Default To my LST: I apoligize

I have to say that the first two months of this truck was very painfull . I experienced every problem that you have with the first 3000: motor, roto start ,axles etc . I have to give Bill credit he never blinked an eye when I called for new parts .
I now have this truck broken in and tuned and I can say WOW . I am very impressed . Today was the first day I went out with the intentions of breaking something and could not . I had this thing jumping about 4ft high with jumps about 10 to 15 ft and it didnt hesitate . The only thing I have to get use to is the sound of the body hitting the ground . It never broke though.
So after months of cursing this truck . I must apologize .
Next weekend it will go head to head with my savage picco 26 my pull start broke this weekend .

I for some amazing reason have truck number 2219 and have had only minimal probs with my LST. I broke 1 cvd pin, 1 clutch spring, .....no axles (even have spare axles sent from bill) , no cvd shafts, no diff cases, NADA. I jump my LST off skate ramps on the street alot.......almost full speed launching......the only probs i am having now is the truck is bottoming out on large hits...bottom skid plate getting all scraped up...but other than that just loving it.

i'm the same, got truck # 2357 and i havent broken ne thing. i take mine to a nearby bmx track jump it 6ft in the air at full speed and land it on its lid, cart wheel it, flip it, everything and i havent broke ne thing. only thing that got me was the roto start peice of sh1t plastic gear(now replaced with a drill). i have lost a body mount through so much landing on the lid and i also lost the small spring on the pipe where the roto shaft rests on it. apart from them and the body i've replaced nothing.

I have #633, and was the first person at RCU to post about owning one. I have had very little problems with mine, and I have beat the crap out of it. I have a couple videos floating around here somewhere. The only things I broke that were of mystery were a clutch spring (replaced shoes and springs with Savage ones), and 1 turnbuckle (replaced with a Tmaxx turnbuckle). This truck has been very good to me.

I break alot. But I bash pretty hard. It's time to go home when I run out of spares. Otherwise I would be bashing 24 hours aday. I have to say the breakage is pretty consistant. All I need usually are spare axles, driveshafts and arms and I'm set. The truck is awsome and much more stable than my friends with Savages and T-maxes. Yes they break stuff too. They just don't know what's going to break on theirs till it breaks.

Do you mean when the back of the truck hits the ground, I had that, yesterday I kept on checking my truck yesterday, sounds like plastic snapping.
