User:Donnie Park/Stadium truck



A stadium truck is a small, off-road radio-controlled car, either rear wheel drive or four wheel drive and primarily intended for racing.

Remotely_Operated_Auto_Racers designate them as racing trucks

The construction of most manufacturers' stadium trucks, are similar to those of buggies. Most feature wheels and tires that are both larger in diameter and wider for increased ground clearance and improved handling and stability. The chassis of most electric powered models is constricted of plastic or a fiber/plastic composite while internal combustion powered models typically have chassis made of aluminum.

Their appearance most closely resembles that of full scale trophy trucks and short-course trucks. The primary difference is that the tires and suspension components extend far outboard of the body, similar to open wheel race cars.

The name is derived from their full-scale counterparts, designed to run on a temporary offroad track built on a stadium field, much like stadium-based motocross racing and exhibition.
