LOSI LMT ROLLER - What motor/ESC?

When you purchase a Losi LMT Roller, what motor would fit? How big can you go, and what are the differences between for example sensored brushless, and 10th scale or 8th scale motors? Let's find out what fits, and also what doesn't in today's video where we check out what the possibilities are in the all new Losi LMT.

I have a different idea of selecting KV, i usually don't just go with the kit (meaning meta) type setups. I like to run lower KV on higher voltage, this is for a more efficient package, plus headroom on maxing out specs. In my experience, using lower KV's on higher voltages lowers the amp use for a particular setup. For example, for 6s setups i prefer a 1200KV motor. on 6s it's around 24-24K rpm so stays well within the max of 50kRPM most of the cheaper motors run. Also due to the higher voltage there is a lowered amp use in the setup. Geared properly (meaning not to the moon), you can get more runtime per charge and lowers the stress on the batteries. The setups you talked about are good and they work well, I just like to experiment on efficiencies and runtime with my setups. BTW around 2007 I had an RC10GT converted to brushless with an old Lehner 1200XL, I had that running on a 5s 2500mah Flightpower pack, That setup was good for 30+ minutes on a charge and was geared for 30-35 MPH. Using an Eagle tree, it never pulled more than 50 amps on a blacktop launch

Thank you for the insight! Expecting my LMT to arrived by the end of the month and was in a dilemma to put which electronics in it and your video pretty much answered it! Awesome video and keep up the good work!

What a great video. Very informative information. I'm just a RC hobbyist and enjoy working on my cars just to have something different than stock. I've been wanting an LMT for a while now but was going to get a RTR just because I mess up quite a bit when I order parts for a car I'm upgrading. The best part about this video is all the valuable information you provided without getting over technical. Awesome job. 💯%

[@dustang5.O]

You can get a 25T servo saver from Losi for this as well. What are the options for using the gear cover when the motor shaft bumps into it? The only thing I can think of is drilling a hole large enough in the gear cover large enough for the spline to poke through. Or adding spacers behind the motor mount plate?

[@tjenkins1126]

Dope! Can't wait til my Son of a Digger gets here. Lotta value for money there, plus all the vids of it made it look worth while. Got to demo one at my LHS recently, now I feel like a crackhead jonesing for a rock. Really looking forward to seeing what you do for design and paint. 👊🍻👍Happy new year

[@databeestje]

Hmm, this should also fit my Toro X8T Truggy 1650kV (sensored) motor, and as long as it fits normal square Lipo batteries it should be good. For a budget motor and ESC it wasn't as terrible as I thought, and the sensored combination makes it a lot better to drive.

[@mikeleach70]

I still have a black can 2200 castle combo that spent time in my Yeti, and has resided in my Traxxas Rally for a very long time, Bullet proof. I'm excited to see what you do with the LMT, if the axle gears dont blow every run, I will be getting 2, one for me, the other for my son...

I think that motor will be right at home in one of these. Your kid is lucky, have fun!

@@hemistormrc I just upgraded my XMAXX and put the big Venom 9000 batteries in it. Big mistake as the chasis cracked within 10 minutes!! The extra weight was just to much I think.

Quick question. Between the LMT and the Tekno MT410, which is the more durable kit? I'm having trouble deciding which to get.

[@hemistormrc]

If you want a scale monster truck, get the LMT. If you want a basher, get the Tekno. Very hard to compare vehicles.

@@hemistormrc I mean, it isn't that hard to compare them... The question is pretty simple. Which is more durable? Which breaks easier? Which can handle more abuse? I'm not asking for subjective opinion.. Just objective fact.

[@deltazero3796]

No idea why this mt must have that high price, the license shouldn't be the main factor, same as the model itself...

[@hemistormrc]

I honestly think the price is more than fair, a roller with high quality parts and a chassis design that is performance oriented for under $400 used to be unthinkable. If you’d want to build anything remotely like it a few months ago you should have been prepared to fork out a grand. Seeing that Kevin Hetmanski basically licensed his chassis design is a cool factor, along with the scale axles. Thanks for stopping by, happy 2021! 😃🍾
