cup.

Thanks for clarifying!

So I have two sets of battery boxes now. I made a set of boxes that are a bit smaller, they allow for batteries that are 32 mm in thickness max. Perfect for most 3S and 2S packs. If I ever want to run two large 4S lipos in parallel for longer run times then I just put the large boxes on. I will trim that middle skid under the battery boxes so that it doesn't stick out the way it does now.

Other stuff came in today, the bearings for the Muggy steering, the Traxxas motor plate and motor mount. I thought of a simple way to support the back of the motor. It's not as pretty as the kit I posted earlier but it will work.



This set up should work well for steering, there is a lot of weight to the front. Once the conversion is done, I suspect that close to 60% of the weight will be to the front.

I think I'm finally done with these battery boxes.
