I was reading the last few pages of this "official" 22t forum and the 1 thing that seem to keep popping up on this trread was losi's choice to go with the stadium truck over the more popular short course route.
The reason? Popularity... The slash has made it possible for the average Joe and their kid to buy a kit and race for about $200. Kids, the average weekly racer saw it on tv and said "I want it". Who did not own a slash at 1 point of their hobby life?
The other manufacturers jump on board and made kick az race kits. That killed the slash's momentum. The intrest grew seeing the TORC trucks on tv rocking Traxxas logos, seeing replicas of your favorite racer truck, and going out to race, and bang on the weekend.
ST trucks use to be the thing and ofna tried to revive it a bit by coming out with the TT. They even had a TT class near me, however that went away with the popularity of the 4wd sct.
I will buy one of these, because I'm a adventurous Losi fan. It will also revive the st class a bit. Which is great for Losi. Not to mention the smaller companies comming out with conversion kits. I personally cant wait to steal the shocks off this truck and try them on my xxx sct.
Bottom line........ the day Losi makes a 22SCT, this truck will go the way of the dodo's as well. You'd be lucky to have two full heats of A and B main ST trucks at your local track. So enjoy it now fellas.

I don't know... Personally I'm tired of SC. It's a little frustrating to try to get a truck to handle well when all you have to do is stick a st body on it and boom, it steers and jumps awesome. IF the ST class gets big at our lcal track I might sell my sct and get a 22t

just watched the truck get a podium at the 1/10 th nats thats not too bad for the first time out...

You guys realize all that's need for the sc is a longer chassis and some body mounts right? I would be willing to bet that is why this comes with 12 mm hexes all the way around. That is finally becoming the standard in SC.

Congrats to Dustin for the 2nd place with the new 22T after a whole 3 half track days with it...lol. He can sure wheel. The truck looked great out there in the hands of all the guys.
As for this SCT stuff...this is the 22T thread...there is a seperate thread for the other. Bickering about what should be or would be, what is is the 22T and its dialed!

I wasn't trying to single any one out, but there is a thread for each toy car, and if we want to flame one and praise the other, then make sure we are in the right one, otherwise there is no point unless we are trying to start a argument. I am excited to see a new ST coming out, I like the idea of it hopefully reviving the class, because it gives the pro guys another class to battle in. They (media) really don't talk about the SCT class like they used to talk about the ST class, at least not that I remember..
