In 2015 I bought a LST XXL roller and have since made custom cf chassis components go get it to be electric and lst2-spec. I race it when I get a chance and still love the truck. Losi recently discontinued the platform from what I’ve gathered, and parts support is starting to dry up. I will keep driving this truck until I can’t, and then it’ll be up on a shelf forever. I painted a LST Racer body for mine and I have two clear ones as backups, and another super rare item I have for them is the Losi 15° spindle carriers. Truck handles good on medium to high grip tracks!!
I have 2 of these. One will be a shelf queen and the other I'm going to be building up here soon to run. Can't wait to drive mine. I wanted one when they came out but the hobby shop I worked at was closing and I didn't have the money. Ended up getting 2 of them years later. Nice vid. Like seeing these older reviews and hearing some behind the scenes stories from the golden era of Car Action.
I ended with a LST that a guy named Bob that owned a hobby shop built. He ended up putting a 454 in it and the guy ended up passing away. Kind of a neat story for my first nitro car.
I just opened up my RUclips and seen this, sick to see your still in the game Kevin, I’m 23 now and I remember you from back when I was around 10 years old, keep up the excellent work your a pioneer in the hobby!
Oh man awesome. I still have my LST and the LST 2. I got the blue bodied one and I’ve taken amazing care of them. They’ve been in storage for 8 years and the LST 2 started right up. I was so happy, but not surprised. Now the LST carburetor is stuck, but I’ll get to work on it this weekend freeing it up. They are both all completely original and I’m so proud of that. There’s a hobby shop about 50 minutes away that actually has a bunch of spare original parts for both and I’m going there to wipe them out…lol Like you said just in case because parts are hard to find.
Yeah man! Got the carburetor unstuck and literally it started up in 2 seconds and I didn’t even have to prime it. Really a credit to the Losi Engineering back in the early 2000’s. My son and I took my all original LST & LST 2 out this past weekend and had so much fun running them. We put 3 tanks through each and then cleaned them up to have them ready the next time we want to take them out.
My 2nd favourite nitro platform of all time! been workin on my raminator lately to get it back up to snuff. Any ideas on where in the heck im gonna find an origanl losi raminator body? It HAS to match my mini lst raminator!
Some guy last year was actually selling an unused still brand new blue body, but the dude wouldn’t budge off his $125 asking price….Ugh! My body isn’t in bad shape, but I would of liked to have a brand new one….Oh well
Going for almost 550.00$ to 6 for Mint ones now on ebay ! The blue body one your speaking of , I got a Losi 5ive T 2.0 but I want a OG 1st gen LST to learn more about the smaller Nitro models
@@kevsbench01 so awesome, I have been into RC trucks for 25years had years of issues of magazines and your testing was always my favorite part. Thank you for all you have done for our hobby. It's awesome to talk to you. Hope you have a great day
Boy o boy.. I sure wish losi would bring these back
That’s a cool LST. Awesome story!
OMG AHHHHHH is that a TXT-1 in the background! Im so jealous!
