Ultimate LST2
#2
sirio .30 axial .32 lrp.30 all WEXELENT engines and the lst2 can handle it with the all metal tranny and hardend diff's 17 mm tires and rims help alot too the stock ones are just way to big the wing kit will also give you rear downforce for better handleing just ask if you have any more Questions

get the losi hd diff cases. The gears hold up fine.
If you can do without reverse, get the foward only conversion. This will cut the weight and make for less moving parts in the tranny. There is also a way to swap two of the gears around to get more top end speed.
As far as motors, the lrp 30 is a good choice. Nova 528 is an absolute beast.
Wing kit is good for stopping wheelies. Does not do much for down force.

know the gears are stock i have taken and rebuilt the whole tranny six times becasue my reverse got fucked up so yes a forward only is a great chioce and yes the novarossie 528 is an absolute beat also but the lrp and axial hold up much longer

Cases
My truck is actually the stock LST but I have the LST2 conversion. It comes with the aluminum diff cases. The LRP is one I've been looking at. Is it a noticeable improvement over my stock Dyanamite engine? I wonder how the HPI 5.9 and the LRP compare?

All the engines you mention here can't came close to a Picco .28
For $200.00, a Picco 28 will turn arround an LRP 30 or Axial 32.
And if you make it mod by Clockwork Racing, AB Mods or Extrem RC Mods, you'll have a reliable, long lasting mental powerhouse at a realy good price.
I have a stock Mach 427 for now in my LST2, and i'am to buy a Moded Picco 28 for when the Mach will died.

Haven't owned an LRP .30 but if the .28 is anything to go by it should be a weapon.
The 5.9's didn't have that longer life span either but we are racing every fortnight.
Never seen Picco go yet so can't give an opinion but I'm more than happy with the LRP.

brett trust me on this...buy the new xxl transmission gears and losi's 19/26(+1) clutch bell...or search on line and see if you could find +2 clutch bell google search it, i know a company used to make them
losi's new big red .28 is a pure beast and they are cheap, you do this i garentee you will be fast...hell get the big red and have it modded!
with all that power you may want to buy the xxl chasis
TAKE THE REVERSE OUT...ITS WEIGHT AND DRAG, YOU JUST DONT NEED...if you take it out you will also notice your truck seem faster

ok personal experience with this truck I have to post about it.
I have a 427 ported and polished engine in my truck and it rips pretty good.
My buddy has the Mach 28 with no reverse and things are lightened up a bit also.
With the exception of the engine and a Carbon Mugen clutch my truck is all STOCK.
They both run the same in a straight up drag race
the one without reverse does feel lighter under the trigger finger but they are the same on the top end.

AND, what mach 28? because the old blue head one is nothing compaired to the new big red, the mach 427(.26) would have no problem beating a mach.28, and your 427 is modded ! if you took the reverse out i bet you would see your truck being faster than your buddies....trust me, ive had the truck for 5years ive done everything possible
