I assume you mean the limited edition mini LST2?

i have one and because of the big tires and massive speed of this truck (for it's size)
when you smash into some thing that forses a tire to turn, it tends to strip out the gears of the super tiny servos.
it's like any rc...if you tend to drive them easy...yah right...they might hold up.
best bet is try and find a pair of high torque metal gear replacements that will fit the stock servo horn.
i haven't changed mine yet, the stock ones lasted three packs and the truck just looks cool sitting still any ways.

People seem to burn threw the stock servos pretty quickly. Either upgrade to a couple metal geared mini servos, or Exotek makes a $$$$ single servo chassis for around 80$

If it was me, I'd figure out how to mount a Z590 or other inexpensive servo myself.....

Couple of these might do the trick...would have to measure the stock servos just to make sure these would fit.

A coupple of Hitek HS65mg and 2 RC18 servo savers (Hitek version) will do the job and make the difference. :cool:
