The chassis of the Lightning Stadium 2 Pro deserves special attention because the base chassis has been upgraded to 7075 T6 aircraft aluminium alloy. This specialist blend of aluminium is extremely lightweight compared to standard aluminium, plus it's very tough and resistant to bending and scratching as you race around the off-road circuit. To make the chassis even lighter, several areas of the upper surface of the chassis have been CNC machined to lighten the chassis further.

Enhancing the already stiff nature of the 7075 T6 alloy, the sides of the chassis are bent up, and super-strong front and rear chassis braces provide a huge amount of fore-and-aft stiffness. The rear brace is made from extra thick carbon fibre, is keyed to the chassis for extra strength and attaches to the chassis with two widely spaced machined aluminium mounts. The Lightning Stadium 2 Pro is one of the stiffest stadium truck racing chassis available!

The radio tray and middle bulkhead are made from carbon fibre to add extra rigidity and lower weight.

The power delivery of the Lightning Stadium 2 Pro is provided by the same 4WD shaft drivetrain used by the US National Champion Lightning 1/8th scale rallycross buggy. Shaft drive is the way to go when it comes to truggy racing, because it provides it's the most durable and most reliable drivetrain available. In rocky, dirty, wet and sandy conditions, the Lightning Stadium 2 Pro drivetrain cannot be beaten!

The Lightning Stadium 2 Pro drivetrain features a bearing-equipped clutchbell, aluminium flywheel, steel spur gear, front and rear centre universal dogbones, spiral cut bevel gears, completely sealed planetary 4-gear diffs, tough steel outdrives, universal dogbones at all four corners, and a full complement of rubber-sealed ball bearings. Bringing everything to a fast and safe stop is a pair of cross-drilled steel disc brakes that are clamped with new one-piece calipers with specialised high-strength pads. The brake bias is independently adjustable to give you the best driving feel when you have to brake.

The Lightning Stadium 2 Pro features a complete set of universal dogbones to get the power from the engine and centre gearbox to all four wheels. These are highly efficient driveshafts with minimal backlash at any angle for fast throttle and brake response, so you get immediate response from the truck as you race around the track. Made from high-strength steel, the universals are very strong and stand up to the punishment of any big-block engine!

New composite plastic suspension arms replace the strong but heavy arms that were included with the Lighting Stadium Pro-R. These light but extremely durable arms are mounted to the chassis with all-new zero-degree aluminium hinge pin blocks and extremely tough carbon steel hinge pins.

The factory-fitted shock absorbers are fully assembled and filled with oil right out of the box, so there's no need to take time to properly build and bleed the shocks - just bolt in your engine and install your radio gear and get to the track! The shock towers feature five shock mount points for a huge range of tuning options when combined with the two mount points on the suspension arms. The shocks use captured' rod ends on the arms so they will stay in place and are protected from crash damage. The shock mounts on the arms are also held in place with unique screws that use an anti-clockwise thread for the front right (FR) and rear left (RL) shocks, so the screws do not loosen during a race day or a long A Final.

The front steering knuckles and rear hubs are also made from tough, chunky CNC-machined aluminium for extra toughness! The front universal joints are protected from rocks by the front uprights, and the rear uprights include mounting holes for optional mud scrapers for the inside of the wheels. The front and rear uprights use long screws with metal locking nuts to attach to the suspension arms for extra durability.

Tough steel turnbuckles and thick rod ends complete the suspension tuning, and let you make quick trackside adjustments. Multiple camber link locations let you adjust the roll centre fast for noticeable handling changes on the track.
