I am so confused. Time to bust out the old college calculus books to try and solve this one.

I was just looking at your gallery TEX. You have really progressed on your helicopters. The signature is as impressive as your inverted hover.

I hope to get back into helicopters again. The initial is expensive, but you don't break parts for what seems like no reason unless you crash; unlike cars.

I think I learned the trick now... I think in the future if I start a new build thread, I will just name it "Tamiya xxx picture thread", then, I can post all the pictures related to that vehicle there in the thread.. and that won't be considered off-topics or having no "contribution"... I think that's the way to go in the future...

Or call it "general Tamiya xxx thread"?

So anything related to it can be posted?

Like "Tamiya semi thread"?

"Tamiya semi picture thread"?

I think that's what I will do..

It is interesting that the Hilux is listed as $440 at Tower.. which is a lot higher than the F-350..

While their MSRP price at TamiyaUSA are identical...

Hmmm..... just Tower jacking up the price, maybe??

Jim,

Yes, I've run it quite a few times.. The diffs haven't given me any problems at all, they're humming right along.

The Losi lipo battery is pretty great, it seems to last just as long as the 1400mah 6 cell pack I had previously -- but the truck moves alot quicker.

---

As for the Spektrum DSM radio - MAJOR improvement over the synthesized radio that the original M-LST came with the range is quite a bit further as well.

All in all, it's been a real nice setup. Only issue I had was a popped off turnbuckle.

What's the mAh rating on the included Li-Po?!

The M-LST-2 should have all the drivetrain parts upgraded over the old M-LST, right?! The diff shouldn't have any issue, right?!

1000mah 2s Lipo.

Yes, the M-LST2 has all the same upgraded driver parts as the Mini Monster-Baja.

I checked out the new Beetle you put together, it came out looking sharp! Nice work on that.

That NOVAK heatsink looks Excellent on there too.

Nice.. I assume it comes w/ the LiPo charger too?!

Thanks! Yeah, I think the Blitzer Beetle turned out okay..

When the paint job isn't stellar, just put more stickers on.. that's my philosophy....

So did the mods go in and delete all your recent post with just pics? I looked back at the Lunchbox thread and i think there is some pics missing?
