Cemetery, I should get my TrueRC packs in today (2 3S 8000mah) and will let you know what I think. I should be able to test them today or tomorrow...

sweet man, that will be awesome!

PROJECT STOPPED

Well I finally got my maxamps 5s lipos (2s+3s) and found out that the chassis is too flexible to handle this kind of power. I keep stripping spur gears with the center diff. I could just put back the original transmission, but what would be the fun in that?

I am going to convert my LSP again mainly because the drive train is really strong. (look for a build-up thread soon)

opinions?

There's no reason to stop the project because of such an itty-bitty little detail like chassis flex! About 80% of the fun of these things is finding ways to overcome obstacles!

What about shoring up the chassis with some metal supports?

well, the truck looks different now than it does in the pics here; i have connected the center diff to the front bulk and supported the back of the motor too. (you can see ion the pics) I think I could have Mike machine me a solid aluminum motor/center diff mount and that might solve the problem, but i don't want to sink more money in to this particular truck. I know that later on down the road it will need 1/8 scale diffs among other things, my LSP has 1/8 diffs and is just stronger IMO

Yeah, I can understand that. Although, it seems a shame to spend so much time/money on something to abandon it now...

I guess, the thing is I do not want to have to spend more money on it. Ehh, it was a project, time to move on to bigger and better.

The only thing I would possibly do to the LSP I am converting would be the Slipperential "V2" for truggys/buggys (when it becomes avialalbe, if it even does). All the electronics from my e-maxx will be going into my LSP.
