I look for AE to drop the T6 in the next few months with the release of the 2 new RTR being based on the 5 series.

No just a thought, based on AE's facebook comment about working on the T6 a couple weeks ago and on the release video of the 2 new RTRs. Since they made the Trophy Rat and DB10 RTRs both use 5 series parts with what must be a stretched B5 rear motor chassis. In the release video you can hear an AE guy state both new RTR are based on the SC5 chassis and parts. Well AE never released a SC5. Both new RTR have a composite chassis like the B5RM and are rear motor. This gives AE an outlet to get rid of the 5 series parts and retire the 4 series.

It's here to stay. Balls get dropped everyday. It's 100% not for lack of customer relations. Just in need of a spare e-mail.

cool, hopefully AE looks to run with things in the class with a T6.

Speaking of stadium trucks, haven't owned one in years, what other than say bumpers, body mounts, and tires are different between a stadium truck and SCTs?

Reason I ask, I am curious if I could try something here along the lines of what was done with the Tekno SCT410 to make it a SCT210, maybe make an ST210?

I hope that doesn't mean the end of parts support for the 4 series We plan to eventually add 2 more members to the fleet....But the SC10.3 is still alive. I may have to start hoarding B4 SAE outdrives though...

The dirt on that track reminds me of one of my favorite tracks, Back Country RC in Sands, MI. Long Live the Loam!











Anyway, Stadium is the most popular class at this track. The owner is old school and got everyone hooked on stadiums. Nice thing about a loamy track is that you don't necessarily need an up to date chassis to be fast.

No and the B6 and SC5M have yellow wheels for the most part now. lol

Bubba I am just thinking out loud and hoping for a T6 SC6, but if the RTR are switching to the 5 series, I kinda figure the 4 series gets retired. Hope not for your case. Plus like you stated the SC10.3 is pretty new.

Cain the chassis length is longer on a SC vs ST and the side rails are longer to fit the longer chassis on top of what elese you mentioned.

Ha! Havent been on here in so long I had to reregister, then I run across the home track. I got a new idea (stole from oval guys) for a drag on the sand box. And yes def thinking of ST this year. Missed it last yr.

Awesome! The more stadium trucks the better. Don't make the track too smooth, we don't won't to lose the natural "features"! lol

At my local track, they only run mod stadium truck if there are enough guys to run, which there usually isn't. Only time there's a good turnout for ST is when a jconcepts series race comes to town, then it's 13.5.
