Status: offline 		where o' where was this post when i bought my truck! ( i know, right here) I dropped my front drive shaft after about the 4th tank. the only good thing is at least i know its not just me. Personally i hate RTRs for this very reason. why didn't losi offer this as both an rtr and kit? you learn sooooo much more about the truck when you put it together yourself. And, to me anyway thats half the fun of R/C cars is putting em together. Oh well maybe the LST3 will be a kit eh? wishfull thinking.

Status: offline 		My friend had his fall out during break through, I knew that I would check mine after I got it out of the box it was tight, then I lost it, got another and used red and it still came out, let it sit over night and so far it's still in.I know theres a flat spot but the screw only gets to tighten down on half of the shaft in mine, making the set screw sit out some, is this normal.....

Status: offline 		You're not seating the set screw properly then. It should almost be flush. There is a flat spot on the shaft that the set screw should seat against. Try again.

Status: offline 		I suspect some dealers have opened their trucks and played with them before they send them to customs. There is certainly no quality control as it does in the factory in this process.

I am getting my LST2 next week. I hope my dealer does not mass up my truck before seding it to me. Is there any list of check I need to do before I start the engine and hops up I must have for this truck?

Many thanks in advanced!

Status: offline 		Just read the manual and maybe search this forum for the break in method of your choice, and just upgrade as you break stuff but it's a great truck right out of the box.

Status: offline 		Not sure what to get yet. I would like to seal the bottom of the truck but not sure it is a good idea or is there any parts available. Just got my truck yesterday. It is fantastics. Almost done with the break in.

Status: offline 		My lst2 runs so nicely now. It is amazing. So I think I am done with Nitro now. What is the next? Petrol or electric? For the petrol, I like Lauterbacher a lot. J&A T3 Mamba looks good as well. Any suggestion? Not sure about the electric one yet.
