I just took my basher out for a spin - probably second time this year... And man it was a blast. Big Red 28, ran a bit fat and hot, but man low maintenance and with those huge two-ton stock wheels, the truck gets up and goes on top-end.. Gets this like freight train momentum, which with the whining engine is just cool.. Was good fun. And yeah, the 2-speed was part of it... But yeah, my 2nd LST2 is just for the track anyway, so the 2-speed is no big deal.

My basher btw is nearing four years old.. Somewhere north of 10 gallons.., and very little has been replaced.. - including the 2-speed I think.
