RE: lst questions? newbie
lst questions would be better answered in the LST forum
the starter is great, you use a stick pack that you can buy at any hobby store, it works by inserting a hex shaft into a starter backplate on the engine the starter turns over the engine until it starts
four forward gears is something that only the LST has, it has two sets of internal tranny gear ratios, there is a high and a low, high for high speed, and low for high torque, there is a shifter nob on top of the tranny if u look at the pics you can see it

RE: lst questions? newbie
I use one of my 14.4V cordless drills to start my LST, as it was cheaper then buying a new battery pack. The drill I use was $39 and it has two batteries. A high quality battery pack for the starter is about $40 or more. I already had three drills like the one I am now using, so I saved money by doing this.
I don't know how often these batteries would need charged, but I have run 5 gallons of nitro through my LST and have not had to recharge the first battery in the drill.
