Any Truth to the rumor that we might see a special edition LST soon?
I've seen it aluded to in a few places that Losi might soon be releasing a new edition of the LST with a larger motor and maybe other updated parts. Anybody know if this has been substantiated?

it wouldnt suprise me, almost every car that losi has is released with an upgraded form for racing, a lot of companies do it, for Associated it is factory team trucks for losi they make a graphite+ version or something akin to that

Since you are from California, why dont you visit the iHobby expo later this month. Tell me what you see when you get to that Team Losi booth. There are a few surprise releases. And when you get there, take some pics of the LST2 for me. I'll be buying one ASAP. HEHEHE

Something like 110.00 in gas a missed day of work and whatever it costs to get into that beast of a convention would be end up leaving me with a budget better suited to a mini-LST.

I want one in kit form. I already have some engines laying around and an M11 with Spektrum to throw in for a radio system.

i don't think they will release a race LST. Look how long it took them to do the research, testing LST's and final production.they wanted it to be race ready and the did. Although they should have released it with aluminum diff cases.

Well in most cases, RTR's like the savage come with CRAP radios, CRAP sevos, and CRAP motors, so that is why they'll release a SE adition or make it in to a kit. But, with the LST it comes with great servos, a great radio, and a fiarly nice engine, so really, there isn't a whole heck of a lot to approve upon. Yeah it needs a secondary gear cover and some alloy diff cases, but they arent going to re-release the truck JUST because of those little 10 dollar fixes. Well, thats just my $0.02.

I thinking something more along the lines of the upgrades you mentioned plus a mach .28 engine and maybe threaded shock bodies and adjustable upper control arms or other ways to change the trucks camber angle. The engine is the obvious big selling point, but the shockbodies and camber adjustment are big pluses to people who want to have their suspension really dialed for racing. Alternatively it'd be sweet if they sold the LST in kit or ARR form the latter would be especially nice since as you stated they already include a nice transmitter, which if I could buy an additional losi and use it with the transmitter I got with the first one it seems I'd save money by not buying redundant parts... I'm just thinking outloud over here, but I did read a rumor about an upcoming SE just not sure if it was credible or not.

RE: Any Truth to the rumor that we might see a special edition LST soon?
I have heard that it will have the new Drake engine, and I couldn't agree more about making it in a team or factory team kit, I hate the RTR and I believe if everyone would have the chance to build there own there would be far fewer questions in the forum, I started in the sport in 1990 and thats all we had back then was the kits.....lol....My first was the Traxxis Radicator 2 and then the old Alum Tub RC10 which I still have but totally rebuilt both with new paint and skins and retired them in mint condition. I love to hear people who are like me and love to build there own, Great Post, Thank you, If you hear anything else on the LST perhaps ya could drop me a E-Mail @ [email protected].
Again Thank you

Uhh.. just curious... if nobody asked questions on this forum, what exactly would be the point? I know i sure as hell wouldn't come on here just to hear peoples stories and have some discussion allll the. The questions on RCU are basiclly like blood being pumbed to the heart. Gunna have to deal with it poncho

I really prefer building kits over RTR just because I like knowing that everything has been inspected, cleaned up (trimmed etc.), lubed, lock tited, and set properly BEFORE running the truck. Running it out of the box might provide for a more instantaneous moment of gratification, but in the end it's the problem that you don't see that comes back to bite you on the ass....

Thank you, thats all I was trying to say, I know when I get done with a build that it was done correctly and if something does happen to it I know just what to do to fix it in a very timely manner without having to ask another person, but I'm not to the point that I think I know everything, I always have my ears wide open. Thanks for understanding.

Holly, I just think it's cool that a female is interested in a mechanical hobby like RC. It's great to see someone such as yourself that not only drives, but wrenches on her rig as well. Good job!

Our club has a lady racer - she's an ex moto-x racer to boot! She's not the fastest at our track, but she may be the most consistant driver we have. Never goes TOO fast, always stays in control... I learned lots from her!

My wife drives (she has her own LST) and she is going to start racing a JRX-S indoors this winter but she doesn't do any of the work on the cars or anything like that. I think that's what she pays me for...[&:]
