I have a feeling that ultimately the revo is a better track vehicle - if the track is well groomed. However the lst2 just blows it away for durability, and rough surface handling. Plus it is bigger, and just better made. It can handle big heavy tires, and big brushless power bone stock.

I can only think of 1 better vehicle for mixed bashing and racing and that would be the muggy, however it is a truggy and thus would not be allowed to compete in some MT classes.

There are only 2 upgrades that need to be done to the lst2. Al front knuckles from new era, and rpm arms. I have not broken an arm, but I did break a knuckle where the steering tierod attaches. The dual serco steering does bother me a bit, but there are some cheap fixes to keep it working at peak performance. Eyeball lstforums, tons of info there to make the lst bulletproof.

Plus the dude's stuff is top notch. A bit pricey, but you get very well made and engineered parts, and the market for them is not huge, so you do have to pay a bit for that factor. He is also a great guy, and is more than willing to give as much time is needed to help you out. The hobby needs more people like him and Mike, and Steven over at OSE.
