After months of speculation and R/C magazine spy shots, Team Losi is happy to announce that their long rumored entry in the Monster truck market is coming and its aptly called the LST as in Losi Super Truck.
The Losi design and development team started with a clean computer screen and no limitations with the directive to produce the ultimate monster truck. After endless testing and development, the feature packed LST is about ready to be released. With no rules to limit them, the Losi engineers have incorporated features that are costly add-ons or simply not available in anything currently available.
The track is wider, the wheelbase is longer, the tires are bigger, the motor is more powerful, the fuel tank is larger, the shocks are bigger, and the transmission has more speeds than any common monster truck. As if thats not enough, it is outfitted with a JR Synthesized radio system (30 Frequencies to choose from!)that uses not one, but two, steering servos for razor sharp handling and an amazingly small turning radius unheard of in monster trucks.
There are almost too many unique features to list but some of the more important ones include:
• Ball bearings used throughout (nothing to replace or upgrade)
• Big Block (7 port) .26 engine (big size and big power)
• Real race tuned aluminum exhaust system (no optional parts needed)
• Portable rotary starter included (pull cords cant handle this horsepower)
• 4 oversized race-style Aluminum shocks (no plastic here)
• 2-Speed automatic gearbox (a must for top performance)
• Manual Hi/Lo drive range for a total of 4 forward speeds (best of both worlds)
• 2-Speed reverse in Lo range (Extra maneuverability)
• All metal transmission gears (only the best will do)
• 3 Channel synthesized JR Radio (Pick your frequency from 30 channels)
• Two steering servos w/servo savers (ultra small turning radius)
• Oversized fuel tank with primer (easily filled without removing the body)
• Preglued tires with foam inserts on Chrome Rims (look good work better)
• Long travel double wishbone suspension (greater stability and handling)
• Steel geared viscous differentials (got to handle that horsepower)
• Four level modular chassis design (strong yet easy to work on)
• Sealed radio box (a real necessity)
• Dual disk brakes (what goes fast has got to be stopped)
