new member with pics of my new LST
Hey all,found the site from a friend.Looks like lots of good info on here.Im sure im gonna need it.I started off with a stampede electric truck and just had to get a gas truck.What a big difference,like night and day,a real mans toy!!lolAnyway I got a good deal on a lst,and played with it for a bit,but the motor gave up and im now having a .30 lrp motor put in at the LHS(hopefully a good choice)!!I got a bug body custom painted and I really like it.Im one of those with a need for speed(and chrome lol),and will be doing my best to make this a cool toy!Anyway here is a couple pics I took of the lst.Im really looking forward to hearing your opinions and advice on this truck,thanks in advance!

RE: new member with pics of my new LST
Thanks guys!I really didnt want to try to tune and set up this first motor of mine(cost too much),and mess it up.So Im gonna let them install it and tune it.Then Im going to start on it from there.I used to run only 2 strokes in sand drags and I have those down pat!I was having a hard time cause I cant just do a "plug chop" to see where Im at.So,after you all help me,I'll me good to go on my own truck!lol Also,I want to make the bug look like a real bug with THIN front tires and rims(sand style),and the bigger paddles on rear.I cant find any thin buggy style rims to fit it.Im sure they will have to be the same height because of the 4x4 system???Anyone have any idea's on those rims and tires? Also wI had them upgrade the clutches,anything else I should do besides the LST2 kit?Im not sure what pipe they sold me,but they said its good and will work fine on the LRP .30 motor.What do you all think would be the best pipe for that motor?Also is the stock gearing a good place to start,or is there another set up that I will like better?I'll be bashing it,climbing hills,and maybe some sand drag racing with friends!!Thanks again for the advice and warm welcome!

P.S. Has anybody tried a RC solutions roll cage yet, they are made here locally! On sale for $70 on Ebay but I believe I can buy cheaper locally???

Hey steve,
you should make those headlights for real with new led headlights, they will look cool and let you run at night!!!
