Team Losi Releases “Mini Super Truck”
How do you follow two of the most sensational R/C releases in the last ten years? You use the same formula for success to make a miniature run anywhere version of the awesome Team Losi LST. Team Losi has done it again with their all-new “Monster Among Mini’s” the Mini-LST ready to run 4WD mini-monster truck. The Mini-LST is not merely a mini-truck with big tires but a brand new ground up design based on the full size 2005 Truck of the Year, Team Losi LST 4WD Monster Truck. Just like it’s big brother, the Mini-LST features an aluminum dual-deck chassis with long arm suspension and four monstrous oil filled shocks to suck up the bumps and jumps. Power comes from not one but two powerful “Frenzy 370” motors powering a rugged ball bearing equipped drive train that uses three slipper-protected differentials to distribute the power to the mini-monster tires. The Mini-LST package includes an exclusive synthesized modular radio system that requires no crystals to switch between the six available frequencies and a host of features only found on more expensive models. Precise control is maintained with dual steering servos and the hi-output forward/reverse electronic speed control. To make the package complete a 6-cell 7.2-volt rechargeable battery pack and convenient AC charger are included so all you have to add is 8 “AA” dry cells to get going. Dinning room, deck, or driveway, the Mini-LST is instant monster truck excitement you can take with you wherever you go. Look for the new Mini-LST and all of the genuine Team Losi Mini-LST replacement and performance parts at hobby shops and racetracks worldwide.

Archyman · #9 10-06-2005, 12:48 AM

Oh ya I'm getting one.......how sweet is that....good job........... LOSI .............

MrCrash · #10 10-06-2005, 12:50 AM

Awesome! Now I can have a big one and a little one

The only thing I hate is the radio. It looks like crap. However, being it IS from Losi, I'm sure it'll work nicely.

t9dragon · #11 10-06-2005, 01:14 AM

Here are some pics without the body on it

It is one cool Mini Monster Truck.

Archyman · #12 10-06-2005, 01:15 AM

Ya radios goofy...but it's synthesized....which is cool ...cant really beat that

TimisTim · #13 10-06-2005, 01:15 AM

Yeah but its synthesized. Thats the one thing I like alot about losi, the quality of the radio's their RTR's use.

Now with that said, I am in awe of this truck. They really did the LST justice when they scaled it down. Just go to the site and look at the undercarriage shots.

I am seeing a dual brushless motor/esc system in my future.

Archyman · #14 10-06-2005, 01:22 AM

thinkin the same thing their Tim

jessnlaurie · #15 10-06-2005, 01:38 AM

Does anyone know of a release date?

t9dragon · #16 10-06-2005, 01:45 AM

I hope the receiver and esc are seperate units.

Archyman · #17 10-06-2005, 01:46 AM

From the Pic. they look seperate

Mustang2 · #18 10-06-2005, 01:57 AM

Anyone got a release date ?

sosidge · #19 10-06-2005, 03:15 AM

Well done Losi - they've learned the lessons from the Mini-T, and pushed 1/18th trucks another step forward again. Looks good.

Dual brushless are you nuts??! Apparently so

Freedom · #21 10-06-2005, 03:27 AM

Where's the 4 speed transmission? Ya know the low and high gear the LST is known for. I am so dissapointed with the Mini LST, just kidding.

suckfish · #22 10-06-2005, 06:38 AM

dang it .. .I wish I would have waited for this one... just finished putting together my Mini T, w/ Mamba 6800... well x-mas is just around the corner..

Freem · #23 10-06-2005, 06:52 AM

I am not a Losi guy either, I have always respected thier inovation! This looks very promissing. I agree with the other post Losi has raised the bar in 18th scale. I will wait for product reviews before making my final decision.

desfjr1300 · #24 10-06-2005, 07:52 AM

I for one was very disappointed with the Mini T and swore off Losi for good after my experience with that thing, but this looks like it was done right! Just hope it doesnt use the same servo's the T had. Dual motors? Oh yeah baby!

fezzy · #25 10-06-2005, 08:31 AM

I must have one to sit along side the big daddy!
