It's here in teh UK =D

Well i came home today after a horrible day of mocks Maths and History

To find that i have the mini lst!

First impressions are that this truck will be good! i'm not too sure if the gear mesh is set correctly or it may be because of the 2 metal pinions on the spur, the shocks seem a little soft so i'l have to put some spacers in it (they come with it though ).

I have taken some pics as you can see below and expect a video before neighbours comes on this evening :rotf:

Well i cant wait to run this as its on charge being peaked at 1A atm so not much longer to wait now, i would say that the transmitor is not really ideal for people with small hands as its hard to reach the trigger with your index finger if you have small hands due to the lump in the grip so seperate you thumb from your fingers thank god my hands aren't that small :yes:

Sadly the UK batch of mlst's have arrived with the hex problem that i have mentioned a fair bit recently, mine are only very very slightly off perfectly circular but i think once i run it a lot it they will become more of an oval shape, i will try and get me some washers to sort the problem and prevent me from breaking the centre out of my wheel.

Well i know you're all dying to know how its been, it has now charged and been for a run up and down the road and around the house!

First impressions before the run was the servo savers seem a little weak and i couldnt get them to engage by turning the wheels! also the wheels are a little wobbly i think this is because of the hex problem to that will be sorted when the new hexes come out, i would imagine that Helger or Lost will send em out to people for free. And the sticker on the side of the shell (the big white one) had peeled off a bit but went back on nice and easy

As for the shocks i think they could do with upping the oil for bashing, it seems a bitsoft and the shocks could do with filling yourself as they are a bit squelchy, but there is VERY clear instructions on how to do it, and the shocks are fitted with a bleed screw also.

I charged up the stock Ni-Mh battery ready then was ready to rock, i gave it a few laps of my bedroom then headed outside, it's quite strange getting used to the size of it, its very wide, same height as zilla with shell on but zilla has about 0.5-1cm more ground clearance, its also over an inch longer than the zilla(same wheel base as rc18t so i found out today!

It's very speedy down the road and torquey, it's faster than the xray m18t out of the box im sure, obviously it tanks the zilla! It takes flying off curbs very well but if you turn hard on the road it does start to grip roll. luckily my fron garden was dug up by a bid digger not long ago so its all bumpy mud with a bank at one end it happily crawled over the lumps and bumps then powered its huge self out of the mud.

So that's my first impression which, despite a few minor probs(as with all new cars) is that this truck rocks! :yes: :yahoo:

Sadly this is my xmas pressie so mum now taken it off me but i know where it is and i got day off on Friday (no exams :d ) so il be getting it out
Some more pics for you







**Edit**
Forgot to mention this thing is HUUGGGEE!
