You are right, 1/18th isn't necessarily a novelty, I'm just kind of biased by my own personal experience. Dropped a ton of cash on upgrades for my Mini Desert Truck and yet it didn't change the fact that it got hung up on slightly uneven dirt. I could see a 4wd mini being a better prospect, but I'm reluctant to try again after getting a taste of 1/8 scale. Smallest I will go now is 1/10 or 1/12.

Hi guys,I've finally got my ml$t2 running as a monster truck.Its cost a fortune.I've got a crawler(mini) and a micro raminator,.I'm actually pleased with the ml$t2 now.But as most say ,they've let us down for years,They won't try anything suggested by people who're running the trucks,The tiny screws mentioned ,you can drill the tops off and use pliers on the threads.Epoxy resin works well to relock the diff(I did it in the ml$t2,worked for 4 x 1000mah 40 c lipos,through a 5200kv brushless) I'm waiting for a mip diff ,its coming from the US ,but the backlog from the icelandic volcano is ridiculous.I'm boycotting Losi & horizon hobby,they just take,.

The associated RC18T is a pretty solid little truck. Can't speak for the new version with belt drive but the older one is pretty solid. Only upgrades to mine are rpm shock towers, front arms, and FT shocks all around; it has been running 5400kv motor like this for quite some time now with no drivetrain issues. It still gets hung up on bigger obstacles but handles pretty well for it's size and is stupid fast for it's size! On carpet it will pull standing back flips until I dialed up the punch control

Hi guys,I'm stirring up a bit of a rebellion on the losi site.It looks like losi were a nice company before being swallowed up by horrorzone hobbies.I can't remember if I've posted the mlst2 saga on here.Oh well,I ordered a mlst2(2.4Ghz) from a lhs,horrorzone sent out a mlst(27 Mhz) that didn't work.So it went back to the shop(80 mile round trip!) The guy in the shop would only give a credit note????? I managed to eventually get my cash back(don't ask) So a few months later I ordered 1from a different lhs,again they sent out a mlst.Horrorzone blamed the guy in the shop,I looked on the guys computer ,due to previous experience.He deffinatley used the right code!I think they didn't have any mlst2's in stock.Why not let the lhs know? I'd have waited.Horrorzone don't want to know when somethings not fit for purpose,mlst diffs! Try emailing them asking for an improved product(metal diff gears,they could be cast! no need for "expensive machining" ) Stand up for your trucks!!! ferrets unite!!

Hi guys,I've been slagging losi off for a bit.Broken parts after broken parts.But the suspension on the ml$t2's good,and I think you cna run lights off the aux port on the rx,they work if the trucks not running.AND they replied to some1 on the losi site.They won't reply to me.
