The Capt's Brushless Lst

[coolhandcountry]

Welcome to the forum Captainbolic.
I like the lst. I been debating on geting me one.
It is nice to see you bashing it some.

Yeah, was it something that was pressed onto the clutch-bell or did it come seperated from it?

[neweuser]

I was also curious about that bell. didn't want to ask though, i was also curious how the metal on metal is going to wear?
Serum: it's allllll good! Still got love for ya! LOL

I'm sure they are using hardened steel, like what Mike uses on his pinions for use with steel spurs.

I believe the whole thing, including the stock clutch bell is put together by the people at FDM.
Looks quite neat, but I doubt you'll be able to change pinions that easy. Plus, these clutch bells are very heavy.

Yes, the weight, being so close to the fastest turning part of the car is a concern. 1oz extra on that motor is like 17oz at the wheels with a 17 to 1 ratio. (not saying it is 1 oz)

[neweuser]

i guess it's the same concept as brass on aluminum then. I think it's a neat idea. But yeah, the weight? Hmmm, lst's aren't all that heavy are they? I would think almost weight would more of an issue like in a maxx or something?

I see what you mean by weight now...sory, posted the same time!

read my post neweuser, and you know why weight so close to the motor is a bad thing.

[neweuser]

right, i just did after i posted..LOL, basically saying spinning something heavy is not a good thing?

You might want to put some foam under the ESC.

Knowing Fine Design, I'm not...

The line between 'working' and a 'good solution' is rather thin.

It's not something you want to depend your number 1 position in a race onto.

[captain harlock]

Funny Fine.
Abolic, if you need to modify the LST go to Mike, you'll never regret it. Trust me.

Maybe Chris Fine Drilled out hte center of the clutch bell or something.... I wans thinking of making an adpater for a clutchbell... that would be awesome.. and not too hard if you had the tools... But Very nice LST.... You got everything as a whole package from FineDesign?...

[captain harlock]

yeah, except for the charger.
