also is there any other modifications to make it into a racing stadium truck that u know of please help if all possible :shrug:
 
I Dont know alot about Duratrax, But they are a great beginner company, The truck you have, is very bulky. It doesn't have that much after market parts either, In fact, none to my knowledge from other companys. My advice to you is, Race the truck how it is. Get used to tuning and racing in general, Then sell it. Save up and buy a nice racing truck. If your going 1/10 Offroad, I strongly recommend either a Factory Team RC10GT, Losi XXXNT Drake edition or even RTR. These two are the best IMO at RTR or Kit racing. Then if your not that good at tuning, Get an O.S. CVR, If you have a starter box, Get the CVR, If no starter box, get the OS CVRX, Make sure its a .12 though! .15's are not ROAR Legal, and most club racing is ROAR. Well I hope i helped some. Good luck on your racing search!!!

By the way, Also look into the RB Engines too. Those are the racer's choice, The O.S i recommended is extremely fast, and one of the easiest engines to tune. The carb is the best carb In my opinion out there. I just wanted to add that.
 
For what you will spend getting the Duratrax raceable you will be able to purchase a more race ready truck. I am with sky here. You can pick up a great truck in good used condition from ebay or other sources. The new Adam Drake 2 is coming out so there will be more race competitive XXXNT's for sale out there than you can shake a stick at. I know where you can pick up a couple race ready RTR's for under $200. PM me for some info.

You may also want to see RCRUSH section here. He takes trade ins and he might be interested in what you have to offer.

Good Luck
