SmugR Posted January 27, 2010 Author Share Posted January 27, 2010 Just a quick revo update, have sorted out some bash shoes for it, may share these with the lst`s too as have 17mm hexes for those too. Both sets have been taped inside to reduce balooning if they unload. 1st set pl 0 offset truggy rims with hpi terra pinz 2nd set, losi claws on 1/2 offset pl truggy rims, stand as tall as lst2 atx 420`s, think they`ll be a good allround basher. XXXL is as it was, have got some work to do on a couple of trucks which are possibly leaving the flock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creamsodauk Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 revo will need some gearing tweaking to use those rims id have thought? look good tho for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmugR Posted January 30, 2010 Author Share Posted January 30, 2010 A quick monster fleet update, after a trip to a local ish skate park the bl lst is out of action until I can get hold of one of these http://tdracingrc.com/lstmotormountinfo.htm The home made mount made by the prev owner has stood up fine until I decided to use a 1/4 pipe to jump an 10ft odd metal fence onto tarmac ............... Bent big time on landing Also managed to bust 2 upper and 2 lower lst2 arms in 2 tanks!!! Thats good going as they are tough, may have to get another set of rpm`s on the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlcurtis83 Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 (edited) That's an awesome collection of MT's, would love an LST2 but that means I would have to get rid of my revo and that ain't happening. Keep us updated on the XXXL, looks like it's gonna be a real monster. EDIT, the XXXL looks great, nice job.

carlcurtis83 Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Would love to, but then I have to justify getting another model to the missus I could sell the hyper and put towards but the missus uses so don't think she would be too happy.

JayJ Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 (edited) Dude that XXXL looks awesome! Do you think it would be to heavy to be run as a leccy BL conversion? Can't help myself, haven't finished my current project and thinking of the next! Edited February 27, 2010 by JayJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't help myself, haven't finished my current project and thinking of the next! No I think it`d be awesome on bl power, the 55`s are actually slightly lighter than the stock atx`s so bar the slightly longer wheelbase its not truly much different to a stock lst2, plus the gearing changes in the xxl tranny will help move it.

JayJ Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Sounds good to me, thinking Tekin RX8 like my E-Revo! May PM you with some question closer to the time, if that's OK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah no probs, there has been a few bl bits floating about in the classifieds lately, had considered picking up something, but gonna stick with the nitro on this one for now. Still got to get the dude motor mount for the bl lst2 after destroying the home made one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmugR Posted March 24, 2010 Author Share Posted March 24, 2010 Well been a bit quiet on this thread for a bit, s a small update is in order..... Got some nice bits on the way from `the dude`...... so the bl lst should be 100% before long Have added `the dude` single speed hub to it already Got some extended 23mm hubs But they holes for the drive pins were just slightly too small All sorted Fitted Just happened to accidentally bid on another set of 55 series rims coutesy of jeenies rc, and got through customs clean too!!! Side view with front and rear fitted, they stick way out All done Have had the bl e revo out for its maiden run, and all who said I`d love it were totally right, its immense. Took the ramp out this eve with both bl trucks to a lit car park, the lst is now so wide it only just fits on the ramp (same one as linked in Jays thread). Wound up putting the ramp near the front of my old laguna estate, started by jumping the revo onto the bonnet, then driving over the top and dropping off the back, ended up clearing it totally, have a really pants film clip on my phone, need to get a 2nd to film it properly next time.

SmugR Posted March 27, 2010 Author Share Posted March 27, 2010 Went out this afternoon to a local carpark which has loads of big banks in it, sort of dividing it into different areas. Took the bl lst2, a nitro lst2 and the bl revo... Fired up the nitro first and within the first tank jumped over a bank, landed a bit awkwardly and clipped a front wheel into a low wall breaking the bell crank and bending the turnbuckle, 1 down 2 to go...... Then I ran the bl lst which went better until I started to forget the home made motor mount doesn`t like heavy landings from half tidy jumps, partcularly back and front flips.... 2 down 1 to go........... Last up was the e revo which was running great, have been fairly gentle with it up to now, but today I let it rip and bashed it good. It jumps really nicley and took its beating quite well. The wing got well wrenched and one of the fasteners pulled out, lost a load of body clips, when you flip it the rears almost always catch on the ground and rip out, broke a rear drive shaft. Also got it jammed under my car Have a little (not really that little) wrenching to do to put them all back in shape Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayJ Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Looks like you had fun, shame about the damage but that's RC for ya! Besides, any excuse to wrench is a good excuse. The text in your sig made me lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmugR Posted March 27, 2010 Author Share Posted March 27, 2010 The text in your sig made me lol! I think its pretty universal.............................. Had a bit of fun, revo is back together now, batts on charge, just the losi`s to do.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
