TLR needs to get their shit together. They seem behind the curve these last couple of years.

[@andrewpitzer245]

Man that 1st min edit went hard! Love it!

[@shanealberico]

Man if only stadium truck was a little more popular I’d build one of these. They look amazing

[@preyingmathis2517]

Build a team associated T6.4 instead. Then you will never need to wonder if you can get parts and also won't have to do any Frankenstein mods to make it run right. The TLR pro drivers arguably dont even drive TLR cars. They have team associated parts on them and a plethera of other brands parts on their cars to get them to be able to compete with team associateds previous generation of vehicles. And this is coming from a TLR fan that is now shelving the TLR because of the lack of factory parts. Its sad.

[@VestedUTuber]

@@preyingmathis2517 I've been moving away from TLR myself as well, though I went with Schumacher. Mainly because Schumacher cars are easy to set up for different surfaces and don't really require you to buy a separate kit for dirt than what you would buy for carpet. Yes, I know Schumacher doesn't have that good of parts support in the US, but I don't care. Religiously following the "only buy what's locally supported" advice as though it's a law is how we got into the whole "we only carry Traxxas and Arrma" situation with many LHSs in the first place. Besides, "available online" is far better than "effectively non-existent" like with the TLR stuff.

[@tristar3005]

Stadium truck has been growing a bit at our local track, enough to have two heats at least.

[@michaelharvey-nb6vw]

Ryan, this was an uplifting video for me. I love your passion, attention to detail, and the precision that you appear to apply to every aspect of your racing, wrenching, editing, and lifestyle. The positive energy you project and foster in regards to friendly competition makes me want to race again for the first time since high school ('93). I'm an AE guy but adore some of the Losi branded basher products I have in my collection, and this quasi-retro full comp ready homebuilt project is absolutely stunning. I don't know how I wasn't subbed before, but I won't miss another vid. I'm so glad you are in a place of recovering from the 'bumps in the road (track!)' that we all encounter in life to be well enough to continue giving so much of yourself on this platform. No pressure brother, but keep it up! The only request I could have (particularly in regards to your upcoming 'secret' AE 4wd project) would be If you are aware of any options to make that and other competition models safe to run on my vintage all natural sandy loose loamy bermed backyard track, mostly as it relates to enclosing the spur gear. Open spurs have kept me from updating beyond the B5M platform (which fortunately has had a boost in upgrade and replacement parts availability due to the popularity of drag racing) and I would be over the moon to drive a modern 4wd AE buggy if I knew I didn't have to listen to the spur deteriorate with every run. Maybe fellow viewers have encountered the same issue and can provide insight based on their own experience, so here is a plea to any like minded 'performance based bashers' who can save Ryan the time of responding so he can focus on winning friends at the racetrack and providing polished, professional quality videos for us all to enjoy. Many thanks Ryan, and viewers from around the world!

[@daymay801]

I’ve had my truck converted with the vision stuff for a year now and it’s by far my favorite car to drive. I just tried out the softer side rails recently and the truck became glued to the track, they’re worth a try for sure! Also it broke steering spindles constantly so I put 22x-4 caster blocks and spindles with a few slight modifications and dialed now!

[@preyingmathis2517]

You inspired me to get back into RC and also start racing. Never raced before when I was a kid. You also inspired me to actually try to do decent paint jobs. Thank you Ryan. My midlife crisis could have been so much worse than RC cars lol

[@dannyfox8170]

Just built my t6.4 with buggy towers, buggy front shocks and some custom drilling. I am stoked with the build myself.

[@justinstephenson7504]

I built one after watching this with only a couple of different parts than what is used here and it was great immediately. If you don’t mind tinkering, massaging on on some parts and thinking outside the box, it’s a fun and rewarding build!

[@CarBoreBoy]

Loved this, thanks! Stadium trucks definitely take me back to my youth and it's an itch I'm going to scratch next. Kermit is obviously a genius, nice to meet him, but I only had eyes for that beautiful blue E39 BMW in the background so shout out to that lad, too 😄

[@Cereal_Killr]

Way back in the day I had an RC10GT... it's what got me into the hobby! Stadium trucks are just something special... take driving skill!

[@Logan_gamble]

I loved that truck. Once it stopped eating spur gears.

[@jarenpachl8429]

Love Vision Racing products! Absolutely great stuff.

[@thomasnash167]

Gluing the sides to release traction potentially preventing rollover, 😮 normally I 🤔 think like that. For some reason this was a "NO DUH". I have to admit whoever came up with that first was a genius. Thank you Ryan

[@stevochang]

Love the B74.2 tease! Have a very similar build on the ready, can’t wait!!!

[@xS.B.FEINx269]

Awesome!! Wish guys would do more in depth rig rundowns,that truck is 🔥

[@ThatKoukiZ31]

Hey Ryan! Alex Via here. I just pickedup a used L1R and new B7. Shaft wheelers are too samey so I switched it up. Last weekend I threw it down with AE shocks off my 74.2 but an other wise carpet setup and it was money! I might run it this weekend, idk we'll see. But this video makes me want to rebuild my T6.2. Staduim was my first class I ever raced so its always got a soft spot in my heart for sure. Next time I go down to FL I'll DM you and Dustin for sure!

[@hfhsantos]

that intro clip with that smoke, SWEEEEEEEET! :D

[@nick_cnc]

Its refreshing to hear you speak a little more candidly about the TLR parts situation now that you're not in any sort of relationship with them that might affect your video content. Also good to see you branching to new stuff like dirt oval and AE cars. I would love to see that comparison video between the rear motor and mid motor 22 buggies you promised a while back when you did that video about buying used cars. Any plans to make that video? I always suspected TLR quashed it as they didn't want any comparisons to cars they don't currently make.

