Picked up a new LX2 last week just for bashing around. Going in I knew the servos were junk and would have to be replaced lol. I was hoping they would last through breakin. NOPE the throttle/brake servo went up in smoke first start (after setting end points). Replaced both with new spare traxxas servos I already had. Then the steering wouldn't respond. Tracked it down to the rx... squeezing the receiver between my fingers it started working lolz 
Then the battery plug on the power switch fell off 
I replaced it with a REVO power switch that has the charge port... much better anyway!
During the first tank it would run 15' then die starving for fuel. I had to back out the LSN 6 to 7 turns just to keep it running... this aint at all right
On the second tank the spring that centers the wheel on the transmitter broke, making it hard to control, so I ceased the breakin procedure :\ e-mailed dave@ofna he said "send us the radio and I'll send you another".
Honestly it's junk not worth the postage. So I just replaced it with a new Flysky GT3B.
So today I was all set to finish the breakin (traxxas method). So I'm on the 3rd tank 1/2 throttle 3 seconds, engine still starving so I back out the LSN even more. It helped a little but it just wouldn't keep delivering enough fuel to keep it running. Replaced fuel lines same issue :\ It's got to be the tank. Rigged and zipp tied in a T-Maxx tank, reset both needles to factory settings... BINGO got through breakin running and idling great
Messed with the OFNA tank pushing compressed air through all the orifices. The lid is sealed fine no leaks and pops open with enough air pressure. Sucking through the fuel inlet hose it's hard to draw any air. Reinstalled (left the carb alone) sure enough it starves and shuts down during acceleration :\ A new tank from e-bay is only $10... but this LX2 new out of the box RTR has cost me around $85 extra (not counting the hassle or the hump pack)
You'd think the darn thing would at least make it through breakin :chinese:
Wish I'd of just bought a kit instead of this RTR
My week old new parts graveyard
(tried to fix the radios wheel spring, no go broken plastic part)
