I am really surprised at the durability of the LST2, especially after seeing firsthand the problems with the LST. One reason the LST kept breaking, even after changing a lot over to Aluminum, is that the added stress was forced to other parts. With the Beefed up LST2 arms, they still take the force, without sending it elsewhere, but are strong enough to hold up to the abuse.

I would hope that Losi learned from the LST, and used that feedback to make their Buggy and Truggy right the first time around. I'm sure there will be some issues, being their first attempt at these types of vehicles, but hopefully not so bad as to never actually make it to the final race. Also, keep in mind, most of the problems with the LST were due to the size and weight of the truck. The 8ight and 8ight-T don't have that hurdle to overcome.
