yup, a re-vamp of the MGT should be in order as well lol maybe taking notes from how they did the Rival with the 17mm hexes and such. wouldnt mind a center diff MGT as well, but would lose the 2-speed, and thats half the fun lolThere is a few of them that needs to be re-popped!...
Thats awesome. I dont think any companies even make catalogs anymore.Digging through my shed an found this!...
for the most they are a Losi Aftershock with a baja bug body.This thread just reminded me I have a brand new in box Mega Baja tucked away in the depths of my basement. I believe it is essentially an LST2, correct? I bought it about 10 years ago, just before I lost interest in the hobby. I have only taken it out to Loctite all the necessary screws, but it has never been started up.
Since coming back to the hobby recently, I've really have no desire to get back into nitro.............as of yet! (We'll see where the future steers me).
Anyways, I bought this rig just because I love those dessert buggies! I need to dig out this beast and, at the very least, make it a shelf queen.View attachment 126798
Yes the Mega Baja was built on the LST1 platform. Its not identical but its almost the same kit. You could definitely turn it in to a shelf queen....

It did have its share of weaknesses and without the aftermarket support it used to have Id have probably never gotten so attached to the platform. Once you get a few aluminum upgrades on it though it starts to come to life and imho it is an amazing platform.I'd be happy if they just brought back the micro line...
The LST line was cool for what it was, but a bit fragile for me.
Micro's are fun on rainy days or when it's cold and you just want something to run around the house and pester cats with.It did have its share of weaknesses and without the aftermarket support it used to have Id have probably never gotten so attached to the platform.

As for the micro line, I'm good you can keep those lol. I'm just not a micro guy
Thats interesting cuz I never had the 2 speed or the rail issue. My main issues were tie rods, c hubs, and motor mount, on both kits and when I converted the LST2 to electric I had to hop up the diff housings and had to get hardened half shafts cuz 6S was destroying those too.Micro's are fun on rainy days or when it's cold and you just want something to run around the house and pester cats with.
My main issues with the LST were the 2 speed and chassis rails. The c-hubs, diff yoke retainers, motor mount brace as aluminum helped those areas a lot and lusford tie rods with RPM arms helped those.
My two speed hubs kept having the pucks hop over the flat spot and locking it up. That was even after getting the LST* 2 speed hub.
For the chassis rails, until I made a skid that connected the front to the center, I'd snap those in half every other time I ran the truck. Hated replacing those... sooooo many screws.
In the end, the 2-speed was the only thing that bugged me continually that I couldn't find a good "set it and forget it" fix for.
i have not experienced the 2speed issues yet either, might have just been lucky. i am also only running the stock engine on the one and not a lot amount of time on the one with the F4.6.Thats interesting cuz I never had the 2 speed or the rail issue.

I just realized you said LST. Are you talking about the LST1 or the LST2 cuz the LST1 was definitely more fragile than the LST2 from what I understand. I've never had an LST1 only an LST2 and XXL
I had the aftershock which was a trimmed down LST1 with a weak 2 speed. I put an LST2 2 speed on it though when I put a LRP28S3 in it. I got to about tank 6 of break in with that engine and the stock two speed locked up.Thats interesting cuz I never had the 2 speed or the rail issue.
