JayJ Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Well my LST2 is still off the road atm, the perils of owning a Baja I suppose. lol Having said that my LST2 will be back on the road probably after Christmas but it'll be slightly greener, yup a BL converted LST2 and it's all Chris's fault!

My LST2..... has turned into a Gibson Les Paul lol It's gonna be one fine looking brushless / solid built LST2 Jay ...guessing 6S? You got to do a build thread, LSTForums.com is up for sale (no access to all those build threads!) and most guys moved over to Losiforums.net now.

bodgemonkey Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Forum is still working fine for me? Gonna talk with 2Dmax on Facebook and see what's happening, Ahmet confused. My LST is still needing some body posts and shock stabdoffs to get her running. Dads lst running good, RWD with FOC and just fitted a HB .26 into it, wheelie fun! Keep on trucking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayJ Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Ahmet's right, the LST Forums are back up but they have definitely been down the last week or so as I too have been trying to get on there!?! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Swyped from a distant star, the other side of the Galaxy on my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baja 5b Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 (edited) Got an e-lst xxl if that counts. excellent trucks Old pick but it still looks the same 3674mm motor nothing huge but still feels like the most perky rc car i have.

Scozwinker Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Well my losi xxl was rubbish, had a few good runs, then broke 2 pull starters fairly rapidly, the second time was the second time i pulled it making sure i was extremely careful. Thats my first annoyance then the car decided to not work, wouldn't change into gear and just revved. Took it to my local hobby shop and they didn't even know what was going on so they have bought some parts for it including inner parts for the engine ( ? ) and then a new fuel tank (?!) I have no idea whats going on but i just want it back, it was so fun to use. Guess i got a complete lemon! Unfair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodgemonkey Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 That multi combo pullstart rotostarter on the xxl is supposed to be tat. Get the rotostarter cover from an LST2 and fit that on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtokez Posted December 20, 2011 Author Share Posted December 20, 2011 mine broke first time i tried it lol, never bothered to replace it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Doktor Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 could anyone of you please weigh your LST shocks? 4 with oil of course, either stock or alu. I am thinking of using them in my savage but it already has LST ATX wheels/tires and is getting a bit fat ( 6,5kg RTR now) and I wouldnt like to overweight it too much if these shocks are as heavy as they look. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoFoHo Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Hi all. Kinda quiet round here!? Anybody else, other than me or Atom rocking the new LRP .32 engine in your LST? Or has everybody either switched to leccy, or are no longer an LST owner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayJ Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 I've still got my LST2, it's "E" converted mind but I'm missing Nitro so will be converting it back at some point. Before converting it I had intended on putting an LRP ZR .30 Spec 2 in but then LRP released the ZR .32 so I was going with that but then had the chance at a well priced Castle 1717, MMM, mounts and stuff so went with those. Will put the conversion kit up for sale at some point and get the .32, sooner rather that later hopefully...

MoFoHo Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Cool, let us know how you get on. I think the LRP.32 may come to be a popular engine choice for the big monster trucks. Was hoping to run a few more tanks in today, but the weather has been pretty awful this afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoFoHo Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 One thing that became pretty apparent to me yesterday: I think I need some new servos! The brakes (despite running twin discs)are getting pretty lousy, as is the steering. Any recommendations for new steering and throttle/brake servos? I've heard some mentions of a BAC steering mod.Could anyone please enlighten me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayJ Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 The best steering servo's are Hitec HS-7955TG's but at about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoFoHo Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Thanks for the reply there. Cant maybe stump up that kind of cash, but will look into some Hi-tec servos... Are the Hitec servos a straight swap? ie are the servo splines the same as the stock servos? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFS666 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Random question but can I be added to the list with my Losi Muggy even thought it's a hybrid monster truck. It does share the same complete front and rear and as the LST2 and i think it shares around half the components in total! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyP Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 One thing that became pretty apparent to me yesterday the brakes are getting pretty lousy Really? Mine used to do front flips on the stock setup. I went down to a single disc setup. Think you need to look at your throttle linkage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayJ Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Yeah that's a pretty good call from Danny, I had my brakes turned right down because of front flips. The LST serieses linkage gives some great adjustability so check there first. Also forgot this on my last post but the BAC link, it replaces the stock link and is stronger. It is also longer so gives the LST a tighter turning radius and this also saves your servo's because you can turn down the endpoints. For the few dollars they cost, a worth while mod.

MoFoHo Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Thanks guys. Checked my linkages, there was an 1/8" gap between the servo horn and the spring which butts up against the linkage end stop. So I removed that gap by moving the end stop and I've gained a little more brakes. My EPAs are at 100% on brakes though, so the servo has nothing more to give. I may look at stronger servos sometime in the future. I'm running all stock servos still. What servos can just be dropped in? The Hitec ones? I'm just concerned about splines on servo horns mating that's all. Especially the steering servos. Speaking of steering servos (again!), could you possibly link me to the parts for the BAC linkage mod? Many thanks if you can. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayJ Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Glad you got the braking sorted, as my LST2 is "E" converted and I'd completely forgot about linkages so Danny deserves the credit for that one. The BAC steering link, link here (no pun intended)... http://www.overdriverc.com/proddetail.php?prod=BAC002-Bad-Ass-Creations-Steering-Link-Ver.-2.0-%2B3%2F16-extra-heavy-duty-for-LST-2-XXL-Aftershock-Raminator-Mega-Baja&cat=171 Easy to fit, full instructions included. You'll need a 1/8" drill bit to bore out the steering bell cranks because this link is thicker than stock, easy. As for the Hitec servo's, unfortunately they are not a direct replacement. Firstly it's quite a tight fit, you may need to bore out the hole in the chassis a little plus the servo splines are different. If you want to fit Hitec then you can use these servo savers... http://www.overdriverc.com/proddetail.php?prod=ASC25166-Team-Associated-Servo-Saver-Hitec&cat=171 Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
