Team Losi LST XXL Review

The nitro 1/8-scale LST XXL RTR Monster Truck demonstrates that bigger is indeed better. The LST XXL has parts and design components that make it more impervious than you could possibly dream. It features an elongated wheelbase and a lengthy chassis which adds refined handling and steadiness, making for an improved ride and effortless performance.

The 454 Engine is devised to generate unsurpassable low-end torque as well as high revolution horsepower for crazy high end speeds. Ported and Dyno tuned for the maximum level of power from the initial startup, the big block engine can catapult the LST XXL from a dead stop up to speeds close to 50 mph without a sputter. The engine also allows the freedom of a combo Pull Start/Spin Start backplate, with a handheld, push button spin start unit on board.

Spektrum’s DX3S 3-Channel radio unit with 2.4GHz DSM technology lets racers reach the next level in absolute control, while providing the added advantage of unified telemetry. The inclusion of integrated telemetry gives users real-time data such as speed, head temperature, rpm and voltage numbers. The LST XXL comes with an NiMH receiver battery to supply power for the radio system required to keep everything under control.

The 2-speed transmission offers dialed-in gear ratios for the flawless combination of low-end torque and high-rev horsepower. Furthermore, the transmission offers reverse, making navigation easier. The 3-shoe aluminum clutch construction features very strong steel clutch springs to guarantee that when you throttle down, the clutch is there to get the truck moving in a flash.

The molded suspension parts are made from the same high-impact polymers and compounds used on Losi’s 1/8-scale race platforms, offering incomparable sturdiness and precision. The center, front and rear CV driveshafts give efficient drivetrain ability, and the differentials are constructed with metal gears to take serious off-road treatment.

Handling all types of terrain demands some heightened traction, and the LST delivers with chrome Force wheels and well made ATX tires. The custom appearance of the wheels stays undisturbed thanks to detachable chrome caps to cover the wheel nuts for added authenticity. The ATX tires allow the LST XXL to conquer anything in its way without hesitancy, or flipping over obstacles that would topple other trucks.
