The only good part of my on track festivities. A fun battle for the stadium truck title. Finished 2nd with my T3.

Both of my 2wd buggies (B2 and B3) were a bust.... literally.

That's a pretty close finish between 1 - 3

Yeah. Though, it was a bit of a shit show with the layout, surface and lap trucks.

Freddy posted a video on his Youtube channel. To make it easier to follow, especially later in the race, the white truck won, then my truck above in 2nd, and Freddy's T4 with the red wheels in 3rd.

That stadium truck race was awesome!

Jason,
Can you share your T3 setup:
- ESC / motor?
- Gearing?
- Shock springs/oil/mounting position?

And what about tires?
- I did not have good traction with B3...
