The Question Everyone Asks
 

Ok I'm sure you've all heard it a million times but I'm in search of a new MT. I currently have a Tmaxx that I've had ever since they first came out. I'm since then upgraded to the 2.5 and put many other mods on it. I was looking into the Revo, LST, and the Genesis. I don't plan on doing any racing.....just mainly backyard bashing and some driving on one of my friends motocross track. I want something durable and fast yet can handle jumps very well. I'd really like some input on this other than "this question has been asked a million time":). Thanks!

this question has been asked a million time:eek:

RE: The Question Everyone Asks
 

Well I was hoping for some unbiased opinions or atleast an opinion about one of the trucks period....

RE: The Question Everyone Asks
 

why not read the topics not far away fomr this one its called something like revo or lst...I would stay clear from cen for now but i would highly consider the traxas revo or lst...

RE: The Question Everyone Asks
 

I Really want the CEN but I don want the trouble they're having. The truck looks like it would be awesome if they could get the flaws fixed!

RE: The Question Everyone Asks
 

The LST breaks more than the Revo, so I would say to go with the Revo, no dout.

RE: The Question Everyone Asks
 

I've had little to no problems with my LST, so I would have to counter balance the above post. ;)

If you go with a LST you'll be getting a truck quite a bit larger than your current truck. I'm not sure if you want that or not but to me that was certainly an advantage. Something different.

I won't go directly into the specific difference between these two trucks as I'm sure you already know by the countless posts everything there is to know about each in terms of features, specs, top speeds ;) and more. At the time I bought my LST I had not seen a Revo drive yet except in the videos so I was going purely by the videos released by each corporation in which the Revo was portrayed as more of a Racer to me. I know the LST was the only truck actually filmed on a track but the low profile tires of the Revo to the smaller scale ultimately made me go for something larger, hence my LST. And I can't complain, in fact I'm going out to drive it now.

InfernoMP, CEN is working on somthing called the CARE PACKAGE that will be given *Free* (< I think) to correct all the problems that people are encountering.

Just buy a Razorback or Bomb-Proof BL Truck and be done with.

Why do you even bother comparing these trucks? Do you have both of them? Inless someone has both of them they shouldnt try to compare them, I believe hes looking more towards peoples expiernces with these trucks not peoples guesses about the trucks.

Well anyways, i own a LST and Savage. My friend has a Mammoth and Mad Froce and i have driven them many times.. The LST no doubt out performs any of these trucks. Althought the Mammoth is in the same ball park as the LST handling wise and performance. The LST has so many nice features though. So if i could only choose one of these trucks it would be the LST.

Well hopefully that helps some, atleast give you some knowledge on how the LST performs compared to some other trucks.

RE: The Question Everyone Asks
 

What kind of statement is this? You have never even seen them in person or heard of that.

RE: The Question Everyone Asks
 

Have you ran your LST next to a Tmaxx or Revo or been around them much? How does the size of the LST compare? Any complaints whatsoever with the LST?

RE: The Question Everyone Asks
 

I say get an LST for many reasons but if i could only pick 1 reason it would be the tranny's High/Low option.While its not needed for racing it is great for off the track.Typically i set it in high range to warm the truck up with a few high speed pases, then drop it down in low and hit the near vert hills or rock pile.Not only is the gear change quicker than with other trucks,its also a much lower ratio @ 51.5:1.Also if you ever decide to go racing you will allready have a stout ride,havent broken anything myself yet [sm=biggrin.gif]

Have fun with what ever you decide

RE: The Question Everyone Asks
 

How does the size of the Genesis compare to the LST's size?

RE: The Question Everyone Asks
 

Well i have never ran with a T-maxx, but i have seen a T-maxx run. I wasnt very satisfied by its performance, By watching it i would probly say its in the same ball field as a Savage handling and performance wise, but is definatly not near as durable as a Savage. The T-maxx is a little smaller then a Savage, and the Savage is a little smaller then the LST.

My only complaint with the LST is the axles so far. But Losi is working on stronger ones at the moment so it wonte be an issue.

And if i was you i wouldnt even consider a Genises ATM.... Noone can even get there Genises to shift to 3rd, There having tons of problems.

RE: The Question Everyone Asks
 

If you're looking for mid and low end power and excellent suspenesion and durability, I would definitely take alook at the Savage 25.:D
