I know, it sounds rude, but that's the name on the bodyshell.
Originally, it was based on the first Losi LST, and used the same chassis as the Aftershock.
Mine's completely rebuilt, with alloy and carbon everything, running a ZR30 Spec2 LRP nitro engine.
One of the many retro fits I've made is to replace the one way gearbox with the LST/LST2 gearbox, with high/low range and reverse.
All of the arms are Dynamite red alloy - to match the bodyshell, bulkheads and body mounts, and it's 'LST2 spec', which basically is a little larger and heavier duty than the LST spec, and the rears are fixed geometry - which suits me fine.
I had some problems recently and it wasn't sounding right, so I pulled it apart and replaced all tubing and seals, and all seems fine ....
The ZR30 has had probably 15-18 tanks through it but is still tough .... shame that when I believed it had croaked, it took the opportunity to locate a ZR32 Spec2 for 150 Euros in Finland - same price as the best price in USA, and avoiding the famous added VAT and Post Office 'Handling Charge' - NICE!!
This will have to gather dust a while longer until it finally croaks, then I'll insert the new BEAST - and it is!!
5.2cc sounds nothing on this Forum, but with 25% nitro methane in the mix, IT GOES!
