errmm stop now springs to mind but i guess id better explain abit more

the drivechain in a mini LST is hard pushed to stand up to the stock motors it takes alot of messing to get them to with stand it upgraded brushed or mcro brushless motors are out of the question for any leangth of time

my mini LST has been in the corner of the room since early may because i had only ever manged to get one battery pack through it without it breaking running a 3 cell lipo and a hyperion 6k motor (its the diff pinions that break)

As far as resonable upgrades go there arnt any some1 called B&S made some locked diffs but aparently they arnt much better Although driven productions have promised there gears are being manufactured as i speak on all three of there machines they havent done much but so far have come up with top products

i would recomend getting a mini LST i like mine and itll be a project cos there are a fair few flaws with stock there are sevral companys promising the problem gears so i would get one but put it off till you now there is some worth while diff upgrades on the market

as for a 380C once the motor, ESC, reciver and servos are in you might find room for 3 sub C cells or make a trailer for them

personally id agree dont touch the mamba motors they are to small for the truck as will most but the mamba ESC is the best around by far i suppose you could use sub C.s but like i said there isnt alot of room a 2000mah 3 cell lipo dose the job fine and fits stock with abit of hacking as for motors there is a fair choice of 380 can micro motors ideal for the truck and the C4 which i think is out soon is a 9200kv 380 can micro motor thats 102120 RPM with a lipo it would push the truck way faster than its controlable at

BUT if you could fit it all in it would be something special :)
