The mini lst is crap, do not buy one. I dumped hundreds in mine and the drivetrain could not hold the power. I tried the metal diffs, and they did not last long. The only thing that worked well was MIP ball diff in the ctr trans. The vendetta and mini quake need larger motors than the little mamba motors. A 280 size feigao or similar will work fine. The vendetta and quake have higher gearing than the 18t so the mamba motors do not have enough torque to push the trucks around.

Mini-LST (or mLST2) is totall crap. Too top heavy, if you put any speed on it, it just bounces and flops all over the place. I dumped $500+ into one over a month or more before I literally just dumped it in the garbage can. (first RC product I have just given up on and thrown out!)
