lol tamiya, junk, i dont think so.
lets think back at what each truck comes stock with, hmmm the tnx comes stock with ADJUSTABLE shocks, just not treaded, if you want it threaded, the LST doesnt come with threaded bodies either. junk , OS small block??? hell no. that thing could keep up with a stock LST. HAVE YOU EVEN HAD A TNX??????? im guessing not

HI, GO WITH THE LOSI LST. THE TAMIYA IS A JUNK AND NO COMPARRISION TO THE LOSI. THE TAMIYA HAS JUNK SHOCKS, AND ARE NON ADJUSTABLE, AND THEY BREAK. THE TNX ALSO HAS SOME JUNK OS SMALLBLOCK. THE LOSI IS A BIG BLOCK WITH SHOCKS THE SIZE OF CANNONS. I HAVE BEEN RACING FOR 7 YEARS AND HAVE MANY MT'S LOSI IS BY FAR THE BEST RACE TRUCK OUT THERE.

I have narrowed my next truck down to these two ? Any feedback on either one would be appreciated. Have concerns on LST because of back orders on parts if needed and bugs still being worked out on this NEW Truck. As far as TNX, I have not seen too much negative feedback, so I am leaning toward the TNX. Other than the shocks on the TNX, is there any other weak points about this truck. How is the radio that comes with the TNX, would I need to upgrade ?

One of you TNX guys needs to go get the New Era 21 conversion and run something sweet like one of the 27s or 28s with some gearing tall enough to keep the from from flipping at a roll or faster... imagine the acceleration, the top end.... wow. Will those wheel adapters at Sav-central let you run the pro-line 40 series wheels and tires? I think so...

Yah, In my opinion the stock OS engine is pretty killer. Any extra power would be unnecesary, but of course FUN AS HELL!
What os .18 engines will fit into the tnx? Will a version of the tz or the tm fit in this truck? Are the crankshaft styles the same? Thanks a lot for any info guys.

What the........ no wonder you Tamiya guys get mad at us. He did get some stuff right though. The LST does have a big block and big shocks that work very well, and the TNX shocks are bunk, but that all he's got. The best race truck depends on the driver.........imo
Oh ya... LOSILST..... QUIT YELLING!!!! lol

RE: TNX vs LOSI LST
Hey Guys,
The aluminum stock clutch shoes finally went out on me about a week ago and since I had a spare Force .26 engine laying around that I used in one of my buggies, I decided to go big block in my TNX..........one word....WOW!!!!!! I'm using a 15T bell with a 46T Kyosho spur gear that I modified to fit the tranny (15 min mod). I'm using the stock chassis and I moved the tranny forward almost an inch, and moved the steering servo over so the brake disc doesn't hit it. I also made some body mount post so I could put a SUV body on it. Here are a few pics.

RE: TNX vs LOSI LST
Sorry bout that..lol..lol... I was just curious to how my XTM 24.7 PRO will perform in a TNX? I hear great things about the mil it comes with, but i have a XTM PRO mil sitting doing nothing so im gonna throw it in my next MT. Imma go check my LHS to see how much they can get a TNX for me. Whats a good price?

KaliFormuLA - I have it set rich for now, but it does still handle well, even with the stock shocks and tires. I put 35W oil all around with a med size damper on all 4 rear shock springs. No I don't run it with the body that high. I was just showing the body post that I made so I could put a SUV body on it.
ScMc - I have some Velocity dish wheels / Bowtie tires comming my way in a few days. I have several bodies for it now; stock body, 4dr Ford truck, Chevy Suburan (basher body), Chevy Silverado. For the pic, the stock body was the closest to me at the time.
It sucks that Tamiya doesn't have any other parts besides the stock parts for it. I know Traxxas and HPI have several optional hop ups for the Tmaxx and Savage trucks. I like driving my TNX alot better than my Maxx for the simple reason that I've sunk so much money into my Maxx because of broken parts here and there....even though they were only $5 or $10 parts, they add up. I've bashed my TNX even harder and the only thing I've broke was one of the rear hubs ($7 for a set). Like someone said earlier; [link=http://www.neweramodels.com/prod66_tamiya_tnx.htm?session_id=nimrrxceoxfljdaow aoslpierdiityrx]New Era Models[/link] has a few upgrades for the TNX, I'm thinking about getting the A arms since it offers more shock locations and when I'm done doing some serious testing with this .26 mod, I'm going to get the new era 21 conversion chassis.

ooo my bad, i thought you were talking about the original chassis, the new era chassis tho is very good, no flex like you said, it it only adds a couple ounces to the tnx keeping the truck still very light, you can move the gearbox and engine foward to distribute weight better.

RE: TNX vs LOSI LST
I just came back from my LHS and heard mixed reveiws about it. They dont caryy it at all but can order me one for only 365. They said the lack of demand and parts support is too low for them to carry them. 1 person asked me if i ever seen 1 at the track. I said no and he said thats why.. The trackf here are flooded with Revo's,T-Maxx,Savages and a few MGT. They suggested me getting a MGT and throwing my big block in there. They said is reliable,tough, and easy to work on. I kinda would like to break the norm and have a truck no else has. I read some articles and reviews and it was all good about the TNX. I trust my LHS, but hmmmmmmmm.....
