I like my ST also. The power is alright, but then again I am running it in 5 degree temps. It could use a better clutch though, becuase I do not like the acceleration. Overall, It is a great truck!

Default max st

What precent nitro are you running . I'm useing 20% but be care full don't run to lean i just broke a connecting rod . Also check the head bolts they will come lose and you will slow down and it will be hard to start. i sent a pic of my broken piston . i got a new piston and connecting rod from tower hobbies .I like the .16 for now .

Ha I did that on my Kyosho.Sucks eh?

I just rebuilt my rc10gt w/ a new piston and sleeve in the OS12cv and it kicks butt!!
Fastest motor I have ever ran.
I'd go w/ the RC10GT it's probably the best all around truck.Plus it's easy to get parts for.

Just got done using my ST in the again. I am just getting done with break in. I am only running in the driveway because there is large amounts of snow everywhere else! My drive is the only place where there is at least just a bit of snow becuase we shoveled/snow blew it. It is so fun. I am liking the car more every time I use it. I am also liking the off-road type of vehicles more every time also. (I am new to the off-road stuff, but experienced in on-road cars).
