TEAM LOSI LST official thread
#17
hello fellow LSTers,
bout time someone started an LST thread.
i am just a backyard basher for offroad, but race onroad. i love to take out the LST and give her a hiding and socialy race anyone who wants a fun day out.
i am very interested in the forward only kit. what is the actual proformance difference? is it really a great buy? i dont use reverse that often (usually forget i even have it....too long running nitro cars.lol)
the upgrades i hav made so far are the essentials like alloy diff housings, secondary gear cover, and the heavier "yelloe" springs.
i want to buy a nice set of tyres/rims for it but dont want to change the diameter (i like the stock gear ratio) so what do you guys recommend. im running on hard packed surface with a light sandy covering (quite slippery) proline badlands work really well on my buggy, is there an equal for the LST?
thanx guys, chat soon

then maybe check that nothing has come loose or broken in the centre gearbox.
goodluck

yeah i had the same prob, turned out the reverse servo was bad was letting
pop in and out of the foward gear. i did the foward only conversion but before
that i used a spring to keep the tension on the shift arm and that solved it!!!

I had a prob with the diffs as well........when I put the Collari in it anyways. I just got a killer deal on some Weld Racing rims and tires for the 23mm adapters from Pro_line and have the sway bars on order. I haven't bother with the springs yet but know I will be soon enough.

Nice Truck!
Hey stevenmichael,
Nice Truck. Looks like you are going with a single servo setup. My project is very near completion as well. By the time I get back from this business trip I should have a Hitec HSC-5955TG 333 waiting so I can complete it. I also opted for the Novarossi after the Mach disintegrated on the 3rd break in tank. I had a Sirio .30 from Tower but couldn't find a suitable pipe so I sent it back and picked up the NR. I also found a setup for a rotostart from Crispy Critters. The new RPM gear cover got installed this morning before I jumped on a plane for Portland. This is a sweet setup. Beats the heck out of the lexan part from Losi. I'll work on posting some shots here next week. Since I did extensive research in the forums when building it I plan to document the whole process at the "soon to be released" www.projectlst.com and include links to the best ideas I came across. I'm guessing I'll see you at the Hobbytown USA track in Madera in a couple of weeks. I hear there will be an all day event sometime this month.

have you raced out at the madera track yet? if so whats your name if you dont mind me asking?
im going with 2 5945 hitecs my other lst had 5645 and i worked fine but i want something a little faster so im going with these.
do you have a web site for the crispy critters starter? i found a way to make the mach 26 one work but it will require machine work.
i went to ti ni gear set from losi and havent had a problem i even took off the cover i made for it and have 3 races on it without so much as a mark on them.
i like the nr but it doesnt seem to be as much of a screamer as the mach for some reason the truck loves that mach.
you will have to come out next fri. we are having a play race day(we just redesigned the track today) and the following fri. we are starting a new points series(5 week)

there are a few free hosting sites around. www.rcpics.com seems to be popular.
just remember that most free hosting sites work on the policy that the uploaded images basically become their property also, and they can use them for their own purposes.

Kyosho shoes Part #-IFW52

The stock ones are junk, I broke 2 of the 3 springs before I had a gallon through it.

Madera Track
All the time. I have been running a Yellow Jeep T-maxx. I flipped it in practice last Friday and broke stuff so we went home early. I won't get home from Portland until late Friday so I'll miss that one.
Here is the link to the parts for the rotostart.
http://www.crispycrittershobbyshop.c...me.php?cat=455
You need the following
RBC1900-121 Back plate
87123 HPI 12/15 back plate
87118 HPI gear set
ofna 51322 pullstart axle
The HPI backplate will need a slight amount of filing inside the mounting holes. Other then that it works great.
