Brushless LST Project

Thanks Mike.

I need 20x30cm 3mm carbon fibre for the extended lower deck which is how i've decided to mount the cells.

I've decided to go that way to lower the c of g and to get the weight distribution further back.(although further from the centre line)

I've found a piece in the UK for £75 for good quality all carbon laminate.If you know of any cheaper please let me know.

I also found graphite plate at Graphite store.com which was only around $50 but shipping was over $100 from the US.

I'm going to make a prototype in ally in the mean time before machining the carbon.

Mike, i haven't recieved the motor and controller yet which you had sent direct from BK, i was wondering if you could check if it was sent yet.i know you've been waiting for 9920s aswell.I'll e-mail you about that anyway with the details.I'm also after some maximizer diff cups for the LST.Thanks.

I am chasing down a couple BK orders actually, and should have them all squared away by tomorrow(they have been a little backed up apparently, as I have been waiting over a month now!).
I will look into the CF for you, and will pick up the maximizer lst diff cups for you as well.

Thanks Mike!

hello all!

After some runs I can say that this B-LST handle very well!
As fast as my "old" .27 picco !

I need to add some weight in the rear, it will be better for the jumps.
I will try with the yellow spring in the front.

Here is the pics of the plate:

now that is AWSOME!!! i have 2 LST's and wouldnt mind converting one to electric. how much would u charge for a chassis??? (if u wanna make another one) i would be highly interested in one. that is amazeing work man. nice job

How thick is that CF plate? I'd be worried about taco-ing it on a hard crash, heard of a few LST's doing it in stock form.

[Dafni]

Funny you should say that, Dabid. I thought about the very same. I daydreamed about doing an LST with selfmade alu plates. X braces would cure the taco effect!

here is the first vid:

damn man that is awsome... would u make another chassis? if so how much .. shoot me a pm with a price in mind.

lol.
I don't have enough time to make another chassis.

Try to do it yourself, it's very easy.

[nitro_freak1]

LOL naaah i dont have the tools to make it... ill just fabricate a mount to work.. good job on the truck .

[MetalMan]

Your LST looks great on the track! Too bad the track doesn't look as clean as your BL conversion!
