LST2e racer build thread
 

Hello,
I purchased a used LST2e on here and it was in excellent condition and added updated electronics and it was a beast on the track. I decided I want to take it to another level for this year.

So is started with the main chassis and transmission.
added the following: M3 center diff conversion, 3xle center diff, carbon main chassis, 3d printed battery tray for a shorty 4s or small 3s and spektrum s2680 servo

On to the rear end.
Added the following: carbon fiber top plate, JC 17mm lightened wheel nuts, rebuilt diff, TLE 8xe wing
Already on the truck: DPP (?) brace and mugen wing mount, muggy towers and shocks, TLR HD rear skid plate

waiting on the steering link before I rebuild the front end and do electronics

Looks really good!

While waiting for the steering link to come in, I decided to mount the electronics, Tekno extra hard 15t pinion and new receiver box

items used: HW XR8 SCT pro with XT 90 connector, Leopard motors 4274/2000kv motor and a modified RC8B3 radio box

next up is mounting the battery tray

3d printed battery tray has been mounted, we will see how it holds up. Found some Losi battery straps in my parts boxes.

Tried hide the wiring as much as possible. Might just rebuilt the front end to be ready when the final parts come in.

Honestly, that looks and sounds like you’re doing is an electric muggy… Do we search for team Losi muggy… And you may find some really cool ideas and insights

Didn’t want to do a complete muggy build as I might as well buy a truggy at that point. Wanted to keep the CoG a higher and keep a monster truck of sorts. It’s a build to run against my friends center diff racer maxx I built for him a few years ago. We have a mt race a few times during the summer. Should be fun when I done

Thank you very much!

Hey anybody got anu muggys or lst2 parts or aluminum parts or whole trucks for sale?

I have muggy towers and shock stand off new in pack

Started on the front end while waiting for the link to come in.

same as the rear with HD skid plate, carbon fiber bulkhead plates, muggy towers and shocks and jconcepts light weight wheel nuts.
also Rpm arms all the way around

hopefully get the link soon and bolt it all back together. Move on to the final wiring set up and finish with the tires and body. Hopefully get out to the track later this summer.

Finished the steering and bolted the front end on

I worked on the wire routing and decided to remove the leopard motor and ordered a Hobbywing v3 1900 kv motor for that full sensored feeling. I can use the combo in future projects if needed.

adding the transponder, spektrum sr215 receiver and bolting down the receiver box.
