Glorious. :sneaky:

I was just informed that I won't be going home tonight, lol. I have to take a work trip this afternoon and I won't be getting back home until tomorrow afternoon.

I will certainly compare the pins tomorrow when I get back.

I might have a spare set kicking around thats not installed, Ill check tonight, if I do, Ill post the result HERE on this thread and PM Chris as well, if I dont respond back to this thread, do a visual check for me when u get back home, don't feel like pulling out a diff if I don't have to.

10-4 and I definitely don't blame you for not wanting to pull a diff. I think I have some LST pins sitting right on my work table from this weekend, if not I know I have a diff sitting there that I can bust in to for a looksy.

Yeah, just waiting on one more PM back from him, if he says he can have em made, then Ill just pull a diff this afternoon and measure them. The pins honestly are probably the only real weakpoint on the entire LST drivetrain. Ive gone through a few sets of pins on mine, but tired of having to buy the gears to get replacements.

Good plan, I will definitely buy a few sets to further bulletproof the drivetrain.

I am really interested to see how long these diffs will last before something gives way in them. I already know my rear ring and pinion is weak, it has a half-chipped tooth on the ring gear as it is so it's only a matter of time before it gives. Figure I'd get every last cent out of that ring and pinion before I replace it, lol.

I respect the power and the speed those BL setups have, but man, they sound like a sewing machine on its last leg. :lol: My friend did an LST BL conversion, he got real tired of the truck always trying to do backflips if he wasnt careful on the throttle. I might suggest you upgrade that LST2 to XXL status with XXL chassis rails, plates and center driveshafts, it will at least make the truck alot more stable and a bit less prone to the insta flips.

10 Gauge 06-17-2011 10:38 AM

I have definitely thought about an XXL conversion on it but I'm just not ready to give up my HCR titanium chassis plate. I realize it's a really weak ass reason to try and justify not going XXL but I honestly feel like my truck is "unique" with the HCR chassis due to the fact they can't be had any more and that they are super rare.

I think what I need to do is just stop driving it like an asshole and use some self-control, lol!

i was going to get a new nitro engine, but looks like i may try this.. does anyone know where to get the conversion kit?

Motor Mount & Single Speed Hub Conversion: http://www.tdracingrc.com/TD%20Product%20Line.htm

Battery Tray: (50x150) http://rc-monster.com/proddetail.php...MFPbatterytray

You can have your pick of receiver mounting options and ESC mounting options by fabbing up some plexiglass.

Very easy conversion and well worth it IMO.

shizcol 06-22-2011 05:56 PM

thanks man.. do u have any new vids for ur e lst? what engine are u using and what esc?
