Since the only time I have to run an R/C is either late at night or early in the morning, I decided I wanted something that I could run at any time and not piss off my neighbors or my community. After seeing Fasteddy's E-zilla rip it up at the West Coast Bash, and Robmob's awesome ST-R rip it up at the track, I figure why not have a combination of both. Something that is ready to run in 5 minutes, needs very little support equipment and also very fun to drive. I know the Hot Bodies LSP is not very popular here, but it is a cheap platform to get started. My goal is not to beat a nitro, just simply to have a fun project to do in my spare time and eventually have an end product that is both fun to drive and requires little maintenance.
So here we go. My Hot Bodies LSP roller that I got from Mr. T-Maxx. Yup I was the sucker that bought it. LOL
I ran into a deal on a Bomb Proof Products (BPP) brushless chassis conversion and jumped on it. Not the lightest looking thing but it is stiff and strong.
BPP shock towers and what looks to be a diff plate and steering rack brace.
New BPP center dogbones. These things are huge! I put a 1/8 scale buggy dogbone next to them for comparison.
To throw all the weight around, I will be running a Feigao C-7XL (2382kv) brushless motor and Quark 125b controller.
I plan on running dual 4000mah 4s lipo packs in parallel. They should give me some very long runtimes. Parts to convert the 14mm wheel hexes to 17mm have been ordered. I'm still deciding on a set of basher wheels/tires.
I'm going throw the BPP chassis into the ultrasonic cleaner at work this weekend to give it a good bath before I start any assembly.
