RC ADVENTURES - Tuning & Second Run of my Gas Powered Losi LST XXL2 1/8th Scale Monster Truck

Click Here To Subscribe! ► - Today this truck performed very well for me.. and I can feel the power of the engine starting to settle in. I have a feeling in 2 more tanks through this 1/8th scale Monster Truck, and it is going to be rippin' it up! I put it through it's paces in this video, though this film is only 7 minutes long - I ran it for a good hour. For the first part, off camera, I wanted to ensure the engine was properly broken in before I did anything crazy. Then I felt more comfortable with the rig - and did some jumping, did some speed runs, and got it a little dirty..
The AVC really does help. I find it wasn't as tippy as I expected.. still tons of power pulling out of the corners..

The Losi® LST XXL™ 2 takes the proven LST platform and adds an innovative .31 cubic inch GASOLINE engine, the AVC™ (Active Vehicle Control™) driving system and a whole lot more. Losi’s LST XXL 2 occupies a class of its own with waterproof electronics, ultra-durable suspension and oversized shocks all of which is built on the trusted XXL extended chassis. The driving capabilities of the LST XXL 2 are complimented by the AVC technology system. AVC automatically adjusts the driving characteristics of the LST XXL2 to match its ferocious power so you can drive faster with more control. Not only will you rarely find yourself far from a full tank of gas, but the included roto-start system ensures the LST XXL is only seconds away from starting up. With advanced durability and legendary Losi 4WD performance, little stands in the way of you and all-out RC excitement when you’re in command of the LST XXL 2.
The included power plant in the LST XXL 2 is a high-performance gasoline engine that has been designed for peak performance. Requires the use of Dynamite High Performance Small Block 2-Cycle Oil. One 282cc bottle treats one gallon of gasoline for a 14:1 premix ratio. Dynamite High Performance Small Block 2-Cycle Oil must be used in a 14:1 premix ratio with Dynamite .31 Gas Engine (5.1cc).
