Don't know that truck. But the LRP ZR.30X is AWESOME in my LST2. IMO the truggy version with the closed backplate is worth the money. You then have to buy the pullstart backplate, and put a rotostart plate on it or whatever you want.

To be clear - there are two LRP 30 versions, one with a pullstart, one with a closed backplate. You want the latter, but with the pullstart backplate from the former. The truggy/closed backplate version has a better carb, and possibly even more power from different porting(Don't quote me on that - have heard different things.. The carb IS better though..) It's pretty crazy in my LST2..

It's also VERY user-friendly. Nice break-in, keeps a tune, not finicky, etc.

It costs a bit more in time, money, and hassle having to buy the extra backplate, but it's worth it IMHO.
