LOSI LST XXL Conversion ideas

[mistercrash]

Hmmm... After a 40 minute run with my 3S 5800 mah lipos, the temps were lipos: 120 F, ESC: 135 F and motor: 200 F

I was not happy that my beloved NEU 1521 got up to 200 degrees. I am presently geared with a 54 tooth spur and a 23 tooth RCM pinion. I was running MT Crime Fighters which are a lot smaller then the Losi LST wheels and tires. I also noticed after the run that there was a rock wedged between the rear tranny output CVD and the chassis top plate. This might have contributed to something but I think that I'm still geared too low. I can't go smaller on the spur so I just ordered three new RCM pinions. 24, 25 and 26 tooth. I hope I can find the correct gearing with those. It was an extremely hot and humid day with no wind and I ran the truck very hard on sand and gravel jumping a 5 foot gravel hill that was dumped in an empty lot yesterday near my house. I ran non stop for the whole lipo cycle, maybe I should give this truck a break from time to time
