LOSI LST XXL Conversion ideas

Cool. Thanks guys. Neil... you have a typo.. you said to "lay the part you are copying on to the tap". Tap? Omg... a TAP is involved now? LOL!

I visit BYT sometimes, but I don't spend much time there. I hang out here and no where else really. I'll have to check out some of the beat downs you've been handing out. I like to think of it as "conditioning".

I reworked the HPI Flux motor mount that serves as a rear motor support on my XXL. I made it thinner and lighter and did some sanding to make it look purdier. I also installed one of my 8th scale CDs in the tranny. It has something like 250k in it so it is stiff but still unloads a bit. Wheelies are still there but are more controllable.



Last I stripped a wheel with the Losi 17 mm hexes I installed. I measured the size of the Losi hexes compared to Traxxas hexes I had and wasn't using.

Losi: 16.87 mm
Traxxas: 16.97 mm

The bigger size of the Traxxas hexes should result in a snugger fit in the wheels with less chance of stripping them so I modified them to fit.
