I agree. The first run LST's had a lot of durability issues, but with Drake's (and other drivers) feedback, Losi did a great job of correcting this with the LST2. Proof is in the standings. Before, the LST was getting destroyed on the track, now Drake is 1st A-main with the LST2.

I was one of those "Casualties". The LST would do great while warming up, but as soon as they started the timer, SNAP There went something. I really liked the LST when I had it, but the durability issues forced me to sell it. I now have a LST2, and the only thing that has broken on it, is a fuel tank, from a BAD landing off a quarterpipe at the skatepark. The A-arms, C-hubs and Axles (The main problems with the first LST) are all beefed up and a LOT stronger now.
I'll keep my God, my freedom, my guns, and my money. You can keep "THE CHANGE."
