So now, we have stadium truck, R/C's that don't look like trucks, but more like oversize 2wd buggies with blob bodies on them. Don't even know why they have "truck" in the name. They should have just made a bigger 2wd buggy with a buggy body.
I agree with you about them being called trucks,but disagree about mostly everything else...ST are quite fun to race,more forgiving than a buggy and drive closer to a buggy than a SC truck...I'm personally not the biggest fan of buggy racing,just can't find the time to get good enough and compete with all the guys racing in this class....my 2cents
