I say get an LST for many reasons but if i could only pick 1 reason it would be the tranny's High/Low option.While its not needed for racing it is great for off the track.Typically i set it in high range to warm the truck up with a few high speed pases, then drop it down in low and hit the near vert hills or rock pile.Not only is the gear change quicker than with other trucks,its also a much lower ratio @ 51.5:1.Also if you ever decide to go racing you will allready have a stout ride,havent broken anything myself yet [sm=biggrin.gif]

Have fun with what ever you decide
