I just happen to be looking for a Mini-T ARR, and went into HobbyTown is St.Charles to talk to Joe about what version of the Mini-T to get. The RTR or PRO. And as I walked in he said guess what we got, the new Mini LST. I was like cool, very cool. One look at the box and said what the heck and bought it. This truck is great very fast agiale, me and Joe where running in store test it out. It has 4WD, oild filled shock, seperate ESC and receiver. A 2 channel 27mHz FM 6 frequ. syntheized(sp?) radio. Dual 370 motors, and large chrome 5-spoke chrome rims, with decent monster truck style tire with foam inserts. Dual steering servoes. I think Losi has another hit on their hands. Its is about 2 and 1/2 inches taller than the 18T and about and 1/2 inche longer. I think me is goinf to have as much fun with guy as my 18T. I need to find some jumps and dirt!!!!!!
Here are a few pictures:

Yeah I had but some cash aside for it, I'm going to take it to where they are building some new homes tomorrow, to see how well it handles it. But from the vidoe I saw at the Losi site, I think it will very cool, I mean when I was shooting up and down aisle at Hobbytown, I could get any real traction because of the cement floor. I have my freind take pictures and video of my bashing and post it up. I'm curiuos waht type of hop-ups they are going to have for this one.

I was wondering what the runtime was with it, being that it has 2 motors. 1/2 the time, right?
Has anyone gotten their XBOX360 yet?

Well i had it going for about 20 minutes last night on the 7.2V 1100 mAh battery, actually about 50 minutes ( I have two batteries). Today since no work, I was going to head to where they are building some homes by me and see how it handles, but I think it might be a little sluggish bieng it like 30 degrees outside but we will see. As for xbox 360, I want one but can't justify the cost right now(for the amount of regualr xbox I play, once or twice a week), I'm waiting like 6 months and I gauerntee the price drops big time.

The truck ran pretty good in the store (I loaned him one of my Mini-T batteries while I charged one of his up on my Losi Peak charger.) The candy red looks even better in person, I'm not a fan of red paint but it just looks that just good! I photocopied the blow ups so we have a copy at the store and discovered that the trans is a Mini-T trans complete with 3 gear diff in a different case so a Ball diff would fit in there and they'r going to offer a Spool for the center diff too. That spool should fit in a Mini-T as well!

Well took the Mini-LST to the construction site, and man it tore up the dirt. It handle jumps very well, didn't flip it once, but came close. It likes to nose dive, but give it a little throttle and the nose stays up. So it was a successful off-road test. Still got some decent battery life, I was able to run for almost 45 minute with the battery packs.

Well a little update on the Mini-LST, after reading a review in R/C Car Action of the MLST,they had added the Mini-T ball diff to the center tranny to imporve traction and speed. So I went out and picked one up and installed it. And sure enough the MLST in a heck of lot quicker and the power is more evenly distrubuted to all four wheels, and I'm getting excellent traction. And no loss of steering. So for anybidy who has the MLST add the ball diff, itamust hop-up.

Yea, Zack showed me that yesterday when he got in, looks like it makes a big difference in it.

It took me 15 minutes to change out the diff on the MLST, but took me 4 hours to add the aluminum parts to my 18T( had to file some parts for fit)
