grave digger is back!!!!

sell me your truck!!! wanna trade for one?

They're locked up in the basement for a rainy day!

The whole thing is kind of a sore subject for me. I stopped racing MTs when a good friend who ran our racing club passed away suddenly. Those trucks are sentimental to me because of the experiences my kids and I had with him. I flip through RCs like crazy but those trucks will never leave me.

when a kit is offered manufactures have a tendency of making them a hopped up version. like the kit has to be better mechanically than the RTR out of the box. which means it cost to much. i think the LMT-1 (are we calling it that yet?) was guilty of that.

That LMT was guilty of being marketed as a "super limited" "race kit" when, in reality, it was neither of those things. It was such a joke in the racing community. The 15" wheelbase wasn't even legal for the biggest classes in the biggest racing clubs, at the time. Losi said they were giving the racers what they asked for....no racers asked for (or wanted) a BS bolt on roll cage, huge aluminum wheelie bump stop, or flag mount. And the upgraded aluminum parts they offered in the kit (the rear lockouts) were known axle destroyers.

If I sounds like a hater, it's because I am. I was so excited to hear about a kit coming...and then it was THAT.

I looked at the TLR kit a couple months back when they could be had for $370 on Amazon, but nearly every review I found had bad things to say about the lack of quality control... that and the longer wheelbase vs the standard Digger models gave me pause.

Ironically this LMT 2.0 is also a 15 inch wheelbase haha

As for upgrades on this one vs the LMT 1.0 - from looking at what they've done upgrading to have the same stuff as what they've done would be pretty intensive - maybe your $750 in upgrades on an existing truck vs a new 2.0 would be better served that way but from watching the Horizon deepdive into the new truck there are quite a lot of things different between the two trucks beyond just the SMART gyro / receiver system.

I’ve tried to look up part numbers , I can’t determine if axles are interchangeable with the original digger I’ve got three of these things but want to switch the treal parts to the new one just can’t get it figgered
