RE: Where to buy LST
I paid $539 for my XXL shipped. Places like overdriveRC and stormer hobbies normally sell these for around $550.
If I were you, mention to your local hobby shop that you can pick one up online in the $550 range(which still gives him a full $100-150 dollar profit), maybe he will cut you a deal if you let him know you will be buying alot of aftermarket parts for it. Parts is where the BIG profits are in this hobby anyway. Markup on parts is normally in the 100-200% range, and thats no joke.
