BTW I didn't say a LST handles like a car, they don't. Neither does a Savage, nor a Revo. I was trying to convey to the OP that it's been my experience that people driving a savage for the first time are usually surprised at how poorly they handle. It's as if they expect them to handle more like a car. I must admit I don't have any experience with the XXL, but I'm glad to hear they made some changes. Long time coming.
The LST2 and LST XXL have different wheelbases and offset track, the XXL is a much more stable animal.
