If losi makes a bl lst, we will have a winner. Honestly, tdr makes a single speed adapter and a motor mount. Swap in the FOC kit losi makes and you have a solid super smooth single speed tranny and motor brakes. Ditch the brake and reverse servos and there is good room for a battery tray. Much stronger than a revo or maxx, strongest drivestrain I have seen, plus it has the motor mounted transversely which cures torque twist.
I have converted all of the above and the savvy is going up for sale soon. I will keep the flm savvy, but I need the bulks flm sells, I have fixed too many savage diffs. At least the X cases are easier to open, but not as easy as the lst. The lst does not need easy to access diffs, casue once they are in the al cases they are done till they wear out. If you run 40 series wheels/tires they will be fine, if you run std mt stuff they will last forever. No better truck, and no need to upgrade the lst2. Maybe rpm arms, but I dislike the use of the original lst rpm arms with shims to fill the wider hubs of the lst2.

I Have the same feelings as you. I have had a t-maxx, both emaxxs, a savage, an e-savage, the E-lst2, and the e-revo. I had the lst2 finedesigns conversion and loved it. It was the strongest truck I have owned(sold it b/c I needed the money and it needed an overhall after 2 1/2 years of abuse). Second would be the savage for streangth( except I had issues with the diffs and tranny gears when I went brushless)(thats why I sold it) A close third would be the e-revo(driveshafts and rear bulks suck). I put mip cvds on it and so far so good. Holding up to brushless very well!
