RE: lightning stadium 10
well its more a truggy than a st but for the money its a pretty nice car. Still evader or x-cellerator are a better choice IMO, cause they come with 18 engines and are more powerfull.
and i think you are talking about a pullstart... which means you have to pull the engine over yourself to get it running.

RE: lightning stadium 10
It does not have a center diff so I do not see how it is like a truggy. Yes I have heard good things about it only problems is the engine is not real power full and there are not many hop up for it or after market support. I think it is a decent truck and if there was more hop ups I would even like it more.

Its a Truggy 2[&o] put it like this I know there is only about 10 people left out there racing 1/10 Stadium Trucks but they don't let 1/10 4x4 truggys compete with them because they don't require the skill to drive like a real 2 wheel drive stadium Truck
or a 4x4 buggy for that matter

RE: lightning stadium 10
Well if they are truggies it is the first turggies I have seen with out a center differential.[X(] True there is not a sanction class for 4 wheel drive stadium trucks but there is all so no class for a stadium truck with a 2 speed like a Jato so what do you call a Jato?

RE: lightning stadium 10
What I call a JATO, thats a good question but because it comes stock without meeting specs for legal stadium truck and is still a 2 wheel drive it would be called. hhhmmmm lets see now, this is really tough aaaaaaa Stadium Truck and there are more that come illegal? Now there are some people without much effort have removed 2 items and made Jato a legal truck as some of the other good people have changed things to make there 2 wheel drive legal. I understand the mystical problems this provides for some who fail to recognize what marketing is, but there is a huge difference in 4x4 and a 2 wheel drive[&o]

RE: lightning stadium 10
So what you are saying a 4-wheel drive is a truggy? So that means a Savage is a truggy? For it to be a true truggy since truggy come from combining a buggy and a monster truck it has a center differential. If you look in the Pro Series rules which truggies are all so called Area truck you will see to be a truggy it must have a center differential and NONE of the 1/10 scale 4 wheel drive stadium trucks have a center differential and if they did then I would agree they where 1/10 turggy! [X(] So who fails to understand marketing? Yes you are correct 4 wheel drive is total different then 2 wheel drive and 4 wheel drive handles much better and will go places 2 wheel drive only whis it could go.

RE: lightning stadium 10
OK so where do you race your 4x4 stadium truck.............you don't because there is no such thing as a 4x4 stadium truck only the marketing people have tried to appeal to the Stadium truck people with there 4x4. You want to look at specs look at the ST specs to instead of trying to act like you know it all, and the original observation was about a stadium truck. I was making a point that the 4x4 is not a ST and I did. what is your point.............a 4x4 is more of a Truggy than an ST because an ST can only be 2wheel drive. Don't know where you have been but 4x4 buggies have been having truck bodies on them for the past 2 or 3 years and everyone has called them Truggies. Why is that doh, because the truck body is put on the buggy, thus it becomes a truggy. I know some people are to thick between the ears to understand that but I'm sure with your vast knowledge base you might be able to comprehend those terms.pfht[&:]

RE: lightning stadium 10
rclynx you are wrong... All wheel drive buggies have a center diff.. So when you stick a truck body on it you do get a truggy.. Truggies are based on a buggies platform and have a center diff..
There are two wheel drive stadium trucks and there are four wheel drive stadium trucks.. Only one truggy

Where did I race my 4 wheel drive HPI MT here at the local track before it closed and there is a track in Columbus where they race the 4 wheel drive stadium trucks as well. How about reading the rules for a truggy on the Pro series site and you will see it has to have a center diff to run in a truggy class as well as has to be 1/8 scale if you are able to comprehend what it says.

Good chance since 4 wheel drive stadium trucks are getting so popular and many are making them now they might even be a sanction class for them in the next couple of years. [X(]

RE: lightning stadium 10
What all wheel drive doesn't have a center drive or differential, I thought someone might be smart enough to figure that out by themselves. and what is a LIGHTNING STADIUM TRUCK besides being a 4x4 truck? The way it was worded was for the super RC guy 46U because he's arguing about something that has to do with marketing and he don't have a clue...................read the hole thread[>:]
If you don't know it was called a Stadium truck to appeal to the real stadium truck people then I would say your either 46U brother or Dad or maybe ahhhhh can't say that
