It's not often when you see a new brand jump into the world of RC but ElectrixRC is doing just that. They have taken the approach to design all-new vehicles from the ground up to be fun, durable and affordable electric-powered cars and trucks for people to take their first steps in RC. The first entry from ElectrixRC, the Circuit Stadium Truck, dives head-first into one of the most popular classes for beginners—the stadium truck class. Known for their good handling traits, ability to drive in a variety of areas, increased ride height and more, stadium trucks have quite a following and were a logical way to get started. We had a chance to get some early running with the Circuit Stadium Truck recently to see what 120-bucks got you anyways. Looking at the truck it looks like you actually get quite a bit as the truck features oil-filled shocks, an electronic speed controller, two sets of transmitter and receiver crystals, 20-turn motor and full ball bearings! That's right, every rotating part of the drivetrain and all four wheels are supported by ball bearings. We loaded up the camera gear, charged up the battery, applied the decals and got ready to hit the dirt running.

The truck can run with lipo 2s?

[HorizonRCdotCom]

@Carlos16valvole Yes it can.

[Tdogg0864]

with is be all put together normal! How fast does it go? I would like to put a bigger batter in in like a 7 cell 3300 would that make it fast also! This is my first rc car need help!

[HorizonRCdotCom]

@Tdogg0864 Out-of-the-box speeds are between 18-20MPH. With a 7-cell you should get around 25MPH.

[Stoned483]

Does putting a higher voltage battery in it like 8.4v or 11.1v make it faster?

[HorizonRCdotCom]

@Stoned483 Absolutely. However I don't believe the ESC is rated at more than 8.4V so I'd double check the manual if I were you.

[Carlos16valvole]

@HorizonRCdotCom Cut-off is a problem or not?

[Stoned483]

@HorizonRCdotcom ok thanks

[JacobthePCwhiz]

@MrTacman7 adjust the speed control on the controller, it should be marked in the transmitter's manual

[oscarpleco]

How thick should the oil be for the shocks..............30 wt?
