From what ive seen, my mayhem will grab every inside corner where the lsp need to brake slide to stick it tight. Extended chassis are great for roughf fast outdoor tracks, I think the Mayhem will rule the indoor sceen. 3 races with it so far, DNF for first, 3rd for second race and 2nd. to John Adams in my third race. Third race was a tight track. John Drives a LSP and is a great driver.
My .26 is just as fast as those with 528 NOV.. Maybe I got a good one, lucky me.. I dont think anyone runnung a lsp has a stock motor in it. The Mayhem does have long arms and super forgiving suspension. The only suspension adjustment ive done so far is giving it toe out. Its came with toe in.
Mayhem also shares alot of the same parts as the buggy so durability shouldnt be a problem (Bearings, Diffs.,Chassis, ect. Diffrent pinion gear tho) I have broke rear arms. Correction, I broke 1 arm first time out, Lance broke the other tryen it out after a race, but $9 for two isnt bad and there interchangeble from left to right. Stock shock tower are on the weak side, but the wing I installed helps protect the rear one.
Mods... The stock body and tires have to go. That square box body is butt ugly. Tires should not be alowed on a race track. I peeled them off since they wernt glued that well and put on a sey of Bow Ties. I also put on the extended motor mounts and Chassis stiffeners, and replaced steering and brake cam bushings with bearings. Also changed the center diff oil to 50,000wt.. Ever see a truggy wheely? Ill probably bring that down to 30,000wt. Also changed the plastic radio tray standoffs to aluminum. And the Tray itself to carbon fiber for some Bling Bling. Jr 8800t servo for steering.
All in all im pretty happy so far and think only my driving is keeping me from 1st place. If your planning on racen, and racen indoors at Leisure Hours, Get a LSP
