I'm really excited to see that, but it seems strange since truck racing is dying out. I would love for it to return, but return with trucks narrower. Like they were in the early to mid 90's. They are too wide for a majority of today's indoor tracks. Instead of racing, it becomes a crash course.

I'm guessing it's a tenth scale but it's impossible to tell from a photo. Maybe a competitor for the Losi mini t 2.0? Seems there's more of a market for something like that

Agreed it's a carpet car. The front tires gave that part away to me. I just was curious about what scale. I assumed it was 10th scale just wanted verification

It is 1/10 scale based I believe on the Cougar laydown, so should be suitable for most surfaces.

Can’t wait! It’s based on the Laydown buggy from what I’ve heard. Will be able to adapt it for clay im sure.
Truck is a class that seems to come and go at my track. Last round we had a full 10 car field which was awesome!

Except for the front arms looking a little on the narrow and fragile, side, I love it.

This is why I can never move away from Schumacher after starting with my first Cougar 10 years ago. I've only purchased one complete 2wd kit, but that original car has morphed from an SV->SV2->KD->Laydown and now it gets to be a stadium truck! I think all that remains from the original car is the lower bulkhead, steering, hinge pins, and front bumper, but it's still the same car, right?

Thousands of dollars wasted on option parts, upgrades, obsolete spares and 9 different chassis to get the car I have today, but what a journey!

Definitely the RC version of "Grandpa's Axe"

Sh*t, I bought a T6.1 6 months ago lol. Now I may have to sell that for this....

This is actually very cool to see, especially considering that this class doesn’t really run in Europe. Honestly, stadium truck is a great class for anyone to get started in. The trucks are easy to drive, and there’s really not much that needs to be done set up wise to make it drivable from track to track(assuming similar surfaces).

The only reason trucks in the early 90s were narrower, is because they were initially converted buggies. Once companies like Losey and associated started making dedicated trucks, they took advantage of the rules to make them as wide as they allowed. This meant longer arms, not to mention optimized geometry.

Based on their website, it looks like the arms are "Med Flex".

Interesting that the bearings used in the front hub carriers (U4380) are not upsized like the rear hubs (U7948).

It would be nice to have an alloy lower transmission case option available.
