I bought the LST2 E Conversion from creamsodauk who had completed the conversion from nitro to electric Thread Here

Some more pictures on the LST2 E Conversion when I received it in this Thread Here

Backflip at the North London Bashers meet up

Every RC forum I had read which contained e conversions of the LST2 and Losi XXL "the dude" and his motor mount were mentioned along with castle motors and esc. Recommended to me by guys who bash on 5/6s in the USA, & they cant bend nor brake it. So my first purchase was from Tdracingrc

Motor Mounts

TDracing.com "the dudes" Motor Mount & M3 Swivel Plate. Solid ,Perfection

P1020459.jpg

The swivel plate

(as seen above)

The TDracing swivel plate allows for precise gear mesh setting.

With the Losi E Conversion motor mount you must loosen the entire mount just to adjust gear mesh & when adding different pinion. Time consuming & IMO not efficent

P1020460.jpg

Single Screw Lock Down

(pictured above & below)

The swivle plate slide's into the mount & once gear mesh has been adjusted all that is required is to use the single screw lock down.

P1020464.jpg

With the option of the M4 Swivel plate to fit the larger motors (castles 1717 for example)

TDracing.com was highly recommended to me on the US forums, and with the quality of the parts I've received I can see why.

Nice Chris, i'll highly recommend the Bad Ass Creations steering linkage, MUCH beefier than the stocker. Also, get the machined diff casings, will prevent any high speed blowouts!

Thanks for the comments & advice guys :good:

I've just seen that TDracingrc.com (motor mount / swivel plates / single speed hub / etc ) has a 20% SALE on Losi e conversion parts at the moment :o.

I couldnt recommend the parts and service I got from the dude enough. Parts delivered from USA within 9 days, & no extra postal costs ;)

Looking forward to seeing this come together. You got some nice little parts for it.

Cheers Carl, always enjoyed your brushless build threads & vid's :good:

This is going to be awesome. Great to see another brushless 1/8 Monster truck at NLB (if I ever turn up :P )

NLB has some of the best modded RC's I've seen so far..be good to see you down there:good:

That is AWESOME, what a fantastic spec list and the picture of all the bagged goodies looks BLING haha

Im so glad you got the truck, i had stopped and was happy with my conversion but this,,,,,,,, this is a whole diffrent level of big a$$ brushless rig builds

Your conversion was fantastic fella - no complaints at all..;) ..I just started to read more on the LST2 E-conversions done in the USA & blown away by the builds & parts used & just had to do it. You know how it goes, it aint broke but..lol :D...bits are shinny for now, but this is being built to bash ;)

Parts are still coming in slowly, but should be getting the build away soon wth the Fat Bear Chassis Strengthening Mod.

Looks like its gonna be abeast of a build... well worthy of nlb god status :P

Also waiting for 1 Losi Anolized shock body & the odd few bits :confused:
