Sweet, its like LST + a bit of flux & revo thrown in = superLST. Cant wait for vids, sounds like a great machine to drive.

Very, very nice. Add me to the waiting for videos, list .

Good. God. What a build! Amazing job MC. I can't believe you cut this by hand... on router table. You must go VERY slow. All the edges look great and everything seems nice and even!! Great job!!!

Language barrier! I don't get this one. I'm French remember? You'll have to explain this one in detail for me to understand

Those pins under the sun gear/the out drive pin, they are the weakest link of the XXL diff. I've read where a guy on the LST forum uses colbolt drill bits and they have yet to break, but now he's breaking gears.
I'll rather replace the pin than mess with the gear pieces and chunks that get all m ixed up in the fluid ?

I used to run heavy wt diff fluid but I've dropped down to 15K and i haven't broken a pin in a while now.

It's not the pin that broke, it's the small shaft of the outdrive that the pin goes through that broke. But like you said, better that than the gears themselves which can in turn damage the diff case and mess a big mess inside the diff. With the power of brushless, there has to be weak links here and there on inexpensive parts to protect the rest.

I gotta movie. It's 51 mg. I don't know if my Photobucket account allows large files like that but I'll try uploading it and also on Youtube. Hope it works.

I have my own webserver, so if you want, you can send it to me and I will upload and host it.

Thanks but I think I got it to work.

I love the beginning

But, it looks so 'right' that you should sell the design to Losi

Definately handles well like you said too.

EDIT: cool as a cucumber = it ( the electronics ) run nice and cool ( since cucumbers are kept in a fridge normally... )

Looks great MC! Last time I had a rig that handled like that on pavement was a hopped up Stampede - long ago traded away.

Nice blend of monster truck clearance and truggy handling. Very nice

mistercrash · 05.17.2010, 11:32 AM

Thanks guys. I liked building this truck and I just love to use it.

Thanks Neil for the cool as a cucumber explanation. We say it differently in the French part of Canada where I come from. Translation would be: Cool as penguin poop.

Not sure we get too much penguin poop around here or in England...
