so what do you guys think about this truck? i was thinkin about the lst2, but i have decided against it for several reasons!
but i really want something new, i love my revo but i like choices!! i was thinking a truggy would be a nice addition to the stable.
do ya think it can take much of a beating? i dont race, only bash but i do have a buggy so i know kinda what to extpect. i know buggies can take a pretty good beating, so i assume so can a truggy?
anyone have any experience with truggys here? what others should i consider? jammin, hellfire,?

ive been reading about it and it seems it has some small probs like wheel wobble, loose front end, servos fail after a couple tanks, and a couple other small things. well at least they sound small, i was hoping someone around here would tell me what they think of theirs.
sounds like the jammin breaks too easy?

From what i have read, it's really not living up to the hype taht surrounded it.. I mean for 600 bills, they could have atleast thrown in some decent elctronics! And revopqrs, with the type of bashing you do, i'd HIGHLY recommend to stick to MT's. Truggies are pretty much strictly racers, imo.

I went and looked at one yesterday in a hobby shop. It looked pretty nice and felt solid, except the radio. I asked the hobby shop owner about it and he told me to go with the LST2 or Savage instead beacasue they are better built. NOt sure if thats true at all but thats what he told me.

I race both the LST2 and HellFire. Both seem really solid. I've had well over a month of solid racing with my LST2 and just yesterday borke a knuckle because my battery died and I slammed the wall. It is a really nice racer and basher. I run almost identical times with the LST2 as I do the HellFire, but I haven't had any setup time with the HellFire yet. I can't say anything wrong about the LST2 it fixed all the LST1 bugs that I can see. I was a LST1 owner and man did it break allot. Not the LST2!!!!
The HellFire has crap electronics so all that you can salvage is the throttle servo. There is NO WAY you can expect a $12 plastic geared servo to hold up steering this beast. I don't see any more wheel wobble than any other truck out there. It handles great and floats through the air. I really abused this thing yesterday as I was placed with all the n00bs (I am sota one as well, but not as much as then) and was hacked all over the place. I did several endos, was slammed into the wall, etc, etc and it took it all. Seems really durable but I need more track time with it before I can make a final decision.
For me if it was just bashing, then I go LST2 all the way. I got the HellFire so I could run both classes.
