Yah, I agree. Maybe 'till the holidays next year, lol. :005: Wouldn't that be nice.

Damn, I wish I saw that before I paid $250 on Ebay for a used Hyper 8! Oh well, the Revo will have to serve the ~MT purpose.

Skellyo - how is their service? I am loving the prices on their site!

I would probably want the tires for the most part...

i thought HB had something coming up for the truggy scene.
just a feelin i had.
so if there doing dumping-prices now it must be right.

I can probably sell the tires to you. I plan on putting something like Badlands on mine when I get it. I'll be running primarily in a very low cut grass, so the stock tires won't do me much good.

I am still waiting for my jammin crt but think I may pick ones of these up anyway! thanks

I read on the local track's forum that HB will stop producing the LSP as well as parts for it, which explains the price drop. I'll see if I can find the post that contained that information. Otherwise, this post is null.

EDIT:
Found the post. It's here:

I think that there supposed to be coming out with a newer model. About like the Lightining 2 buggy...I think they said it was supposed to be out by the fall.

Skellyo, that sounds good to me. I love the stock tires. They work great for some surfaces. I don't even need the rims, or inserts. Only thing is the set I have now is glued to 14mm rims, and I can only use 23mm rims since I did the 8mm axle conversion. I to plan on getting a set of Badlands for mine as well. Let me know how they do.

Are the parts gonna be interchangable with the newer truggy? I hope HB will still supply parts for the LSP!

jnev · 02.28.2007, 07:27 PM

I am guessing that they would be interchangable, because otherwise, I would be guessing that Hot Bodies would get a lot of complaints from people that have the lightning right now, and have no parts to fix the broken ones.

squeeforever · 02.28.2007, 11:47 PM

I'm guessing some will be, but not all.

For any of you that were thinking about the LSP-R while it was on special, Ultimate Hobbies has pulled all of their specials on HB products. The LSP-R is back to the normal $439.95 price now.

I guess I spoke too soon. They are back on special again now. I guess they were just in process of changing up their specials page at the time I checked earlier today.

Too bad they dont ship to Canada :(

Small update...

Received my Trakpower packs last week...ordered a 4th Trakpower pack today so I can do 2 runs sequentially.

With the help of Sylvester, I now have a bunch of hop up parts on the way...better caster blocks, steering links and CVD's.

And silly me went and bought a 2nd LSP-R just because they were so cheap and I had a spare MM I could use in it. Now I have to pick out a motor for this one.
