I never belived O.S, ot any of those brands claims to begin with...

Evader ---> MGT

No shiz, the .70 (I know they exist) is gonna be more powerful. It doesn't have the top end to keep the truck moving faster though. Off the line, BEAST, later on, it's screwed.

And the dude after him, Integra's are not 1/10-1/8 Radio Controlled MT's, you can even compare them, so you can be quiet. Real cars have way more variables and the engines are totally different. But anyways, if the smaller integra has a turbocharger, whose gonna win? Good night.

I know its not a identical comparsion but the idea is the same. And no.. a intergra with turbo and even NOS will still lose...but again, that is not a equal comparsion so no point to even go there.

The easist way to compare is to drop the Mach 427 in the GST and we will find out.. unless someone did that to test the theory... all the trash talks are pretty much pointless

The TT .70 doesn't even come close to 35k, more like 20k tops... and, I don't even know of a motor that revs to 53k, or even close for that matter...

lmao @ the 'muffler bearings' in your link LOL

Umm i've been searching and I haven't seen any RPM A arms for the GST lol? Dropping a Mach 427 into a GST will not make it faster, sorry fellas. I'm almost inclined to do it to shut some of your mouths but I don;t want to waste my time since I already know i'm right!

I am positive a Nova .28 is faster than the 7.7.....but id prolly keep the 7.7 in IF I ever got one for free...lol

MiamizFinest

it actually is............there is a guy on the forum that ripped is 7.7 out and installed a novarossi 528XR in his...........the nova was still more punch and had more top end............there is no engine on the market more powerfull than a 528XR

Chronic

The reason that the CEN MTs feel underpowered with most .28s is because they don't have as much lowend grunt as the big .46 CEN engines. The truck weighs sooooo much that it requires a healthy lowend punch just to get out of it's own way. THe Nova actually makes just as much lowend grunt as the CEN engine though, and it has a HUGE advantage in the mid-high rpm range, so yes, the truck would be faster with the Nova.

The thing is... most people find that their smaller trucks actually get SLOWER when they swap in the CEN engines. The lighter trucks don;t require as much power down low and they can take greater advantage of the better mid-high rpm curves of the smaller engines. The best way to make your LST or Savage slower is to grab one of those New Era conversion kits and swap the big lazy CEN engine into it. It will be a useless wheelie machine out of the hole, and then it will fall flat on it's face compared to similar trucks with smaller engines.

What you basically have with the CEN MTs is a truck where the only "upgrade" engines are the expensive racing mills. It doesn't matter if you can barely outrun the other RTR trucks in stock form, because they can swap in a $120 Axial .28 or Mach .28 and blow your ass out of the water, and you can't do crap about it without spending $350-$500.

Man this caught me by surpirse LOLOLOLOLOLOL thats funny ass hell!!! very good points

blackrain

this is true when i bought my nemesis and i use to run the stock 55 series tires it was crazy fast. Then i switched to 40 series wheels and it lost all mid and top end. the motor realy doesnt turn much rpms so you need to run really tall tires to get any real benefit from it

steven16

you could gear your lighter truck to use the low end power more instead of wheeling everywhere and red lining after a few feet though not argueing but thats what im doing

Well I am brand spankin new in fact I don't even own a truck yet. So I am here for some advice. Having read through this thread however I have to say that I am seriously frightened that I might get BASHED ha ha ha. By the way im 36. Anyways I understand there are some variables to consider when purchasing a truck. I have narrowed my choices down to the GST or the LST2. My question is considering all aspects such as Overall performance, maintenance, parts availability etc.. which truck would you recommend.

Thanks

Oh yeah PetrolisTasty no offence but im not interested in your opinion so you need not reply....

Well you can't go wrong with either truck. Both are top of the line and fun as hell to drive. I would say the LST2 is a little easier to work on,, but the GST has some beefier parts, if your looking for parts avaliability the LST2 wins hands down. Although you can get parts for the GST and even hop ups but it's mostly ordering from e-bay, local hobby shops don't really carry parts for the Cen but they may later down the road. The GST is a little bigger then the LST2 also, hope I helped. Again both trucks are seriously awesome and you'll have tons of fun with either one. Good luck

MiamizFinest

LST2 all the way.....i think the thread pretty much speaks for itself on why.....


PetrolisTasty i think gave up.........he hasnt responded in a good while

now now boys try to get along, i'm into fg's and mcd now but when i was a nitro guy wow the genesiswas a great basher. LST2 is a great truck my budy has one and kept running while he was allways fixing something. there both fun and great nitros. you guys should try large scale boats as well lots of fun if you can find a place to rage. having alot of fun now with fg buggy. awsome tuff fun rigs.
keep it real and most of all enjoy your hobby and help the newbies
