The LST is a solid Monster but it does have things to look out for.
First: Either remove and seal or do not use the primer plunger. That is the number one source of an air leak in the LST.
Second: Ditch the "AA" battery box and use a receiver pack. By doing so you can go to the high-capacity fuel tank and get extra runtime.
Third: If the stock fuel filter is still routed next to the head reroute it away. The filter acts like a big heat sink and you will cook the fuel and vapor lock the mill.
Fourth: Sway bars are a great addition to the truck.
Fifth: The stock body is way thin. You will tear it up in no time if you bash it at all.
