LOSI LST XXL Conversion ideas - RC-Monster Forums

I got news from Neutronics about my 1521 1Y. It seems the stator shorted so they will be producing a new stator for it and it is warrantied so no worries. I just need some patience to wait for the motor to come back.

The motor is finally on its way back from Neutronics. Although the work they did on the motor was covered by warranty, I paid a grand total of a little over $50 in shipping fees. Now I need Castle Creations to come out with their new Mamba HV ESC.

I took the LST out yesterday for the first time since the motor came back from Neutronics. It didn't take long for the motor to shred the rear diff... again. I know that a lot of people have very good results with LSTs and they swear by them. But it seems mine breaks a lot. The more I used it, the less impressed I am with it. Maybe 6S with that 1521 is just too much, 4S is not quite enough for a 14 pound truck. So I feel I should try 5S but that means buying some more lipos which I don't feel like doing. I'm seriously thinking of selling this thing as a roller with the 1521 in it, a set of 3S turnigys and most of all the parts I have for it.

losen your slipper!

my buddy was trashing front and rear diffs every run with a meduas 36-80-1600 on 5cell because the slipper was to tight

the truck now has 5 runs on it with the slipper set right running a 36-80-1100 on 12cell and the diffs are still fine
