I just bought the Team Losi CF chassis p/n LOSB0902 (Upper Chassis Plate Set, Graphite (3): MLST) at my lhs for $39.99 + tax. Installed it this evening and it went together easily. The fit and finish are excellent!!! All the holes are just the correct size and exact location, unlike the Holeshot Racing chassis that I returned.
The CF upper set weighs 43.5 grams versus the stock aluminum pieces weighs 26.3 grams... =17.2 grams saved...or 1 ounce and 1.2 grams...that's pretty significant on an 1/18th scale MT! So far highly recommended way to shave some weight off your Mini LST.
I will buy the Lower Chassis Set when they come in and will update on that too.

Installed the Losi Lower Chassis Plate Set, Graphite (3): MLST yesterday and it is nice, but the front and rear lower pieces didn't fit the bumper/skidplate very well. I had to use a sharp X-Acto knife and a bit of sandpaper to make the notched part of the brace a little deeper, and more squared (less rounded shape). After that they fit well and none of the screw heads stuck up above the plates.
Bashed em for several packs and so far all is well...couple scratches but that's it.

This chassis is still workin great! Got a few scrapes on the bottom from those 3 and 4 foot high jumps onto the concrete from my neighbor's driveway...but hasn't broken yet! Wish I could say the same for the stock wheels...lol!
