Here is my take so far... You dont need to muscle it around the track at all. The truck just feels so light when driving it (maybe because it is) and it re-acts to every little thing you do. Its real easy to go too fast and get out of control in a hurry (maybe its just my new V-spec power)  So....in a way its harder to drive, but it drives where you take it, and right now! IMO, the steering is a night and day difference, granted my new Bowties (thanks George) were not the greatest tire for the weekend, it still turned far better then my LSP would on Boa C's. The first time I ran the ST-R with the not so worn out foam in my Boa C's, it was a blast to drive, like it was on rails, I could dive right into the turn, hug it, and jump back on the gas without fear of pulling wide. (like how Sonny O does) I really missed those Boa's C's today when the track got a little dried up  I also love the breaks, very nice and consistant, no fade at all during the whole 30min race. Ive heard these pads are quite pricey too, they look like 1:1 style pads and very high quality vented disks  Im also very impressed with how durable it is... I took some bad spills going through the rough section, sending it into a kart-wheel for 20ft  One time I hit the wall down there as it was tumbling, it bounced up in the air and someone caught it in the crowd, he threw it back on the track and away I went!  Anyway...Im real close to having a gallon through it now, have not broke a single thing, not even the plastic rear hinge pin holder or shock ends, needless to say, Im very happy with it so far  O.S.

i have seen a few things get broken but to say the least i have seen it being very durable as typical for kyosho. The brakes are made in a real F1 plant which is why they are like 60$ a side lol
How did ur Nova run after I gave u that plug, any better? i saw ur car in the main last saturday and it looked like the motor was doin well www.czech-it-out-graphics.com 1/29/07 never forget....TTT Bringing old know-it-all blow hards back to reallity at a forum near you "Always Imitated, Never Duplicated"

Something Eric didn't elaborate on that he told me at the races. The K-truck reacts to setup changes far more than the LSP. For instance, he said he would change stuff on the LSP and not even notice a difference, then change the same with the Kyosho and there was a huge difference.
Sounds like the you could dial the K-truck in a little more as the LSP kinda just stays the same for the most part? I've never owned, tuned, or driven either so this is hearsay and general analyzation. RBS5 RB2045 All Futaba

They can be found cheaper then that
 I guess no one wants to check out the link I provided to www.truggyracers.com ? There is a whole section just for Kyosho truggies, there is a Kyosho rep named Tim that posts there all the time answering questions and so on. There is also a guy named Steve, his sn is Maxxtruck, he owns and runs...SpeedtechNitro The website is a nice one and he keeps pretty good stock on the ST-R and all the parts, he posts up when he gets shipments all the time. He has all the hop up parts like King Headz too. This where I bought my ST-R for $650 plus $17 somthing shipping to IL from CA, and it was here in 4 busness days Just email him for the real price, confirm your going to order it, and he'll change the price that gets charged to you, he also doesnt charge you until it ships. I bet more then half the people at truggy racers bought their ST-R's from Steve  O.S. EB Mod V-spec O.S. T-2050 pipe Airtronics 94359z servos Kyosho SP2 O.S.

Eric, I got a 25 dollar gift certificate for A-main plus the free shipping. I checked out the site you told me about when I got home on Sunday. Just checking to see if someone else has it cheaper. So, I'm still better off getting it from A-main. I was told that someone got one from Ulitmate for 599.00 for a Easter sale. Dont know if I should wait for another holiday sale from them to get one or jsut go ahead and get it from Kendall.
Thanks tho for the 411 bro. I checked it out.

Thats cool, I'd use that $25 too if I were you, plus free shipping, thats a good deal.
Too bad amain didnt get their first shipment of ST-R's until after my truck was half built, or I probably would have gotten it from them O.S. EB Mod V-spec O.S. T-2050 pipe Airtronics 94359z servos Kyosho SP2 O.S. V-spec Mugen MSR-1005 pipe Futaba 9350 & 9451 servos Kyosho Inferno GT SH .28