[@FLOSSYEM1]

hell yea love the stadium truck content!

[@dat5un]

Love your work Ryan it's great to have you back.

[@warracer03]

hell yes , more stadium trucks !

[@007teal]

I love stadium trucks and still continue to race it even with the small lack of turnou. Thankfully the gas truck nationals in idaho will have stadium truck, vintage rear motor buggy, nitro stadium truck etc hosted by adam drake. My 22t rear motor 1.0 converted 2.0 will be there and my xxx-nt will

[@scott8277]

sick rig! keep the good content coming

[@powertothesheeple5422]

My bet is the team guys run 3D printed body mounts. There was a guy at my local track that would 3D print about anything you wanted and was not expensive.

[@FueledUpBrandMedia]

What's the rigidity like on that?

@@FueledUpBrandMedia VERY material and printer dependent.

[@diggy2107]

I was a team losi nut in the 90' s as I have been wanting another stadium truck as I got back into rc and buying everything else, wished I had another one because to me this was the staple of rc. (Perhaps losi could do a limited edition)

[@mattconnelly9889]

This may be an unpopular opinion but if TLR factory drivers are going to be running stadium truck TLR needs to buck up and make a new truck. We shouldnt have to buy a $300 kit then add $300 more in stuff to have a current truck. Either make a new kit or discontinue truck like keeps getting rumored

[@LyroLife]

There are other options for 2WD stadium trucks with great part support. Schumacher, Team Associated, Xray XT2, or just get the Traxxas Rustler which I am driving on the carpet track ( video on my channel )

[@cameronlogan01]

Awesome video. Just blows my mind that TLR is slacking so much. Even Dakota is making his own parts/running AE parts.. I think that says something. They need to make a 5.0 stadium and get their part situation sorted. I love my 22t but I can’t get anything for it.. close to going AE.

[@joshuajkoplin]

FRANKENSTEEEEEEEEIN! Awesome dude. I love builds like this.

[@Nobodycares2024]

I bought one when they came out and because of my racing experience i bought a ton of extra parts i knew wore out or broke often. I also bought an entire kit i got for extras, its still in the factory cellophane.

Question, as someone that is just getting back into the hobby after a 20 year break. What is the difference between stadium trucks and truggies? Is there one? Can you race a truggy in a stadium truck race? And Vice versa. Thank you for the help, love the videos.

Stadium trucks are 1/10 scale rwd and truggies are 1/8 scale 4wd.

[@HeliTeamOwl]

what an awesome Truck. I love my 22x-4 Elite Buggy, and i would love to use a new TLR 22t 5.0 Truck, and not my Asso T6.2 ..... Really sad that TLR didn´t build a new one. But for me it is not possible to buy all the parts in the US, shipping to germany etc. :-(

Just came here to say I was the 1k like ❤️

[@bradpittman5075]

Dude that is sick man. Probably would be cool to have a little more tlr support but I get it. What a beautiful rig man and kick ass achievement. I am also a lover of stadium truck. I personally would prefer 1/10 stadium truck and 1/10 truggy over buggy and wheeler at the moment but i love them all. I understand the market dictates of course. But for sure sick ripper man. Beautiful unit.

Oh….. I thought you were maybe building/making a REAR MOTOR truck. Still pretty cool I suppose.

[@michaelharvey-nb6vw]

The parts are all out there for adapting a rear motor AE b5 platform, using (currently discounted) DR10 parts, b5m/Dr10m nose clip and a custom chassis from alu/carbon/fiberglass. I have one in the works that is all (polished) aluminum with a green fibreglass chassis and matching shock towers. It'll be an all weather basher to compliment my B5, B5m, T5m and custom T5(rear motor) race stable.

[@brianlackie5093]

It's cool. I used to race Stadium trucks it's a lot different now but it's a cool truck I like to slick tires.. cool truck

[@InstrumentvanVrede]

What's the point of apl these brands if the buggies are so similar? So you left TLR?

[@DimitriR81]

I have buggy shocks on my 5.0T, think the Proline Axis truck body fits really well. The 4.0T is d/c but that parts aren't. Everything will be back in stock in a few months. During an interview at the worlds, it's basically confirmed there will be a new truck when the new 2W comes out. Build one, they're amazing. I won both my A3's with my 2W and my truck at the last club race, and beat my buggy time with my truck!

[@soonrc5470]

I recently switched to AE for the very reason that you said not to build the truck. I had built that truck (built mine from a 4.0 truck so it was more truck than buggy), a 5.0 truck and it was a world beater on carpet…then in practice I got hit in midair going over a double and my truck hit the outside cinder block barrier and broke an arm and bent a turnbuckle. Not one replacement part on the wall and didn’t have any in my stash. Equivalent AE parts were readily available. Bought the AE truck that night. Haven’t looked back.

[@andrewromain7756]

I thought the whole point of the 22T 5.0 build was to use the shorter buggy chassis, and shorter buggy shocks? This build is a completely different take on modifying the 22T 4.0 to perform better. Still a really nice build...

It looks reminiscent of a cousin to the main character in "CARS" .... Light😮 ning. Almost looks too nice to drive. (till you said carpet). Not bashing at all your paint and design skills are as pro as your driving vids etc.. I have a 1/10 scale track here at home. Working on the 3rd layout integration. Running back to back should be able to get almost a 1/4mi. out for them. Still driving the same 3 RC10GT's from way back, and some others. I need to at least try club racing.
