grafster 9 Posted March 13, 2015 Finished the electric conversion on my Losi LST2. Never got on with nitro so it's been sat in the shed for years since I got it cheap on eBay. Pretty much finished anyway, I still want to waterproof the receiver somehow and it only seems to be front wheel drive at the moment. I'm wondering if the former owner did it intentionally, or botched the forward only conversion, but I have a Jiffy bag full of gears that I may need to shove back in the transmission somewhere, but that's a job for another day. It runs for now, at least (and at a reasonable pace after I put a second 2S lipo in it).. . (lunchbox included for scale, and to make up for the non-Tamiya content) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Axeboy 297 Posted March 14, 2015 Made a start on the brat. Never really knew much about it, always seen it as overpriced.. but I was wrong. 2 bodies, one a decent hardbody. Some bearings with the kit as well as some blue bling (1 bit!) and a little bit of carbon plate too. Loads of metal parts and a design I have not built yet so its all good. Enjoying it so far. Might do a hilux colour combo on the hardbody and keep the Poly as a spare. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

XV Pilot 1936 Posted March 14, 2015 Took my youngest nephew out to a nearby parking lot to drive his buggy. His control is improving - not race grade yet by any stretch, but collisions are becoming a lot less regular. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
z00ter 392 Posted March 14, 2015 Almost there with the Avante Black build .... 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grastens 2795 Posted March 14, 2015 The build looks great, although I admit at this stage the DF-03 wheels look a little clumsy on the chassis. It will no doubt look better once the car is painted up! I checked in with DHL on my latest delivery... What a wait this will be! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wez-li 1790 Posted March 14, 2015 Looks nice Zooter, but I have to agree with Grastens here, those DF03 wheels almost make it look like a vajra in those pics! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChrisRx718 4470 Posted March 14, 2015 Today I boarded my loft. It's not Rc related but it means I can finally get to all my rc stuff. The loft boarding is not something I want to repeat - but it is quite rewarding once finished - and it shut her indoors up. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
