Mini LST2

Post by guerd87 »

well after going to my LHS to put the axial AX-10 order down i come across the mini LST2 in the shop

after having a test run of the shop sample i had to have one

walked out with a receipt for:

mini LST2 RTR kit
order for the last AX-10 they are getting in next week
order for 8kv c4 brushless system - for mini LST2
and some other random goodies like new servo, receiver and some MIP CVD's :eek:

so pumped right now

had a run of the stock form LST2 and i can say its great out of the box, great to drive, no glitches at all with the 2.4ghz unit and super fast (for stock anyway)

willpost some pics up later on 8-)

I'm jealous. They added so much cool stuff to the 2, for not that much more than I paid for my mLST.

I'm mostly interested in the beefed up gears and nicer wheels and tires, but that 2.4ghz radio would be pretty cool too. :-o

the tires are nice and soft and seem pretty good on most places i run,might change with brushless though

owner of my LHS asured me that the gears in the 2 were alot better, they have fixed the problems with the diffs

one down side...slow ass charger!

i need to get a good charger, what does anyone recomend that will do most NI-MH and lipo's? the losi adapter this kit comes with takes 6hours!

Doesn't do lipos but I love my superbrain 960. Get a Ice if you want to charge everything.

That would be another bonus of the mLST2.
