Hi guys
Ok, so they've been done before and the UK is not a "truck" friendly region of the world, but here I have my Losi LST which I have converted to brushless, on a budget.
I say budget, as, except for the Tekno RC cell tray, all the parts have been made by me. Even the cell straps were modified to a custom length (ok, they were re-stitched by the nearly wife
)
Esc tray, motor mount, single speed hub and spacer, and cell tray riser were all cnc machined from 7062 (lifted from the scrap/offcut pallet
)
The only bit that still requires attention really is the shell, it's the same one the truck wore when in nitro guise when I was contested the Maxbashing monster truck series back in the day.
I'm using the Hobbywing 150amp speedo, a Leopard 2000kv motor, 4s, with stock plastic spur in stock size and 25T pinion.
Tests (ie: thrashing it) have been successful so far with about a dozen runs. Nothing has failed mechanically or electrically and I'm getting about 10 mins of runtime from the old Demon packs (pictured, 5000mah, 30c)
I'm pleased with it and I hope you guys like it too (those of you who like trucks, obviously, 'cos most don't )
