The original stadium was created by adding 2.2" truck tires to a 2wd buggy. They were fast, fun, and they got around any track very well. Way back in the early/mid 90's, stadium trucks became wider to allow them to be more stable on big tracks. However, all of us, who drive on smaller tracks, are stuck with a big clumsy truck. Instead of a race, the track turns into a crash course. Especially when the younger crowds our out there. The wheels end up getting tangled up together because drivers get to anxious and try to pass before they can do it cleanly. Or, you get that driver that swerves out to prevent you from passing.
Long story short, I would like to get a current buggy and add the 2.2 truck tires on it, like the days of old. Therefore, I can race it on a track and not take up half the track.
So, What are your guy's thoughts on it? I'm not trying to make it a fad, but it might help to bring back the stadium truck class. I checked the Roar rules and it is legal and the current race buggies are a lot stronger than were in the beginning. The 4 gear gearboxes would work really good on with this design.
