Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Land Models / March 2007Still got my lst2
Hi Guys Havent been around here for a while, ive still got my lst2 http://users.on.net/~annecarl/IMG_4724.jpg only mods ive done is the new era roll bar cause i always run it without the shell its been a great truck so far. :) its a lil muddy in the pic i took it to a construction site a week after a heap of rain still puddles everywhere, all the piles of dirt which are excellent jumps with soft dirt for bad landings had turned into thick grass so all i could do was drive it around on the flats which got pretty boring very quickly. Ill be upgrading to rpm arms all round and an sts .30 when ive got some spare money im sick of snapping the plastic ones thought i'd say hi.... Hi :) > Hi Guys > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > thought i'd say hi.... Hi :) Happy you're enjoying it dude, LST2s seem to only get praise. I'd from personal experience though, really, strongly, recommend against an STS .30. Spend the extra on an decent brand, it's worth it for the hassle and irritation an el-cheapo engine can cause. Think, OS .30 etc IMHO...  SignatureDan Formerly DanTXD I havent heard anything bad about the sts .30 I think i remember one of your posts where you had heaps of problems with it, did you remove the extra head shims? aparently they come with like 4 shims, after run in your suppost to remove them or the engine runs like crap. They receive alot of good comments on lstforums, ill look into other motors tho maybe a pico .28 >I havent heard anything bad about the sts .30 Well, reviews of the .28 are quite mixed I find, a lot of people liked them, but quite a few people also highlight the cheap build quality - but then you do really get what you pay for with engines IME. > I think i remember one of your posts where you had heaps of problems > with it, did you remove the extra head shims? aparently they come with > like 4 shims, after run in your suppost to remove them or the engine > runs like crap. Heh, no I got mad and sold it :-) > They receive alot of good comments on lstforums, ill look into other > motors tho maybe a pico .28 Doc will be along shortly to recommend the SportWerks thingy hehe.

Doc > Hi Guys > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > thought i'd say hi.... Hi :) I'm the same haven't been on here for a long time, been busy changing jobs and getting back into racing. Mainly 1/10 EP 2WD truck. Got a question for you. How does the motor run in the hot temps with the top of the head/heatsink sideways? See this photo and the one above: http://users.on.net/~annecarl/IMG_3366.jpg Cheers > I'm the same haven't been on here for a long time, been busy changing jobs > and getting back into racing. Mainly 1/10 EP 2WD truck. ive also got myself an rc heli, 2 actually they are heaps of fun. my first was a piccoo z cheap remake, whole heli weighs 10 grams its an inside flyer only. my other is an esky lama v3 its a coaxial mini heli its small enough to fly inside can also fly outside but it doesnt take much breeze to disturb it. > Got a question for you.

See this photo and the one above:http://users.on.net/~annecarl/IMG_3366.jpg yeh i noticed that after assembly it didnt make any difference its only the little fins on the top that are facing the wrong way rest is ok. I havent really driven it that much since i pulled the engine apart cleaned it up maybe 5 complete tanks. Has anyone used an o-ring as a header gasket instead of the proper ones? i ripped 2 of them, then i found an oring that fitted perfectly i dont appear to have lost any performace and it now wont break. found these sorting thru some pics not very clear, my lst jumping a dodgy jump i made http://users.on.net/~annecarl/IMG_4268.jpg http://users.on.net/~annecarl/IMG_4262.jpg i couldnt hit the damb thing in a straight line so these jumps are only about half speed |
