My son wants to get an rc since his brother just got one. He likes like the mini t lst and lst2. What are all the differences. Does the lst & lst2 have the same basic setup just not as fancy of controller and stuff on the lst? What about the xtm rage. I would like it to have good support and hop-ups. Any suggestions would be appreciated. He's got about $150 to spend.

what vehicle did his brother get and are you planning on racing or bashing?

His brother got a recoil, he doesn't want one of those. He likes the stadium truck style.

Well, I recommend XRAY in most decisions because of their excellent quality and great documentation. In this case, I think you should go with the XRAY M18T(#380500) and we sell it for $120. If you need it as a RTR kit, we sell the M18T RTR for $200, but that's not going to fit your budget.

If you want to know what kind of hop-ups are available for the M18T, you should just take a quick look at the M18T PRO. This is a ready made M18T kit that comes with lots of aluminum and carbon fiber. Of course, you can drop a brushless motor and LiPos in it as well.

Associated RC18T. RTR is about $170ish, watch Ebay you can find it for less. They are really durable, parts are plentiful as are hop-ups.

The lst 2 has a few minor upgrades from the lst, mainly the dsm radio (spektrum). If your son just wants to bash, the lst2 is a good choice. for racing applications, I would choose the RC18T. The 18T RTR will set you back about $145-165 and there are plenty of hop-ups available.

Both vehicles are good choices and both have plenty of hop-ups available. It just depends on what application you will be using it for.

RC18T is tough as nails BUT the Vendetta ST is better in my opinion but im a racer not a basher

Isn't racing just a controlled form of bashing?

the rc18t is a great rtr, and pretty fast stock too!

not to mention the HUGE list of hopups you can do to the thing!!

Mental Note: Don't Race against gashuffer.

a controlled form of bashing with others with a common goal in mind.... be the first to finish

LST"s in careful hands seem to not be too bad.

Many times i see them broken and not racing though.

the rc18 series is great.

I love my vendetta but there is a few basics it needs. Then again i am sure the rc18 needs some things also.

My vote is RC18b/t and vendetta ST.... for the extra cash though XRAY for sure. Local guy is pretty hard on his and it keeps ticking
