How does a converted LST2 work as a basher?

[junkman]

I have all three, a slash 4x4, erevo, and a converted lst2. I normally treat my stuff pretty well, with the exception of the 4x4. I have beat the absolute t-total crap out of it, and still running strong. It has been a loner truck, skate park truck, just abused and have fun. I think I've broke 1 hub carrier, a couple shocks, and thats about it. It is pretty much bone stock, always ran on 3s. It does have a blitz body on it, it's wider and tougher and I think that has saved it a lot. It has sold probably 5 others ones just from the durability, and how it runs out of the box. The converted lst2, I have had no problems with since completion. Run it on 5s with mmm, and a medusa 36/80/2000. It is a big heavy truck, impresses the buddies with rolling backflips, guessing geared for around 40 or so. It has a ton of aftermarket stuff on it, rpm arms, carbon chassis, hard anod skids, anod shocks. I probably have more tied up in it than any other truck I have. I don't really "bash" it, and def cringe when it goes cartwheeling across the yard, but yet to break anything on it. I still like the e-revo, but really don't use it too much anymore. Run it on 4s, mmm, medusa 36/70/2200. It handles pretty well, much lighter than the lst, but I have broken some parts on it. A couple shafts, went through several diffs, but I don't shim them or anything, just pop them in, It is kind of a pain to change diff in, but a loosened slipper would probable work wonders. I guess it boils down to how much you want to spend really, you can get some serious money tied up in an lst when you figure $100 for mount and single speed, then a battery box. Its gonna take some good power and good batteries moreso than the others. Parts aren't as readily available, and are more costly as well.
