please dont take it the wrong way,the revo held its own but he was getting pulled on the straight.there is no other truck on the market like the lst id like the revo but look what you have to do to it to have it hang with the lst or others.280-290....wow thats hot,during the race with the revo we had a 10 min main when all was said and done the revo came in at 274 giving everything it had,the lst 201 it hadnt even broke a sweat.

now maybe your racing in a more competitive arena than we are thats why i said at our track.

but the one thing i will give the revo this guy had is it was all business no bs on it at all and it did sound wicked coming down the stretch.

right now at our track,in monster truck anyway the lst hands down is the truck to have to compete.

2 weeks ago there was a sponsored driver who came down with his revo and dropped a OS18tz in it it looked and sounded like a stadium truck on steroids,dont get me wrong it was fast and spooled forever and a day but he was still pulled on the straight by a bone stock lst(no engine mods pipe,etc.)
and thats running 20% trinity platnium the revo was runnin byrons 30%.

What kind of money is it going to be? And is the liner genuine chrome plated or is it nickel plated?

There was a picture which showed 23,940 yen, and it converts to $217. I'm assuming it should be below $250.

Was this in Fresno? I'm in Bakersfield, so it's not much of a far drive. How's the track?

Well, much as I like the Revo - the stock versions, whilst nimble and responsive were very softly sprung and lacked any real punch coming out of corners. All have since upgraded the 2.5 engine for big blocks. I'm afraid the modified Savages and MGTs are still much quicker around our track. It depends largely on the drivers, the track surface/s and the track layout.

The LST's are impressive machines too (good straight line speed!!), but the examples we've had at our track have been plagued with engine related problems. If I were to buy another MT, I think it would probably be the LST, but I'd invest in an after market engine and keep the M 26 as a spare.

This OS engine is interesting, but I'd like to know a little bit more about the liner.
