I like buggies a lot but I dunno since the stadium truck has been built I'm just looking at it thinking it has an awesome presence, it's just big and tuff

. I've never had a stadium truck before and I've never been a fan of 4WD cars so I think this just suits me

. The amount of rubber on it and the width can only do good things on the backyard track that most of the time doesn't offer much traction. Kedal thanks I will get that motor. I'll see If I can get some pictures tomorrow of the truck

Thanks for the pic zago.
The track looks so smashed !!

zagonielod · #**164** 30-05-2010

well..... the terrain is a bit smashed. but this is what we have. hopefully we will progress with the time

nicefrog · #**165** 31-05-2010

Looks a great track

! back in the early 90s most club tracks looked like that. Proper off road dirt tracks. Seems mostly these days they are smooth clay or carpet/plastic etc but I think dirt tracks with lots of bumps is keeping it real

zagonielod · #**166** 31-05-2010

Thanks nicefrog! Kind words from you. what about your truck? Could you show some pictures?

nicefrog · #**167** 31-05-2010

Not yet, tomorrow I'll get pictures. I painted it orange and green, it's a simple paint job and I don't like orange but it looks pretty good

kedal · #**168** 31-05-2010

Yeah I like your track too ! THAT is offroad !!

zagonielod · #**169** 31-05-2010

Hey, thanks a lot kedal!

It feels good to hear words like that. We have worked a LOT on it and will continue to work. It is on a hill and allways when it rains, we basically have to rearrange it because as the water flows it makes ditches all over the track. So we actually work 90% and the fun is the rest 10% :P
But it still worth it

ben44 · #**170** 01-06-2010

Yes it's most interssing you track than 100% astro.
When it's will stop rainning is we be just fun

zagonielod · #**171** 01-06-2010

Guys, approx. how much weight should I put in the front of the car and exactly where, to make it more grippy?

ben44 · #**172** 02-06-2010

You can find this :

or you can but 10 Grs up this original spare.

After you can but them near the servo.

You can use a wings on the front too.

ben44 · #**173** 04-06-2010

They will work for a new font chassi brace.

We must used the 2 part on the picture.

zagonielod · #**174** 04-06-2010

Sorry Ben , but what if you wouldn't use any more that stupid google translator and use a vocabulary??? or just simply try to explain it with the words you know.....

prorace · #**175** 04-06-2010

For what I saw on TQracing Thread on rctech, the factory just upgraded the front end, with a huge reinforcing just on the angle.

Due to the new shape of the front end, you'll need a new front bulkhead.

At least in the US, the two parts will be sold together (only one reference number for the two parts)

zagonielod, I drove the madrat with good tyres on it yesterday. You will be amazed how much more traction and how much faster you can drive with better tyres. Really reallllly a big difference. I put back tyres on first and then the front was pushing so much so I changed them too and then it turned TOO much. It was really strange because I was using Jconcepts tyres that come from hobbypro also and the fronts look like (I'm sure) come out of the exact same tread mould as the stock tyres but they must be a softer compound, I didn't think that would make any difference on soft dirt but it did. I was driving on loose slippery dirt on top of hard clay and still had a lot of traction and it was much much easier to drive

zagonielod · #**177** 05-06-2010

It looks like
I will buy some Step Up Stinger wheels with tires

They look pretty good.
BTW... I have had a race today with my Torche Pro. It was nice to drive a 4WD after a 2WD.... I am badly tired and burnt by the sun. I am going to sleep npw.
See you guys!

zagonielod · #**178** 07-06-2010

What do you say guys, should I buy a used Novak GTB for about 90 euros?

zagonielod · #**179** 13-06-2010

I could buy a Tekin Redline 13,5T motor for about 60USD.... should I go for it or wait several weeks (dunno how many) and buy a 8,5? ....

ben44 · #**180** 13-06-2010

On mine i will run 10.5T for indoor and 8.5 for astro or more big track.
I used Robitronic motor and ESC
