Is this truggy still competitive? Will it be able to hang with the new trucks?
I have a line on a cheap one and was just wondering
Thanks

This truck will be as good as the driver. Most drivers cannot use the full potential of the truck, so up to a certain point skill level, the truck does not have a real impact on performance. The LSP is still capable, but it does give up some to the D8T. My old LSP was run by my g/f's son in our shoot out recently and if it wasn't for a motor dying out in the first main, then he would've finished ahead of a few others driving some of the newest vehicles.
If you can get one cheap, there's also a chance to make a frakenstein truck too. Part LSP, part D8 if you want since the diffs and the drive train are very similar. Depending on the track, the LSP will hold it's own, but you will have to drive a bit better to get good results. One other thing is that the old LSP with aluminum parts and a few king headz upgrades are like tanks! Pretty much for sure to finish the race!
