Now you know all the details it’s time for some overview shots of the LST 1.5…

End result without the body since the body is very (extremely actually) ugly !!



_____________________
Some other remarks...

- Perhaps everbody is wondering why this car is called the LST 1.5. Well it’s simple, it started out as a LST1 and was converted to a LST2 lateron, but since both are nitro cars it’s called LST 1.5
- I’ve already driven this car for 3 packs and it’s drivers superb! No problems so far (this is quite an accomplishment since I was unable to empty just 1 pack before my big upgrade).
- I’m sure everyone is wondering about the temperatures… It has stock gearing and I left the temp gun at home. But after one pack the BigMaxximum, the Quark and the LiPo were cold to the touch . The LiPo was ambient, the Big Maxximum was about 15 degrees warmer than ambient (so about 30-35 degrees aka between 85 and 95F), same for the Quark. Remember this are rough estimated made based on a hand-touch, the next time I will bring the tempgun and take some real measurements.
- So far I’m very pleased with the car, I’m especially proud of the home made motor mount and LiPo and ESC mount. Again anyone who can operate a CNC will laugh at this but I don’t give a f*ck . The most expensive tool I had was a Dremel so the outcome will not be like with a CNC machine. (Oh and I'm only 16 year old...)
– Power? No idea but I'll do some measurements with my Eagle Tree... If I push it I think it will be more than 3000Watts (4 HP)




To wrap this up I want to thank some people, because of them I achieved what I set out to do. (Most people will be from here, RC-Monster, and some from a Dutch forum)
- Lincpimp (RCM) – THE man that has helped me the most, he answered all my questions when I started with my build. He truly is a standup guy! (James, you probably don’t even remember me, as all these questions were asked back in 2008 but I really appreciated your help.)
- DarkSupra (MBF) – For infecting me with the 1:8 interest and answering all my noob questions.
- Serum (RCM and MBF) – Without his help my home made parts wouldn’t be of the quality they are now. Thanks Serum!
- Suicideneil (RCM) – For helping me with my electronic related questions and for this very informative write-ups which helped me a lot. (Look at his signature)
- Bondonutz (RCM) – For helping me with the LST1 to LST2 upgrade, this was little but very useful information for me.
- Nard Cox (RCM and MBF) – For comming up with the name of my car and for annoying the crap out of me for during this build.

Thanks you guys!


A movie will come later .. let me know what you think of my ride!





Also another BIG thanks to Nard Cox for translating this to English as my "16 year old school English" isn't that good.

Thank you I'm very pleased with this conversion myself, I didn't have to drill any extra holes and it's very robust.

Hopefully the weather will be better soon, as there was lots of rain today so I couldn't make a vid...
