I just got my LST this morning and after a quick comparison with the Savage, this thing is a monster!! I love the overall fit and finish with it, i can tell it'll be a great truck. I checked the needles to find they were way off from what they said in the manual and fixed them both.

So this afternoon after rebuilding my savage diffs I decided I may as well go break it in. Primed it till fuel reached the carb and stopped. Put my glow igniter on top and gave it a short rasp of the electric starter and it fired right up. It sat there idling as I started to bump up the throttle trim to get it to idle at a bit higher speed set for break-in. As I neared 20 on the throttle trim and about 10 seconds into starting it it shut off. Just died, no change in sound or rpm just off. Throttle must still be too low so I bumped it up a little bit more, put the truck on some blocks to elevate the wheels and started it up again. Started on first squeeze and ran for 7 seconds before the same thing. K, now I'm very confused, this has never happened to me before on break-in. After one more stall it became harder to turn over so I stopped, turned off the radio and headed inside to figure out what is wrong. The fuel tubing looks good, no air bubbles, no change in engine speed before cutting out.

Is my engine defective? Might a call to Losi tech support be in order? I might give them a call while it's still the afternoon, I'd really have liked this to get off to a better start. It looks like a god truck.
