hey guys i kinda need a lil help deciding what to do...i've had 3 offers on my truck today...one is a lst2 with lots of aluminum....the other is a jato 3.3 heavily upgraded and the third is tmaxx96's tmaxx....i'm not really that into t-maxx's so i think it's between the jato and the lst2..i just can't decide lol...i want a lst but both trucks are mint..

here are some pic's of both trucks:

Jato 3.3:
i don't have links for the pictures so i hope i can post this: http://thetoyz.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=20894

please help a guy who can't make up his mind lmao

and one other thing the LST would be a roller....jato rtr exepct radio
 
but, their nitro? lol jk. the first looks pretty good, dont know anything about them. i have had a tmaxx as well as all of my buddies and i wouldnt wish one of them on my worst enemy lol and i know nothing about Jato's but arent they supposed to be geared pretty fast?
 
ya jato's are supposed to be stupid fast...they both look really good i just can't decide lol....and how does BL conversion sound??..lmao jk i love nitro
 
None of the above. That LST has way too much aluminum IMO. same thing with the jato.

And the tmaxx....uhhhh....no way.
 
ya i'm geting rid of it...just need something new...i'm not looking forward to seeing the pacage go over the counter this weekend but i'm deffinatly looking forward to seeing the new one come....

i also just found out that he is going to include a mach .28 making it rtr as soon as i pull it outa the box!!...yay..
 
You may not have to ditch much on the LST2. The front upper A arms need to go (and the bottom too if they are aluminum). The back look stock. So do the shock towers. Looks like the bumpers and skids are aluminum but that ain't an issue.

Dang, the rear lower A arms are aluminum but not the uppers???
 
ya i think i'm probobly going to end up ahead on this one..(which would be nice)..what ever i change i'll sell and get a lil back...i'm not sure on the quality of mach .28's so i'll probobly change that sooner or later too..it should be pretty good though..

BTW: is it possible to have my user name changed??..i think it would be kinda dumb now that i don't have a mgt8.0 lol
 
LST's are good trucks if they are set up properly. Ditch the al. for some rpm plastics, add some sway bars and you'll have a truck that can race or bash.
 
I would say you made a good choice. I have a Jato 3.3 and it is fun but it is pretty limited. Stupid fast...more power than can be used for sure. However, the LST2 will just do more for you IMO. And the T-maxx deal...um yeah, would not be justice for you. Like every one said already ditch the bling arms.
 
ya it's set now...i'm taking my truck down to the LHS today to get it tuned and running good then i'm pacaging it up and shipping it out....i should probobly go put that in my FS thread lol..
 
no it's coming with a mach .28...i wish the LRP was coming with it but he wanted $150 ontop of my truck lol....that LRP has never been started
