RE: Losi LST or HB Lightning Stadium Pro?
The Losi big truck for racing??? If you plan to race at all the HB truck is the only choice of the two you mentioned. The LST is suffering some real problems with the durability of several components. In fairness they are being addressed as quickly as can be, but they remain problems on the already released trucks nonetheless. The only real problem with the HB trucks is lack of them. The RR version is available, but the pro version gets gobbled up as quick as it hits the shelves. The people that are grabbing them up are the hardcore racers. A local guy has one and all he's done to it was install a better steering servo. He will tell you the engine is a bit weak, but it has not stopped him from winning a lot of local races with it. He said when the original engine goes he's going to replace it with an OFNA picco .26 he had left over from a supermaxx truck he recently parted out.
