i have to agree with you rocco, that things looks terrible. i will stick to mine. went to the track today (leisures) what a tough layout for the buggies and trucks. don't get me wrong, i liked it but it was very technical.

So you drove and hour and a half and didnt stay to race??? It is a very challenging track for bigger r/c's. The lanes are tight but i think a set up like that hones your skills...... Or just drives ya nuts! :p

It was quite technical, but I had very few problems with the Buggy. The LST on the other hand.... Too many breakages... I think I am going to change the buggy to a truggy and run unlimited during the colder weather. I don't have quite as many durability problems when it is warmer.

I wish I would have made it to the track a little earlier. Someone was running the XTM XLB (1/7th scale Buggy).

When it is warmer, the LST is a little more durable. When the temps drop below 35*, some of the plastic parts like to break. Don't get me wrong, If I would have landed the jump right, or not under/over steered the turn, parts would not break either. On the Stock A-Arms, MANY of the lower arms have had an air bubble in them, causing a weak point, and they are also a bit too stiff. RPM arms are due out soon for the LST. Other breakages tonight, were a turnbuckle and a steering spindle (To much torque coming out of a turn, the back wheels broke loose, and I spun hard, slamming the wall with my back tire).

I didn't remember till after the first two times I broke, that I took out low gear and reverse, which really freed up the tranny quite a bit, causing a lot more torque....
