Status: offline 		I dropped my front driveline out of my lst2 on the ranch 3 times in one day, I had no threadlocker so I pulled the front driveline out. WOW! Taking the load off of the front of the tranny dispursed all of the horsepower to the rear. The truck had mad power, expanding the tires like crazy. It was fun while it lasted but it kept pulling the front wheels off of the ground and I couldnt stear. Did great brodies though.

Status: offline 		So this is happening to all the LST2s? You have to take apart the truck and add thread lock to the screws. This sucks! I e-mail Team losi 4 times and asked them if they were going to fix the problem and they have still not e-mailed me back.

I lost my wheel the first day I had the LST2. Was not impressed.

I Agree! I think that Goes for the Whole Truck!

If Ya Don't take the Few Mins it Takes to Go Over Your Truck! Than Its Your Own Problem,

I know Most Guys Don't Read the Operations Guide, But Did you Really Not See the,

( " STOP Please read the backside of this sheet BEFORE Operating your LST2" I wish my Scanner was working...

Status: offline 		Come on, really. First, we all complained because the original LST had red loctite all over it, making removal of broken parts nearly impossible, now we are complaining because there isn't any loctite. Losi can't win.

First and foremost, you should always go over your R/C vehicle before considering starting it. The LST isn't really even made by LOSI. It's a Losi Sport, probably made in China. Had you bought one of the race breeds, you'd have had to screw in every screw, and it would be your responsibility to make sure every applicable screw is loctited down. I personally have a LST, XXX-NT, XXX-NT AD2, and all require constant maintanence.. The first thing I did, was to tear it down, and rebuild it (mostly using blue loctite, ie, could remove stuff at the track.) Everytime you run it, you MUST ensure that all the screws are tight. If they are not, and they are metal to metal, you must remove the screw and re-loctite. I know a lot of people are new and don't know this, but hey, it's part of the learning process. And if you know this, but don't practice it, shame on you.

Losi KITS are second to none, their ready to runs leave something to be desired sometimes. I figure the fact they even offer RTRs is because Horizon decided they would, as their founder in the early days of Losi stated that they would never offer a RTR.

Status: offline 		I m waiting for my LST2 to arrive.
my experience with blue loctite isnt really good screws on the engine mount can still come off.
should I use the red instead, or there is a preference to use blue in some places and red in others.

I'm using red on any moving part, blue on other meta-to-metal.

To remove red...just use a heat source...I use a solder iron to heat the screw before trying to remove,

Status: offline 		Darn, it too me 15 minutes to locktight the drive train. I raced it and did a Monster Jam demo and the only problem I had was my glue came off my crimefighters in the rear (my fault for being lazy). The drive train upgrades have made me a believer again!!!
