Right, of course u'd say that...I off'd my 2wd slash and now had the 4wd roller with my brushless velineon setup which is actually a stock 4wd slash and just tiddy'd it all up tonight so its finally able to run after having it a week!

Man...just about any tires seems to work. Stock AE tire seems popular. Suburbs were another popular choice.

Most guys are in the 30ish shock oil area.....Yes there will be a class for stadium trucks.

here is a reply from a fast guy over on our hobbyatlk forum.....

sc10 setup
stock team springs,
35wt oill front
30wt oil rear
front camber arms short
rear camber arms long
stand your shocks upright
run your slipper slightly loose
5.5 mm of droop front and rear
stock associated tires work great on the carpet
if you have a rear sway bar, use it,if not, dont worry about it.
center your battery

arent the stadium trucks what they were called and they are now called short course? His sig says he has a SC10 and if thats the truck he is asking about that would be the OFFROAD class and there are PLENTY of them as we saw lastnight, lol!

But they might call the T4 a stadium truck if i remember right and wouldnt that kinda be a 2wd buggy class possibly...

I dont know since its been awhile since ive been in the hobby and so much has changed just like computer tech to where its hard to even keep up

3 different classes. Short course, buggy, stadium truck...We usually dont have a separate stadium truck class but we do add them in the buggy class. For this race we may have enough for a separate class

Gotcha, Can't Wait! Good Ol' Chip is trying to talk me and my brother in law to racing also, lol

I looked at the T4 and see it was similar to my old Duratrax Maximum ST stadium truck i had YEEEEARS ago and the Duratrax Evader we bought my nephew for his first rc truck @ 5 years old last year or 2 years ago. He now has a VXL 2wd slash and a VXL 4wd now that they literally FELL INTO and didnt pay a dime for(lucky snits)
