ECX is working hard to create awesome machines for those looking to bomb their backyard or any other off-road site. Their new 4WD offerings, like the Circuit 4WD Stadium Truck shown here, appear to be more than capable of dishing out the action but we wanted to take a closer look at the truck. Our Circuit 4WD just arrived and we tore into it to give you an RCD Reveal of what’s under the hood. The truck is ready to run with everything you need inside the box. Is this aggressive off-road stadium truck something you want in your basher stable?

Box art details. Look at all the cool features.
During thrashing to get the vehicle out, we often forget about the packaging. The truck is boxed up and protected so you should have a pristine model with you buy it at the shop.
Here is everything you get with the Circuit 4WD kit. An assembled truck, Spektrum DX2E radio, Dynamite charger, AA-batteries and manual. Just buy and drive.
The stadium truck body has a low aerodynamic look to it; we like it!
ECX scores points for a cool paint scheme and wild decals.

Although this is a basher, the ECX Circuit 4WD has a nice balanced layout and the motor is easy to get to.
The chassis is made up of two pieces, the main chassis and the front plate. The center indent is a support rib that reduces chassis flex.
Long stroke oil-filled shocks feature aluminum upper and lower caps.
A composite rear tower supports the shocks and fixed link rods keep the rear suspension secure, but don’t allow for any tuning/ camber adjustment.
Dynamite’s waterproof ESC is also LiPoo ready for those looking to make a pack upgrade. The 15T motor provides plenty of power for beginners. The Spektrum receiver indicates that this truck comes with good, reliable radio gear.
A 2400mAh 6-cell NiMah battery pack comes with the truck and is fitted with high current EC3 connectors. The battery compartment can accommodate a variety of pack styles.
Upper and lower arms mate up to hefty steering knuckles that attach to the arms with king-pin ball studs. A unique steel pin attached to the arms acts as a steering the stop.
Medium compound rubber tires feature chunky block treads to tackle all terrains. The black rims look killer and have a 12mm hex adapter.
A large rear hub means large axle support bearings that will handle power and hard hits. The arm is braced outside the hinge points/ hubs for better durability.
