The RD at one of the local tracks won't let truggy's run on the track with anything but the 1/8 buggies. I couldn't see where the problem was, none of the racer's minded and the one revo running didn't give anything up as far as top speed, he was actually faster on the back straight, was running a new os .18

Don't think I'll ever be going back to that track...... just cause I lapped the field four times

they don't wanna let me play!

stonesavage · #**1477** 04-03-2005, 09:43 PM

ask this rd if you can run a ofna monster pirate or xtm mammoth!! there both truggy's n the MP has been racing( with out complaint) since 2000!!

lapped the field 4x.. LOL.. thats great... how did it fair against the buggies though?

Monsterbrad · #**1479** 04-04-2005, 10:48 AM

From the small track that i Race at I can see the buggies being faster cause they can turn just a little better and they don't have the big tires to deal with.
Komodos will make that better but this things size kinda works against it I think.
Still the Best Racer in my mind though for the monster class.
1/8 scale buggies are not anywhere close to a truggy class in my mind.

CRSMP5 · #**1480** 04-04-2005, 09:27 PM

ive seen too many track records broken with the truggy... which means they killing 1/8th scale mb..

It actually does better against the buggies, I didn't race against them at the track that banned my truggy, but at the other local track I play on, which is really rough in sections, it just floats right on through where the buggies have to slow down or flip. I normally run better lap times with my LSP on that track.

Hi guys, I know this question most have been answered or asked a lot, but I really didn't want to read 60 pages. I ordered LSP from my hobby shop. I was wondering he said it would be a while before it would come in. Is there anything thing I should put on it besides an engine any hop ups that it really needs or parts that I should change. Appreciate any help.

CRSMP5 · #**1483** 04-05-2005, 08:53 AM

http://www.hotbodiesforum.com/ take a look at the index in the stadium section there.. i have it all mapped out..

Monsterbrad · #**1484** 04-05-2005, 06:21 PM

Well just off the top of my head!
Change the diff oils
I like
120,000 wt center
50 front
stock rear
Chassis braces
wheels and tires
air cleaner if you want (motor saver)
I am sure I am missing alot!

rc10bob · #**1487** 04-06-2005, 01:53 AM

Monsterbrad, there's that much wrong with the truck, from what I hear I thought I was buying a good truck, is it be course its two new, and things have to be changed I just order it, anyway thanks for the comeback.

doesgo · #**1488** 04-06-2005, 02:21 AM

MB's is a pretty small list of things to do to make it race-worthy! You ARE buying a good truck, but no truck is perfect for everyone right out of the box. You can race it stock, MB's just suggesting some things he's found to be helpful. Wheels, tires, and diff oil will probably need to be changed to suit your track and driving style no matter what vehicle you buy. That's a given.

Monsterbrad · #**1489** 04-06-2005, 05:49 PM

I should say that I ran the truck completely stock for about a gallon.
Only added the chassis braces in that amount of time.
Changed the engine over to the Mach but I am having problems with the clutch but that is fixable with Mugen shoes and .9 springs just lazy and have not raced in a month.
Has anybody tried the Aluminum Mugen shoes???????
I have been told they are awesome!

doesgo · #**1490** 04-06-2005, 06:58 PM

I've got the Mugen aluminum shoes on my LST, SUT, and I think one other vehicle (can't remember which, though). Yeah, they're great! I've got 1.1 springs on the LST (that's all I had at the time) and 1.0 on the SUT, both work great.

stonesavage · #**1491** 04-06-2005, 07:01 PM

I melted my mugens lasted bout 10 tanks but i was using 1.0 springs sinced switched to mugen composite ! m.b check out the new sut se rtr c/w new longer chassis (fironi style h pins)pro 4mm towers/pro draglink/roto start/new front shocks(med)ect...

DANNY WENZEL · #**1492** 04-06-2005, 08:07 PM

Monsterbrad · #**1496** 04-06-2005, 09:19 PM

Would like to get a closer look.
I was just not pleased with the SUT.
It was a great truck but there were little things.
THe LSP here is just a little better!

mkenm · #**1500** 04-10-2005, 04:21 AM

Not sure what to ask for it.
