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.

All the screws in the standard car are pretty naff, the hex rounds easily so I changed them all for stainless hex heads



machined a piece of delrin as a lipo tray to stop any movement.



installed, nice!





drilled 2 more holes to screw the speedo down



just waiting on some shims to re-shim the diff and some proper wheel hex's then I can give it a blast!

Default Blast

Going to give the little beasty a try again this christmas So with that in mind I have spoken to fibre-lyte and asked them to make me a chassis but with holes for the lrp battery packs and a thinner batt strap. Also a hole for the spur gear resess. Then hopefully when all the LRP carbon towers and rear driveshafts hex's and other bits come It will get blinged up ready to roll again.
