[TLR Tuned LMT Build]

The tart is wearing some lip stick 🤣🤣🤣

[Anyone else go shooting ?]

I bought this Webley MkVI a few weeks ago, great fun and oddly for a co2 replica it’s a .22 👍

Dunno yet 

[TLR Tuned LMT Build]

Not really, there is only a limited amount of suitable bodies I can find in the UK 😂

DMS have a few JC shells instock and they are all on offer 👍 

 

[Electronic feedback between rx & tx etc]

I’ve seen a few esc’s use a ferrite ring on the RX cable, that may be worth a try 👍

The Grandma is 11” wheelbase, needs to be 13” at a minimum ideally for a LMT 👍

Been working on the wiring, used the rx box I had bought for my crawler, trimmed all the random bits off the RX tray and fitted the Copperhead I had in my spares box 

 

 

 

Im going to add some carbon over the rx tray to getting it looking factory and I’m not sure the Copperhead will be staying, I fired it up and the servo managed to brown out the esc fan. I may end up direct powering the servo 

[Carbon sheet offcut]

Looking for a piece of carbon 59mm x 66mm, thickness isn’t too important 👍

Found this site, they make some awesome parts, I really like the steering link set up 😂

[Are MIP drivers worth the extra cash?]

I’ve got a little Bosch Pro 10.8v drill/driver and the clutch can be set really light 

[TLR Tuned LMT Build]

Proper 17mm hex’s, so much better/stronger than the m6 flange nuts and washers 

 

[TLR Tuned LMT Build]

17mm hex conversion arrived along with some faux beadlock rings, a deep reach 17mm nut wrench, RX and some shock pliers 

 

[Are MIP drivers worth the extra cash?]

For that price I think they are worth a punt 

[What did the postie bring you today?]

Nice little stash of parts arrived, the Jconcepts bits from Amain, arrived in 6 days using their cheap $2.99 shipping and a Dumbo RX and shock pliers from Aliexpress

MIP are really good, I’ve had a set in the past,  but ive using a set of these for a couple years and they are just as good, they have that issue like MIP that they fit too well and get stuck in the screw heads 😅

Found a much nicer battery tray

 

 

 

I will probably need to drill 2 new holes in the side plates, the TLR version has the stock mount holes drilled lower, but I’ll make it work 👍 

[TLR Tuned LMT Build]

Wheels mount 👍 

 

[TLR Tuned LMT Build]

Don’t think it was, just like the Roller version of the RTR

That looks amazing mate, typical classic AJ build! How much did this work out at for the kit?

Too much 🤣🤣🤣

 

About £600 all in, I sold a expensive air pistol I wasn’t using much to lighten the damage 😂

What kind of body goes with this as looking online the kit doesnt appear to come with 1?

What ever fits, there’s no hard and fast rules about what’s goes on a Monster Truck really 👍

[What did you do to your model today?]

Cracked on with the TLR LMT build 👍 

 

[TLR Tuned LMT Build]

I’m not a fan of the battery box or radio tray, so first job is find something different, the battery box just looks like a after thought to me and not very in keeping with a high end kit, the radio tray I’ll probably trim off all the excess parts and stick a thin sheet of carbon over the top…

 

I need to source a servo saver, I’ll probably go for the Vitavon one with a alloy steering link set up, 

 

 

Ive put a small order in at Amain’s for a set of JC beadlock rings and the JC 17mm hex conversion 

 

 

That’s about it for now, I need to top up the hobby fund asap 🤣🤣🤣

[TLR Tuned LMT Build]

Quick lowdown 

 

No issues with the kit what so ever, no missing screws, no faulty parts and the sway bars definitely don’t hit the chassis, I asked a Losi factory guy on FB if the kit had been updated and all he said was the QC was increased at the factory but no parts have been changed since the original release… Make of that what you will..

 

Only complaint is the manual can be a bit vague in places and the pictures can be hard to work out

[TLR Tuned LMT Build]

Basic chassis built 👍
