With the release of a new buggy, has anyone heard rumors of a new stadium truck?

I'd agree with this assumption, I think it will be some time yet before we see a T6. I'd tend to think if and when it happens they will have a single kit based on what combination of configurations are popular with the people running B6/B6D's.

I was about to purchase a T5M when the B6 was announced so I ordered a B6D instead of the truck. I'll probably end up passing all together on the 5 series truck and just keep running my CT4.2, I rarely run truck so holding off on upgrading another year is no big deal for me. I was just getting bored and felt like putting together a new kit, the B6D will scratch that itch until they update the truck again.

I've got to believe a new wheeler will be next kit coming down the pipe. Everything other platform is fairly up-to-date.
I might jump on a B6 kit real soon. I've got pretty much all the goodies on the truck that I need or want. And I've been itching to get into buggies. Torn between the B6 or the Losi 22. I know they're both gonna be good, but which one will be best out of the box? And which will handle wear & tear better?

I am saddened with this recent phenomenon of skipping the Factory Team kit evolution. Hope this isn't the wave of the future. Those extra 2 words mean so much to us!

For REAL! I know the newer old kit is still competitive but in the hands of average joe it is just far too fragile!

Besides the MIP topshaft and cvd kit what else can u get for lightweight transmission parts? Ceramic bearings in the trans worth it at all? I not sold on the idea but haven't tried it...

So tell me..
When I switched from my tricked out blue chassis rc10gt to the rc10gt2 I was faster with the gt2 straight outta the box.

If I go from my t4.2 to the T5M, will I be faster out of the box?

I was just curious if people felt it was that good of an upgrade. I felt the gt2 handled better with no hopups or bling, which translated to more consistent laptimes than the old truck. I guess I was just wondering if people felt that was the case with the T5M compared to the T4 line. Guess I might have to sell some stuff and pick one up and see for myself.

Just from the parts being stronger I would say up yes, for finishing more races.
