Default RE: Electric LST Project: Pics.

Yeah, I'll shoot some more pics tommorow.

Remember, it's still a work in progress, but the three runs I made today confirm that it works pretty well. 2nd Gear really gets her rolling, enough to lift it up on 2 wheels around a corner and throw the tail out in loose terrain.
1st is great for climbing up rocks and in my case yard bricking (heh, only thing to test it on). I need to tighten the slipper a bit to make it more punchy overall, but I don't want to put to much stress on the Transmission, as the LST is a heavier vehicle.

Batteries are strapped in behind the rear shock tower right now. I want to mount them on either side of the motor, using velcro straps, but I haven't gotten to the hardware store yet.
