New this season: 1:10 electric Stadium Trucks (still called 'Basher', but class name will be renamed after update).
This class will only be raced in open (modified) class for now. To attract new VRC racers into this class the rostrum view has been set as 'not forced'!
We are working on a conversion of the Bash Pit track into the VRC Bash Pit Stadium. When ready in time the new track will replace one of the tracks listed for 2025 World Series Season 1.
Enjoy this new exciting yet easy to drive class!

let's see how this class works out. The Stadium truck aka Basher drives very different from the SC truck, a lot heavier, bigger wheels, more power. Think it's more forgiving and therefore easier to control for beginners

I'm looking forward to this class, the name doesn't matter.

We have already the "Stadium Truck" class!
"Short Course" is the same as "Stadium Truck".
The picture above shows a car like the Tamiya Blackfoot and this would be called the "Monster Truck" class.
At the VRC Worlds we had only 25 racers in this class, therefore I don't think class will be the new breakthrough for beginners.
And about the car/class itself, why should new VRC racers be able to handle a fast modified car?
Maybe a "How to begin with VRC" video is needed to explain them to start with "Short Course 13.5", or "electric TC 17.5" or "electric TC spec" or "Basher Spec".
And about the track selection, the "Monster Truck" is not a race truck, therefore it should be raced on the smaller Off-Road tracks like MHS, RC Excitement, Outback, VRC Dirt, VRC Rally).
It always helps to think about changes and to plan changes before doing any change!
That Concludes another installment of the FUN Police. Until next time, where your series might be next!
