RE: this summer
The LST2 is really, in my mind lol the best monster truck out there. It already has the threaded shocks, reciever pack, extra large gas tank, all terain tires. The only thing you need to watch is that the wheel nuts can easily come off. Try putting blue thread lock. Other than that you are ready to go. If plan on racing you will need a different set of tires. Don't get proline's bead lock wheel, the screw holes easily strip out. The motor has plenty off power to just parily keep the frot tires on the ground and is easy to tune. You will need to get a set of standard tools to work on the LST2.
