Well I took her to a consturction site today. There where some decent jumps and tons of rough terrian. I made sure both batteries where fully charged. And it was tearing up the dirt like no body buisness. I 'm mean it was awesome. Took some jumps I built very well, and didn't flip once, it did have a tendency to nose dive but just a throttle and the nose stays up. It is fast in the dirt, very stable. I did a full inspection after the run, and everything was still in place. Nothing lose, no broken parts, and no bent parts, did wear some of the tire down, and chipped the chrome on the front right rim, but I was driving hard. I'm telling you Losi has created the great 1/18th monster truck, and I'm normally an AE guy too, but RC18Mt could hold a candle to this one. But I feel that the Mini-LST is in a class of it's own.
