if anyone has a NEW LOSI or rdlogic polished pipe, lmk. Thx for watching

truck looks immaculate man! beautiful piece! yeah its crazy the change in availability, though i have been able to find most of the pieces i need semi easily, few parts that are specific to nitro are getting pretty hard to find though, like the flywheel/collet, and pipe. ive been on the hunt for a LST2 pipe as well. only have been able to find the LST1. i will say the Ofna Jammin JP-3 pipe does pair well with the engines i am running.
in Losi215's build thread he did find a good combo for his using a Novarossi pipe and on-road header, looks really nice as well.

Looking forward to seeing more people doing the same.

Love the LST machines!

really hoping more people will start running these rigs, they are really great, durable, versatile, and just plain fun.
really would like to see Losi re-release them.

I just got my small block lst running still breaking in the engine and it’s fast and nimble almost like driving a buggy, it’s insane !

no update on this truck sadly, stil havent been able to run with the new shock setup on it.
was able to run the other LST, but issues arose, still trying to figure out exactly what is going wrong.
