Yep, it's running great now, good temperatures and a trail of smoke so it seems everything is running as it should.


One other thing I wondered was how well it's supposed to be able to pull wheelies. And I know how bad this will look to people that didn't read this thread thinking some crazy guy's trying to do wheelies on break in but I've got about 8 tanks through it so I'm done with all that. It'll pull the front tires up in the air in low gear, actually if I'm stopped in the grass it can flip the truck right over on it's back! Quite a lot of power really for a 13lb truck.

In high speed however it doesn't have as much torque, the front end lifts and uncompresses the sag of the suspension but the tires never leave the ground. Is this normal? I know high speed is a very much higher gear ratio than low and the tires are much larger and heavier than my Savage tires for instance but I just want to make sure my truck is performing as it should.

Does that seem about the same as your LST? Also I haven't cut any holes out of the body because I feel that shouldn't be necessary, if Losi felt that was a problem they surely would have done that from the factory. Besides there's a huge channel near the front wheel wells where tons of air blows through so cutting holes shouldn't be necessary.
