I’ve installed today a Roll Bar on the LST2 truck .. hopefully it will protect the engine from any major roll overs I might have while racing

Looks quite nice, it’s not as strong as the new era roll bar, but it’s very light, which is a major for racing, I also dont do heavy bashing, so it should hold fine.

The bar by itself, and installed with no engine


I have a matching carburetor filter, for the real muddy days

Yeah, the truck needs a major cleaning

My latest passion on weekends has been RC Truck racing, so time came that I needed a Pitbox (yeah, my wife is still laughing about it also).

After allot of research I found that RB made a cool one, but I could only get it in Germany, and it costed €150 .. ouch.

Luckily I found somebody on ebay with one for sale, when I contacted the seller for a quick sale, he offered it to me for £20 .. not a bad deal

It arrived a couple of days ago, I love it, it has holders for my fuel gun, Hex drivers, plus, etc etc..

So I went ahead and started decorating it with some cool stickers


Looking fearsome

For one like myself, who spends all day surrounded by computers and clean environments, it feels great to get down and dirty in the mud, with a temperamental nitro engine, it brings you back to basics .. and sometimes, one just needs to escape to a different world than that of silicon chips ..

Recently I re-discovered my enjoyment for RC Racing when my wife gave me a Nitro Car for XMAS.

Since then I have crashed the car a few times, the last run I manage to break the transmission .. but it’s al part of the fun of Nitro RC .. you do spend 1/2 the time cleaning and repairing the cars or trucks.

As much as I love on-road racing, I love even more Off-Road racing, so I joined a local club called SpeedWay RC, from Stoke .. and decided to go ahead and order a new Truck, after buying a Bling’ed up Savage full of alloy, and realizing it was too heavy, I sold it got me a Losi LST2.

The Truck looks great, I haven been able to run it yet, I had to order some battery packs for the rotostart and some charger for the RX battery .. hopefully I’ll be able to run it on the Speedway track next weekend.

Huge Box for a Huge Truck


The Wheels are massive as well, the layout looks very easy to work on.

Another big component are the shocks, more than 2-3x as big as the ones on the Savage, the Mach 427 engine looks great as well.

Ok, so what does a 33 year old Managing Director (Thats Chief Executive for the US folks) of 2 very tech companies gets for XMAS ?

A nice briefcase ? a laptop ? a silk tie ?, one of those “how to become a better manager” over priced books ?

Naah .. Santa (AKA the wife) got me not what I needed, but exactly what I wanted this year .. a Nitro Powered, 1/10th dual gear automatic RC Car

Look at that engine .. cant wait to power it up this weekend and go play…

I was impressed .. every year she tries to impress me with tech gizmos, the kind of stuff the Executive in me should have, this year she decided it was the inner-child on myself that really loved XMAS and it was time to please that child instead .. and pleased I am
So now it’s time to buy some nice alloy’s for it…
