I don't know why, but I just love that yellow body, lol. Your set up is really nice. It seems a lot of people are converting the lsp. How do you like it so far? Did Mike make the motor mount for you?

Have fun with it.

Nice man!
That's an RC-monster motorplate, correct?

Nice cemetary! One thing i forsee is when you jump it the zip ties holding the esc will snap.

To answer ***RC***'s and Rene's question, Mike did machine it for him. Looks pretty nice!

Thanks! The LSP is a great truck, I've had it for over a year (mostly nitro though:010:) and I have only broken a bumper and a rear axle(thats why there's the 17mm conversion on there). I designed the motor plate and Mike machined it for me.

You are probably right, its just temporary until I make a mount/housing for it.

Thanks again for the kind words!

*EDIT* There will possibly be outside pics and a vid today! Maybe at the track too, if I can get up there!

How is the weight balance on your truggy? Mine is gonna be perfect now since i got the EVo 3700 cells which are 380 grams in 4s form, they weight just as much as my 1950 so its perfectly balanced:) Thanks.

It's not bad at all, could be better though. Its like when you had your Maxamps 8Ah lipos in your LSP. (I think my TrueRc's are lighter though at 680g rather than maxamps 725g) It jumps fine and steers straight, so I have no complaints.

Sounds good. Cant wait for a vid!:)

I went to the track today and it was great! I was the biggest hit there too! One guy there had a mugen mbx5t, and we got talking, I told him that I had my BL LSP with me. He actually knew about Neu motors, Quarks and all that; and how fast brushless is. He actually pulled his mbx5t off the track because he didn't want to look slow! Every one was blown away with the power; when I was showing off and nailed the throttle down the straight, I broke a dogbone! It was a really good day. The track was muddy though; the LSP weighed about 20lbs with all the mud!

You need a muddy pic to go next to the pics above :D

Sounds great cemetary. Now we need the pictures... and of course video if you have any. :027:

[Sylvester]

Nice cemetary!

What dogbone did you break, the rears i assume since every other driveshaft is a CVD on the lsp..

Well, I have the savage 17mm conversion, which has dogbones all around. I had to use the read dogbones up front and savage ones in the back; they were a little short so I think that contributed to the breakage.

You should try the 8mm axle conversion with 23mm daces.. they dont look like they will EVER break.. Im surprised you havent broken a C-hub yet..

Get some pics!:)
