electric suk...i bought 1 of those Mini Team Losi LST things for my gf....mate, they rave about this thing in the book, how much longer the battery lasts an stuff
man, it last like 10mins....i ran it with my mates RC Nitro, an i ran out off power jus as he ran out nitro...which dusnt sound that bad...but wen u think
he can jus refill the tank an go play again, i had to let the battery cool down, which takes atleast an hour...then let it charge again for 4-6hrs...i wasnt happy
electric...suk!

but other than that...for wat the mini LST is...its great fun...good for a gurl anyway



Same can be said about Nitro's. For drifting, Electric is better because the torque is there on demand. With nitro you have to pretty much stay in a certain RPM range, To keep the torque up, To break traction.

About the runtime situation.. Your running outta 1 pack, While your buddy waisted a certain percent of his fuel. Your battery is rechargable, And will last MUCH MUCH longer then a gallon of nitro. If you wanna be able to play all day, Consider 2-3 x 3300 - 4800 NIMH battery's, as well as a GOOD peak charger. I dont know what kinda charger you have, But i could charge 5-7 battery's, in 4-6 hours. My 3000 nimh takes aprox 45 minutes, And it's peaked. Few minutes to chill, And it's ready to run. While im running, I can have another battery on the charger, getting ready. You can get chargers that will charge 2 pack's at a time as well.

Nitro you have to tune as well. Which for me, Takes all the fun outta the game with an old worn out engine.

With elec, It's charge, plug, Play, And spray. Keeps the neighbors happy as well.

Status: offline 		i think i got a sucky miter box, my hack saw cut right into the miter box, i think the problem was the pipe was taller then the box, i think i might just go to homedepot and rent a compound miter elctrical saw for 30 bucks and cut up my 5 ft 2 inch ABS into a bunch of drift tires, so i wont have to deal with cutting poly pipe, not sure might try to find a taller miter box first
