FG Stadium Truck
Hey guys & gals, i just received my brand new FG Stadium truck from Santa
but i can't open box till CHRISTMAS day.[
]
I bought it from FG Performance RC where the body was custom painted and
i had some hop-ups installed like :
----- alloy rear upper arms
----- steel gear conversion
----- alloy differential
----- pre-filter
The price was the lowest i have seen and the service was second to none [sm=thumbup.gif]
I will post pics after CHRISTMAS day.

Can I borrow your ol' lady for a while? Mine just doesn't understand. Or maybe she could start a large scale womans club to help others cope. Good luck with your new toy. I WANT ONE TOO!!!!

RE: FG Stadium Truck
See Icould understand if it goes something like this.
" Hey guys my hubby bought me a gift and I think I might know what it is, its a real
big box and its already wraped up. I've been dropping hints but I'm not really sure what it is and its killing me that she won't let me open it
until X-mas day. man I can't take this any more"
Then I could understand why you can't open it. gotta test it out to make sure everything is AOK!!

Listen guys,at my home all gifts that are bought are put under the tree
and opened on CHRISTMAS day and even though i bought it for myself
it is still a gift and i don't want to break the tradition.[8D]
You know in a way it makes it more exciting.

Well, well ,well i ripped open the box on CHRISTMAS day and just looked at
it for about 2 or 3 minutes before taking it out.
What a work of art ...a real beauty indeed [sm=thumbup.gif][sm=thumbup.gif]
Will post some pic later and plan to break it in this weekend.

RE: FG Stadium Truck
Well guys i ran it for the first time on Sunday and man this thing runs sweet.
I ran a little over a tank and the only problems i encountered were screws backing
out. I had to replace both screws on the servo saver and one on front upright but other than that everything went well.

RE: FG Stadium Truck
During the second tank i noticed the engine beginning to loosen up and she
is moving quite nicely. The only complaint that i have is the poor traction
of the tires but other than that i am happy.
After about 3 tanks i will put on the Jetpro pipe and then get ready to fly.

Congrats on the ST.
Looks sharp. Your next mod should be a tuned pipe, that'll really wake up your ST.
Man, I'm jealous of the weather Jamaica. Its freezing here

Hey Mobster, the poor traction that i spoke about is on dirt but it handles ok
on asphalt.
Hey T I G , the weather is great here all year round the only problem we
have is heat.

Hey Huw,
Your gonna need to fit a wheelie bar as well as the jetpro. Got a jetpro on mine, it not only looks great but goes and sounds great too. The only problem I can find with the jetpro is that it sits proud of the body and roll cage, so when it flips, its gonna land on the pipe.
