Default LRP Blast - brushless

Managed to pick up a cheap blast truck with the intention of replacing my rustler as main bashing vehicle.

So for starters, transplant everything into the blast, with a 3s lipo:







initial run was promissing, a lot of flexing from different components but overall very stable.

There was a lot of play in the rear hubs, they also used a small 5x8 bearing, I transplaned the rustler rear hub into the blast, had to mill a tiny bit off each side.



and make some hinge pins, E clip on one end, cut a thread on the other for a lock nut, larger 5 x 10 bearings on the left.





When the servo saver is tightened right up the bearing can fall out the bottom! so I made a tiny alloy collar to hold the bearing in place



on the top of the rack, trimmed the plastic and secred the screw with a nut instead.



Now the chassis, sent off to the good people at fibrelyte, I wanted the top deck a bit thinner and the battery strap a lot wider for the lipo.
