- This is a custom build Losi LMT race truck that I'm getting ready for some upcoming races. I designed all the parts, made some of them and had some parts made by Shapeways. This is the first of two trucks that I'm building.

5 whole minutes! 😂😂😂😂 I though 45 minutes by the intro.
Amazing! I cant believe how much work you put into your LMT. What a great setup. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Another great custom build! Always killing it, with your builds.
Sweet rig. That chassis looks great!😎
Amazing rig. Nice work!
Quality work
Super build.
Very nice as usual. I changed the X rings on the stock shocks and as your video suggests it made a huge difference. I did go up on the shock fluid as you said you could. I also used a battery tray from one of your original chassis that had thin wall. Tekin HD motor with Castle Mamba X ESC. My son Chris won the RCMTC freestyle event last year with the LMT. Hope you will come to this years event in October.
Beautiful truck Kevin with a lot of upgrade part :)
Slick
Sick build! Thanks for the breakdown. I didn't see that servo mount on your store. I'd happily buy one if you made the available.
The servo mount is custom made for my build. It's a combination of carbon fiber and a TLR aluminum mount.
you really need to create and sell your own brand truck!!! what a machine it would be!! great job.
Glad you like the truck. Technically the Tamiya TXT-1 and Losi LMT are. I did take some time to design, have parts made and sold them but it's a lot of work for little pay and you can't please everyone. There are people out there that loved what I produced and there are some that complain about what they bought. In the end it's just not worth the time and effort so it's best to leave it up to companies like Losi and Tamiya to hear what I have to say, maybe actually do everything I say and come out with a vehicle that is top notch.
@@hetmanskihobbies i appreciate the reply. i've been following your rc career since i was a boy...49 now, reading rc car action ,and eagerly awaiting the next readers rides!!! great job, keep up the amazing work! saving up for an lmt myself at this time. cannot wait to bash it! Thanks again for your hard work and innovation in the hobby.
Great Video I'd like to get you on the podcast to talk Rc Racing History, Rc magazines Monster Trucks and more please if thats popssible. I look forward to more of your videos as well.
Let's make it happen.
Wow! Just wow!
Do you plan to sell any of the chassis parts you designed?
I would like to but finding someone to mass produce parts is difficult. I may do something in the future.
What are those washer looking thing on the screws?
They’re decorative aluminum washers.
Thank you for sharing! I'm late for the party... would you please explain why you went with lower weight fluid in the center and rear diff than stock?
It was something I was trying out. A lighter fluid in the center diff will allow the truck to turn better. I tone the power down when it comes to racing so I figured the diff wouldn't bleed power to the front axle because of that. Turns out that the truck didn't like the lighter fluid and bleed too much power to the front axle. After several races and adjustments, I found that 1 million weight in the center diff is best.
@@hetmanskihobbies does the rear diff still have lighter fluid than the front? I thought you’d want lighter fluid in the front to let it slip a little than lock it to turn better?
@@galkawarrior The rear still has 50k but I went to 200k in the front. The thicker front fluid reduces off power steering and helps reduce the diffing out that you see in shaft driven vehicles. Another thing I found while racing the truck was that it has way too much off power steering for my driving style so the reduction is a good thing. When the diff bleeds power in the front axle, it goes to the tire with the least grip and that will cause the truck to pull to that side when accelerating.
@@hetmanskihobbies thank you, it makes sense for what you’re doing. It makes it more front wheel drive then right? And reduces the wheelie and torque twist. I don’t have an LMT, yet, but I’m trying to get ideas on what to do with my Tamiya Juggernaut. 😅
@@galkawarrior No, a center diff with thicker fluid provides more equal power to the front and rear axles. It also increases the truck's ability to wheelie and torque twist. You can reduce the wheelie tendency by lowering the rear upper link and using the speed control/radios settings to tone the power down. You can reduce the torque twist by stiffening the sway bar.
Awesome rig great video as always 👍 Are you still running stock axles?
Yep
@@hetmanskihobbies Awesome 👍
Do you do custom builds for customers?
Nope.
i’m in Ct. can you build me a race version?
No.
What is Losi? The Axles?
Lol. "I bought a RTR because the axles were good."
How many cells do you run in this truck? 2s or 3s?
Both trucks that I built on this platform are running on 2S and are tuned down. I'm not running full throttle or torque.

Trying to figure out why anyone would race this particular setup? It seems like its not built for speed or stability, more of a fun truck not for competetion. Is that why you did it...for the challenge?
It looks like you didn’t pay attention to the video.
