you know brushless motors are superior in speed and maintenance but damn, I really still love way brushed 540's sound, feel and run! I still replace brushes in 2020!
A world champion track then would be a club track today...I have this video on vhs I bought it in 93 at my local hobby shop. It was amazing to me when I was young that their were professional rc car racers
I never realized till now that the body I have for my RC 10 is correct. Apparently I have an rc10t. I never knew there was a truck version of the rc10. Aside from the rc10b. Cool.
At the time they were treated as the same class, RC10Ts used to race with Lunch Boxes and Blackfoots. Stadium Truck didn't become its own class until a few years later as more stadium trucks were released. It's actually kinda like how truggies came around, originally people mounted monster truck wheels, tires and bodies to 1/8th scale buggies to run them in the monster truck class, and because they were so dominant they ended up being split off into their own class so that the "true" MTs weren't put at a disadvantage.
They might be able to handle it, problem is their cars wouldn't. Modern racing buggies are so overspecialized towards smooth, high-grip surfaces that they'd be practically undriveable on a loose, rough loam track. It'd actually be kinda funny, honestly, seeing stuff like the Traxxas Bandit, the Associated RB10 and Tamiya Racing Fighter and Sand Viper dominate while top-dollar racing rigs just get tossed all over the place and struggle to even complete laps.

Thats an incredible perfomance by Mike Dunn in 4wd
I'm enjoying some remember-berries on this rainy labor-day morning. :)

I know JD
Lmao, those washboards were brutal. And these are pro drivers. 😂
Surfs up !!!
I’d love to see the new racers race in ACTUAL dirt.
