OK I know you guys are out there since I see your threads on other sites. How about some of you vetereans sharing some tips with the newer Losi MT drivers?
I was out at Glamis, Ca which is a really cool desert/dunes type deal almost to the Mexico border, and was amazed at what some of you guys were doing with your LST and Aftershock models. Seems like when it is too hot to ride the dunes a lot of you like to roost the neibors!
So let everyone else know some of your favorite bashing sites - you might find there are some fellow bashers out there in your neck of the woods.
Also let us know what you would like to see - no promises but we'll do our best.
When in doubt..... Punch it!

Hello Gary,
My boys and I beat the crap out of our trucks around the the farm, on the home track and racing whenever possible.

What I am waiting for is a Losi 1/8 Nitro 4x4 SCT! OH YEA!!!

By the way,
My son has one of the very first LST's and has logged a ton of hours with it. Him and his friends have beat the livin' snoot out it and outside of a broken arm and worn out clutch shoes and tires of course it hasn't missed a beat. Same motor and all. I keep waiting to hear that the motor "suddenly stopped and won't turn" over since my son likes to run it a lot more than maintain it. I'm sure none of you have experienced this .... right?
Keep on bashing.

I had tons of fun out of my LST and LST2 when I had them. A year passed and I got a XXL regretting ever selling my LST's. The XXL however did give me some grief. Bad 2speed cam meant it slipped in 1st gear after two tanks, and the reverse servo died about the same time.

Losi did good by me, got a new OWB(thought that was the culprit at the time) and a z650 servo in the mail 10 days after contacting them.

This is one of the reasons I stay with Losi, even if parts are a little hard to come by in DK. Losi hasn't been that popular over here, but with this season there has been a flood of 8ight truggys and buggys on the racing scene. :cool:
