Did he ever decide.
I have to talk up the LSP, since I own one and have owned many other truggies in the past. But no matter what truck you buy it is all in the hand of driver. Vehicle and set up play a role, but it is mostly driver. And you must finish to win.
All above had good comments, and I have seen and raced against MX Kevin and I have also raced against another ST at Glitchers. AT Glitchers the truck was plagued with probs, not downing the truck it very well could have been set up and driver. Kevin ran his well, but I am a fan of the larger wheelbase, It suits my driving style. As far as the ST being the truck to beat at LH that remains to be seen, but I remember at our spring shoot out two LSP's (Eric and Joe T) flying around the small LH track. So I believe the LSP will hold its own this winter. But my opinion as biased.
The only thing I have to disagree with is the comment that the mayhems stock engine can run with the novarossi 28. Most here have seen mine run and it is insanely fast, I had to detune the engine so much just so that it is contolable. At the last race after the 10 mnute a main on an empty tank the engine temped at 170. Not to mention the incredible amount of wheel spin I had a the DD track. This will not happen this weekend, got a new set of tires en route as we speak.....
I also agree with Kevins rational about having the buggy and the ST so the parts are interchangeable I enjoyed that when I had the 3 k cars. It is cheaper and easier that way.
Either truck is good, look at product support and what the locals are running since you will have a better chance of borrowing something trackside.
Sorry about the book, have been away for a week, so need to fill my post qouta.
