Making a LST2 into a Truggy

[magman]

Sounds like a cool project..I almost bought a hoped up LST2 for just bashing..

I just didn't feel the need to spend another $ 500+ to get it rolling while my other rc's are collecting dust.

Did you run your gearing through the speed calculator? I fear a 45t spur will be too small and you may be geared for the moon. I'm going to use a 52t in my LST center diff truck.

Another sound reason why I'm doing this, starting this build on a paid for foundation and the investment will be well within reason compared to starting from scratch. I only had to order the shocks,which I may not now use and tires,body and a few incidentals. Everything needed I had stashed in the "Treasure Drawer".

If you do need lower gearing, just swap in the Muggy diffs.
