LST,REVO,and FT NTC3 is mine
Well 16 years ago I was all into electric R/C. Did it for 3 years and totally stopped. To much money to keep up with maintanance at my age that time. My first R/C ever was a Tamiya hornet,then a Tamiya grasshopper. Then after got a AE RC10 buggy. Got rid of it all.
Now I look at how engineered R/C has become so I went into nitro. So my first thing that I bought for the hobby was a Futaba 3pk pcm past April. Then 2 months later got my first nitro. Factory Team NTC3. Now back 16 years ago all R/C's that I owned was in a kit style. That's why I got the car. Very rare that I know of any car or truck as RTR. Then got a RB V12 Rody 3 port to propell the car. Then got all the nessesary tools and gagets to make this hobby take off.
Then after reading countless forums of you peps owning MT's and having fun with them I decide to get one also. Got the LST begining of this month. Still have yet to get it going and breaking it in. So busy running the on-road car. Dang, that thing is wicked fast. Then here I go to my LHS to buy my Hudy set up board. Behold, the Revo. Just arrived. Ready to put up for display. Then my wife says "Babe, that's a really nice truck". Then I said " yea everyone's wanting those too but it's totally backed ordered. And here is one in front of us". Then a customer says to the salesperson "how much is it" sales person says "$489" then the customer says " can you hold it for tomorrow? I'll get the money then". Salesperson "It's a high in demand truck so first come with the money will get it". Now there was alot of people in awe of the truck. Standing just looking at it. Then here's my wife " I'll buy it". I look at her and said "are you serious". Then guess what..........

RE: LST,REVO,and FT NTC3 is mine
Haven't run any of em yet except for my on road. The engineering and design on the Revo is very clean. From the chassis,suspension,electrical,trans,motor,etc is very well planned out. It's totally different in design compared to other MT's. Traxxas even added a 5 cell RX pack and charger to go with it. The only draw back in my opinion is the ergonomics of the transmitter. It totally feels like a toy. But I'll convert it to my 3pk anyways. I've seen it in action from another person who had one. And if the question is it fast or slow your asking, Yes it is fast.
Design and engineering of the LST is straight up. Everything is huge. And also looks very solid. It too is also different if design especially the chassis. Very rugged. Out of the box lets go to the track kind of truck. Transmitter,the JR radio is very nice. I sold mines for $150. So my 3pk is already set on that truck. To my opinion both are good MT's. If you don't own a decent radio, I'd go for the LST. Very worth the $600 dollars. Revo, for the money it's the bang-of the - buck. Fast, and more then enough to get up racing or bashing.....

All I gotta say is your wife must be a really cool person. I hope the guy that said he'd be back the next day was still standing there when she said it...
very cool, hurry up and get that LST running, it's a blast!
