RE: LST upgrade kit worth it?
Well I got to run my new Aftershock......box stock excpet I used my radio and receiver with everything else being stock. The truck started easily and for the 5 tanks I ran it never shut off or ran hot. The only adjustment I did was leaned out the lowe end about a 1/16th and thats it. I have not touched the high needle at all because the truck seemed to run excellent with doing anything to it. I will lean out the lowend more and thats about it for motor tuning. I'm S&W 30% nitro.
The truck ran around the track great. The brakes where excellent and had more than enough stopping power. Are track is all clay taht guys run slicks on. That being said I need to thicken up the shock oils, heavier springs and swaybars on it and I will also got to 10K oil in the front and rear diffs. It will handle even better after I get done with these changes.
All in all it was a great choice for me. Did everything I wanted it to do and actually I didn't expect it to run this good. I didn't even go over the truck like I do with almost all the RTR's I get and yet nothing came loose and acted funny all night. I had tons of enjoyment from running the truck at the track tonight.

I have tried the 10k rear and front, and it dosent work well, it spins out to much. buy hey give it a try and see the results, maybe you like it, Now I run 30k in front and 10k in rear.
and does the FOC kit make a difference?
Not Really in the way they drive, But there Very Diff as in Engines and Trannys.....One still has Rev & Low and the Other Truck has the FOC with the Gear Swap.......

RE: LST upgrade kit worth it?
just try and see what happen that what I did, but since you know other guys that run in that track i think it is a better idea to go and ask them what they are running.
I am very confused, for what exactly is the gear swap??
It does,But With the Gear Swap it will make a Lot more Difference.....
