I had a great time today at the Wildhobbies Bash Fest and wanted to share some pictures and videos of the action with all my fellow LSTers, and mention that the last car running was the LST
.
I own LST #210 and #521 and have most of the early parts on both of them including first run axles, dogbones and stock diff cases. I have also shown alot of pictures of my truck all clean and new looking, but have never had anybody to take video's or still shots of my LST in action until today. Take a look at the videos and still shots Kerry from WildHobbies took today at the Bash Fest of my LST in action, we were fortunate to have a ramp from the Monster Jam shows here on the West Coast, the ramp is real kicker and can shoot even a 12 pound MT 25 feet in the air, my 7.5 had the longest jump of the day somewhere between 55-60 feet with a friends triple 7 close behind that, the LST jumped somewhere in the neighborhood of 50 feet while completing two back flips and landing with the shinny side up
. The day was a blast and after 4 tanks in the LST and to many launches off the jump to count (I only counted the back flips 4 doubles and 7 singles) the only part I broke was a rear upper arm sometime during the third tank, but it held up through another tank of fuel, I noticed it was broken after the third tank but was having so much fun I didn't want to stop to fix it. Of all the vehicles I own I am glad I took the LST, mostly because it is a blast to drive and also because most of the people there had not seen the LST in action yet, I think there will be a few more LST's out there next time.
I was talking to one of the other MT owners and he told me "That LST is as fast as a cat with acetone on his *****" I almost fell over laughing.
