RE: truggy or mt?
The LST2 is a much beefier LST1/Afershock.. IMPO the LST2 is the best MT out yet - til the XXL anyway, which is basically the same, but longer and with a better stock engine and radio..
The LST2 handles amazingly, is fast, and is very tough. You may break an a-arm now and then if you jump a lot, but a-arms are DIRT cheap, and an easy fix..(easier than fixing Savage diffs for example...) RC if full of randomly different experiences, but mine is that the LST2 is the best RTR 1/8 offroad yet.. Same would hold for the XXL, cuz as stated they're pretty much the same..
If you don't jump a lot the Aftershock might be OK, but ultimately the LST2 and yes even the XXL are worth the price difference...
