I bought a used Propulse Buggy about a month ago. It's very impressive. Very fast stock. It's much faster, and jumps much higher than my Mini-LST (which is expected since it's much lighter than the MLST). Also, does well off road, although not as well as the MLST. I'm kinda wondering how well it would do with a faster motor, and Lipo. The only thing I really have a gripe about with these 1/18th electrics, is their runtimes, which average about 10 minutes. I have an upgraded battery pack for my MLST (Intellect 1400 cells), but still average the same runtimes. Other than runtimes, though ,I'm having a great time with my 1/18ths. So far the Propulse is very durable. I've been jumping it (about 4' jumps), and haven't broken anything yet. The only issue is that the tie rods pop off after some weird landings. I don't think I'll do any upgrading on it, until something breaks. I did have to buy some shock towers, because the guy I bought it from broke it.
I bought a Wraith brushless motor with a Quark esc, but haven't installed it yet. I was gonna do a quick install on the MLST last night, but it was going to be more involved than I thought, so I didn't do it. Maybe this weekend.
