Yah, I agree. Maybe 'till the holidays next year, lol. :005: Wouldn't that be nice.

Damn, I wish I saw that before I paid $250 on Ebay for a used Hyper 8! Oh well, the Revo will have to serve the ~MT purpose.

I would probably want the tires for the most part...

i thought HB had something coming up for the truggy scene.
just a feelin i had.
so if there doing dumping-prices now it must be right.

I can probably sell the tires to you. I plan on putting something like Badlands on mine when I get it. I'll be running primarily in a very low cut grass, so the stock tires won't do me much good.

I am still waiting for my jammin crt but think I may pick ones of these up anyway! thanks

I read on the local track's forum that HB will stop producing the LSP as well as parts for it, which explains the price drop. I'll see if I can find the post that contained that information. Otherwise, this post is null.

EDIT:
Found the post. It's here:

I think that there supposed to be coming out with a newer model. About like the Lightining 2 buggy...I think they said it was supposed to be out by the fall.

Skellyo, that sounds good to me. I love the stock tires. They work great for some surfaces. I don't even need the rims, or inserts. Only thing is the set I have now is glued to 14mm rims, and I can only use 23mm rims since I did the 8mm axle conversion. I to plan on getting a set of Badlands for mine as well. Let me know how they do.

Are the parts gonna be interchangable with the newer truggy? I hope HB will still supply parts for the LSP!

I am guessing that they would be interchangable, because otherwise, I would be guessing that Hot Bodies would get a lot of complaints from people that have the lightning right now, and have no parts to fix the broken ones.

I'm guessing some will be, but not all.

For any of you that were thinking about the LSP-R while it was on special, Ultimate Hobbies has pulled all of their specials on HB products. The LSP-R is back to the normal $439.95 price now.

I guess I spoke too soon. They are back on special again now. I guess they were just in process of changing up their specials page at the time I checked earlier today.

Too bad they dont ship to Canada :(

Small update...

Received my Trakpower packs last week...ordered a 4th Trakpower pack today so I can do 2 runs sequentially.

With the help of Sylvester, I now have a bunch of hop up parts on the way...better caster blocks, steering links and CVD's.

And silly me went and bought a 2nd LSP-R just because they were so cheap and I had a spare MM I could use in it. Now I have to pick out a motor for this one.
