Converted Losi Gas to Arrma BLX200

Nice cup holder @Jlolley. Other than gaining the cup holder, why did you ditch the gas engine?

Nice!
Now you just need to install a robotic front arm to open the fridge and load it up for you!

I like the idea of the gas powered vehicles but you just can't beat the low down torque you get from electric.

Is it just the picture or are those shocks HUGE?

Shocks are huge and arm is coming. I changed to electric because since I have gotten into 1/8 brushless I found myself not using the gas as it was more of a chore to operate, It was almost a planned forced activity. I enjoyed the sound and smell, but was underwhelmed by performance when compared to electric. I have now sold all combustion motored rcs and have only 1/8 brushless ones 2 Arrma 2 hobao and the Losi

What is needed to do a conversion such as this? I have XXX-NT haven't run in years but maybe with brushless could bring back to life.

I used the kit.....But motor mount is the main thing needed. You may or may not use your existing transmission set up. Example, the Lst was a 2 speed. The kit came with the parts needed to convert to single speed, including Diff case without mechanical disk brakes, and proper spur and pinion(s). Battery box/straps. The kit comes with a an electric top plate so that all the oem Losi stuff fits and it is as an Lst Xxl2 E. There are aftermarket parts from other manufactures. Motor and esc.

I am so glad I switched it over. So much more fun to drive in my opinion.

Thanks for the info. Is this kit offered by Losi? Where do you find these conversion kits?

Yes... It is by Losi. It goes for $100 on ebay or Horizon Hobbies. You can piece one together, but I don't think you'll save anything. One thing. The Losi motor mount is limited in pinion size. There are others that allow for more selection. You may get by with motor mount and battery holder. Link to Horizon
