lst2 bl conversion

[lind5]

ok got a mambamax on the way just to check out how the truck will run with the new chassis design
i will run it on 4s with the 7xl so im guessing that i need to run my ubec i will remove the red wire from the reciever plug do i need to change or turn off anything in the settings on the max

Nope. Just be sure to keep an eye on temps with that motor.

A buddy of mine has an lst and wants to go brushless and I'm tying to advise him but dont know where to begin. Maybe he could get a muggy chassis plate for his truck do you guy's think it will bolt right up?

Great job lind5, looks a little familiar lol, mount the esc as far rearward as posible for the best weight distribution, I mounted mine to the rear shock tower. Setting the motor timing to the lowest setting seems to help with the temps. I'm running an 8XL and setting the timing to lowest seemed to help it stay pretty cool.

The front and rear assemblies would bolt up, but you would still need the center diff. A couple other things are different too. The shocks and shock towers on the muggy are shorter. The diffs are different ratio (muggy 4.09, lst 3.3) which could cause a pain with gearing if switching to center diff with lst diffs F - R. In fact I have a LST2 i am working on with a muggy center diff and I am using the muggy F and R diffs.

Ok I will look into it. I might order sum muggy instructions and see what can be done. Also I could get some muggy diffs off ebay. and the taller towers might work ok.

You can download the manual from Losi. You could probably get by with the shocks and towers, but the diffs would make gearing choices tough.

I really don't know what the top speed is, the calc. says in the low 30's (mph). I run with a bunch of guy's that have nitro revo's, mosly 3.3's, and they get me by just a little on a long straight, but I run them over coming out of the corners. Gotta love the torque of brushless power.

there is quite a bit thats diffrent with the muggy i looked at mine last night i would have thought that it would be easier to to just get a motor mount and mikes pinion addapter
or even just build a new top chassis plate it was easier than i thought it would be but i do own a scroll saw a bench sander and a drill press

keep us posted mate.................
