Losi LST E-Conversion Kit

[Overdriven]

Mechanical brakes take some load off the esc and motor resulting in lower temps on both. Mechanical brakes also allows the use of esc's that don't have brakes like air and boat esc's. Some people also like the feel of mechanical brakes too.

How are the temps of your motor? An 11xl is not the most efficient motor out there and ditching the 2 speed and mechanical brakes will make it work harder raising temps. Ditching the 2 speed will make it easier to control wheelies though.

Edit: If you read the through this thread you will see the Losi kit fits up to 42mm motors. I found the Losi mount held heat in the motor since a 42mm motor won't contact the mount along the can so it can't act as a heatsink. Read through my other post regarding layout and gearing limitations.
