Well my beloved has bought me a LRP Blast S10 for our anniversary
Bought from freeprawn as a roller, I have to say it's a quality bit of kit - a load better than the Carson E-Stormracer I have.
I stripped the Carson of it's electronics to power the beast. 60A Ez-run and a 9t motor. I left the 20t pinion on at first. It was sluggish but when it got full chat, blimey was it fast!!!! Fantastic top end but an age to get there. Luckily I ordered a 17t from Nigel with the buggy - wow it was mental @ that, the acceleration was insane. I didn't have any other pinions but...... I had Truggy wheels from the S10 range . The stock wheels were replaced and my o my! What a difference
The rear end squat no longer mattered, the acceleration is a bit more sensible and the top end is pretty good again - now can someone stop the bleedin rain please? I have a leccy I wanna thrash
The tuggy wheels are brilliant on the buggy imo
I just need some tuning springs and this is going to be great.

It took some stick on Sunday spending some time on it's roof due to my 'blasting' lol!!
I should have taken the buggy wheels with me, the handling was good but with the smaller wheels on I think it'd be better.
I got through 5 battery packs and the only broken item was the spoiler, the shock towers are nice and high to protect the shell so the front one is scratched but took the hammer given :)
I am likey-likey

Yea..I want one too..LOL
The Blast looks planted!!
She's off the road at the moment, at last round blew the bean can (welded a stinger on the standard can and it ripped a hole in the side of the bean can..so it's literally a can..LOL), and rounded off a wheel square..and broke the shell at the nose section..the new shell as well..dang!!!

I'm still to fit the cvd's and the exhaust. And the shell. And the new plug cap...the list goes on ;)
