yes i have turned it around not for any real reason other than just to c if this will make any diffrence to the weight distribution
its not like its standard any more
if its no good its not much to turn it back again

well spotted

Doesn't that mean that the rear is toed out intead of in? Should be different to drive!

no mate the rear hubs havent been changed they have a little arrow to indicate what way they need to go

[lind5]

is there any way i can change the title to this thread as im prety much finnished and would like to change it rather than starting a new thread

i would like to no what people think of my conversion as i am proud of what i have done
cheers

shoot a pm to BrianG or metalman and they can change it for you.

hi guys i was wondering what you think to my conversion

i no its not finnished yet i just need a esc (mamba monster)

i will update the pics when it is totaly done and i have done some test runs
hopefully it will be a great basher

some feedback would be great

For a homemade job I give it 10 out of 10. It's a really nice piece of work and you should be very proud of it. One of the top LST conversions I have seen period.

very nice lind! keep us posted

ok got a mambamax on the way just to check out how the truck will run with the new chassis design
i will run it on 4s with the 7xl so im guessing that i need to run my ubec i will remove the red wire from the reciever plug do i need to change or turn off anything in the settings on the max

Nope. Just be sure to keep an eye on temps with that motor.

A buddy of mine has an lst and wants to go brushless and I'm tying to advise him but dont know where to begin. Maybe he could get a muggy chassis plate for his truck do you guy's think it will bolt right up?

The front and rear assemblies would bolt up, but you would still need the center diff. A couple other things are different too. The shocks and shock towers on the muggy are shorter. The diffs are different ratio (muggy 4.09, lst 3.3) which could cause a pain with gearing if switching to center diff with lst diffs F - R. In fact I have a LST2 i am working on with a muggy center diff and I am using the muggy F and R diffs.

there is quite a bit thats diffrent with the muggy i looked at mine last night i would have thought that it would be easier to to just get a motor mount and mikes pinion addapter
or even just build a new top chassis plate it was easier than i thought it would be but i do own a scroll saw a bench sander and a drill press

keep us posted mate.................

Great job lind5, looks a little familiar lol, mount the esc as far rearward as posible for the best weight distribution, I mounted mine to the rear shock tower. Setting the motor timing to the lowest setting seems to help with the temps. I'm running an 8XL and setting the timing to lowest seemed to help it stay pretty cool.
