I'm starting this thread for all the electric Stadium Truck and Offroad Buggies. I know we have a few on this board besides me. Here we discuss everything stadium truck or buggy.
With that said, I just finished my Team Associated RC10T4 Team Truck(2nd one sold the other for some extra xmas money) and going for a test drive tomorrow. I didn't get the Factory Team kit because Al's just sold the last one the day before, and I couldn't wait. They only real difference between the Team Kit and the FT kit is a few blue parts,threaded shock and titainum turnbuckles. I add those later. But I have one FT part on my truck 4-40 shocknuts. But I'm running a Spektrum Radio system, Novak XRS ESC, Reedy Spec 19 Motor, Intellect 3800's, and gearing at 87Spur/19Pinion. Yeah I tried those internal graphics and it said it was red/silver and black. But turns out to be flouresent pink, oh well doesn't look too bad I think.
As far as chassis set-up : Suspension: Front  ilver springs with 30wgt oil. Rear: Green springs 35wgt. And have the -1* camber all round.
I'm going to Leisure Hour on Tuesday for electric practice to see the new track, and try to get ready so I can race the followinf Saturday. I'm new to racing stadium trucks, I was just a basher before, time to expand my horizons 
Here are a few pics my T4

I have to say the XRS speed control was pain to set-up. One-touch my .....nevermind. I finally got it setup but it took forever. It just wouldn't take the programing. I should just pull it and go get a real Novak esc. All well.

I just know that there was someone in there with what looks to be the same setup that was having problems with their spektrum...

I imagine it wouldn't be a problem. I mean it is a 1/10th and has a legal motor. And from what I heard you run with other RTR drivers. that are running a .15. But don't quote me on that. In the offical Leisure Hour Thread, they have dicussed a lot of what is allowed.

Well on the stadium truck news, I sold my Jato roller, I needed the money. So I'm in the market for a Nitro Stadium Truck, I will most likely got with the Factory Team RC10GT. I have been doing a lot of research on 1/10th nitro trucks, and I narrowed it done to the FTRC10GT, XXXNT(Adm Drake), and the XTM X-Cellorator. But after further research the GT was the best overall. The XXTNT was very nice but for my first nitro stadium truck I don't like the idea of graphote a-arms(to easlier to break for a rookie). And the XTM part support is not that great., unless you get everything on-line, and I like going to AL's and Hobbytown. So the winng is the Factory Team RC10GT.

I'm just getting back into the game after a 5-6 year layoff. I originally bought a use B3 and planned on getting back slowly by running stock buggy. Surprise...no class for it. So now I have pulled an old Traxxas truck off the shelf and ran through it to get it back in shape for now. It's actually a pretty nice truck for its age. So, I'm gonna practice with it for a bit and maybe race it once or twice until I can find myself a T4. I know that's the way it will go because I can't stand getting beat because of equipment shortcomings for too long. It's funny, I just wanted to get back into this slowly for something for my daughter and me to do and it looks like I'm diving in headfirst again. ugh ----> $$$$$$

Well looks likes I'm gonna to pick up a RC10GT RTR Plus next week, actually it's going to be a gift from my folks, for my 14 year aniversary of my heart transplant. I can't wait. I;m going to take out all the RTR radio equipment and but in my extra Spketrum receiver, and some hitec servos. Also thinking of adding a Crenszo Racing Brake System. But not sure on what fuel to run. The RTR come with a .15 engine that from what I hear is a easy engine to tune, so should be a a good learning experince.

Get the Dave Crescenzi Brake. Its from what I have heard, excellent. Dave is a nice guy, good products and fast shipping. I am saving for one now, I need more stopping power. Hopefully it will help me not run into walls.

I would love to run brushless in my T4, but would be sure how to gear it. I imagine I just start at 19T and work around that. Thats what I normally do when I change motors.

Nope have gotten out to LHR as off yet. But I add the turnbuckle because when I had my original RC10T(93) I was was bending and breaking the stock metal tunbuckles. I haven't really notice improvement in performace but they they look good for about a week and the blue starts to chip off.
