Losi Mini LST2 1/18th
I'm thinking about getting a mini LST2 but I haven't seen much talk/feedback about it on here. Can someone give me some good feedback about this mini? would it be a bad buy? can I get something for about the same money (under $200) get something far better than this? Lets put it this way if you are to buy a mini 4wd elec what would you buy?

I already have a couple of truggies and a buggy, Reason I wanted to get into mini is to get more trigger time when the weather is bad, since it is electric I can run it inside and maybe design a track inside my garage. So I'm between Losi LST2 and RC18t which one is better?
Losi comes as a complete package and with RC18t I'll have to buy a rx, esc and motor separate.

Losi Mini T/Mini-LST Ball Diff Question
I know how to install this on my Mini-LST. But I dont understand this:
Note: Before installing the driveshafts, place an "O-Ring" (included) inside of each outdrive cup.

O-rings in drivecups reduces dogbones/c.v.d's slop.

Whats the driveshaft and outdrivecup in a mini lst?

Depends on what you need. My co-worker's RC18T left me in the dust in the parking lot, but then his got stuck when I drove my MLST2 onto grass.

mini lst
I bought a mini lst for my son to run,this thing is awsome,it is truely unstopable,he runs it outside and it goes any way he points it,you can buy any upgrade you want for it,and most hobby shops keep parts in stock.
The only thing that I have seen a problem with is the stock steering servos,upgrade to a set of hitec or jr and you should be fine,I did the Exotek single servo conversion,it looks and works great.

I did mine with the Exotek too. Come to think about it now, I should have just go with a pair of jr instead. The Exotek makes it steers better because I got more torque out of a standard size servo, however it makes the MLST2 heavier at the front, so now it does less wheelies then before (which wheelies are always fun for bashing).

mini lst
Yeah wheelies are fun,but this is my 4 year old son's truck,so the more tires on the ground the better,I put in a Mamba 5400 brushless,vicous diffs,cv axles,aluminum tranny and diff cases,titanium shocks,Exotec servo kit,sway bars,and the list goes on from there.I also have a Mamba 8000 waiting to go on it,but thats for me not him.

5400 kv might be better. I tried the 8000kv but it got too hot, like ~200F...so I took it out. So watch out for the temp if you wanna try 8000kv. Don't wanna demagnetize the motor then set the ESC on fire. Trust me, it wasn't fun. :|

Thanks for the info,it really is my son's truck,he got it for his birthday in March,a couple of weeks ago it burned up,so I started the upgrades,he also has an all aluminum Savage nitro,he got that from Santa this year.He truely is a basher,I have the parts receipts to prove it
