I won Alaska state championship for 2 wheel stadium truck mod when I was 14 and damn these guys are fast!!!! I don't think I could even hang with them!!!!!
Awesome racing. Love stadium truck, it's so nostalgic for me. Also, I like the extra clip at the end as a peak into what happens when they walk off the stand.
Stadium truck are so cool. I love how even pro drivers occasionally pull a wheelie while they’re accelerating hard, haha. Might have to build one someday, even thought they’re not popular in my area 😔
Yeah, I had one two years ago and the class just fell off (partly because of my work schedule), but it seems to be coming back around. Through the years I've watched the stadium truck class thrive for a while, then die, thrive again......then die, and the cycle continues. I'm 57, and started in late 80's/early 90's with a Losi JrT (the Ford Bronco), then the Losi XT, and later the XXT. I'm now just running 1/8 outdoor off-road buggy and 1/10 indoor stock class 4wd buggy, and hopefully soon, Stadium Truck.
I have to wonder... why didn't 1/10th 4WD Stadium Truck take off? And before someone says "because it's too similar to 4WD buggy", you could make that argument for 2WD Stadium Trucks as well, yet they're, well, not super popular but popular enough that you can regularly get a class for them at a lot of tracks. The tire width and track width both make a significant difference in handling, stadium trucks tend to be snappier yet grippier, and generally can be driven more punched than a buggy - and in fact you have to drive them that way to get the most out of them.
