Stadium trucks is what brought me back to racing after 30 years in 2020. Visited my lhs and saw stadium trucks running and fell in love. Got myself a t6.1 for Christmas. It's a buggy with wider tires and plush suspension.
That Brass weight will do you wonders! Your not getting "grip roll" simply because your not moving fast enough. But if you start pushing the truck, it will grip roll especially on carpet. It will handle much better with the brass weight when your ready to increase the speed! It made a huge difference for my T6.4 Associated compared to the aluminum one I used previously.
That ST2 looked like it was handling really, really well, brilliant stuff! I have to admit I am tempted by a stadium truck of some sort, I'll have to see what I can afford....
Come along to one of the Truck Nationals. We're at Sheffield next weekend and camp over. Normally around 35 stadium trucks and 15 ish short course. Absolutely brilliant weekends, so much fun and close racing.👍
If you want to have even more fun, then give a 1/10 Truggy a try. The Tekno ET410.2, Xray XT4 and the PR SB401R-T (which I drive) are the best in the class and will all put a big smile on your face
I run stadium truck on turf and it is my absolute favorite class. If you need more rear grip use the Schumacher mini pins, if you want the car to rotate more try the Schumacher Vee-2
The problem with stadium trucks is that the class pretty much died over a decade ago unfortunately 😅 I have one too, an Academy RT-sport, it’s probably considered ‘vintage’ by now, but there’s no offroad clubs anywhere near me and none in the entire country actually run a stadium truck class 😬 I remember when I first got into R/C in the late 90’s, stadium trucks were on par with 2WD buggy in class size.. but classes come and go, maybe (hopefully) it’ll return at some point.
Cant you lower the shocks down by putting fuel tubing in side the shocks on the shock shafts, or do you still want to keep the same travel on the shocks. But still lower the chassis ride height.
Internal limiters can be used to decrease droop. They should not be used to reduce ride height as you want the suspension to sag a little under the weight of the vehicle.
@popalongrc - Carl, you sir are an enabler! Now I want one of these... alot!

Cheers bud
Great tips
I love running my ST as much as I can, great video
thanks cant wait to run it again
Nice. That truck looked fairly planted. I can't say I'm into stadium trucks much. I do hope you find some other people with ST's to race against.
Let’s hope so
Use a slipper eliminator and pins all round on tires for carpet racing. Oh a reallllly good servvo
thanks
I used to love running my RC10T2 back in the day.
great car

really pleased with it
I'm sure be welcome to run that at South Cambs on the buggy nights
Sounds like a plan
Great on track battle we had. However, I was making too many mistakes. Your advice was good ,slow is fast ,less mistakes
fast is slow
Not run a truck, but they do look mega fun 👌

I wonder if the Schumacher would be good in dirt idk if anyone’s tried it or not yet I’ve been wanting one.
Very similar to the LD3 in terms of design so I imagine changes to setup can be made for it to run on dirt

Why did?
They allow you to use a stadium truck against buggies?
Because they are nice
In the bottom heat all night so did not impact on drivers fighting for championship
Is traction roll.😂
Get a grip… it’s grip roll
Hahaha
You will never change my mind and what it's really should be said about it. 😂
