Stampede reborn?
 

Witness the most tweaked and retweaked stampede on the planet. Took so many nights to build it the way I like it that I almost don't even feel like talking about it. There's a custom chassis brace system I made on the bottom with a compartment for holding my 3S 6Ah Lipos. That's a sideways slide-out cover on the bottom to protect that battery. Beside's giving rock bottom CofG, you don't have to remove the body to change the pack. very handy! 100% steel tranny innards and a basic 5200 complete the deal.

That looks pritty nice, what shockes are those? Does anyone know is some jato shocks would fit?

they're just the traxxas big bore Al shocks with silver socks over the springs.....
last I checked jato shocks weren't a direct fit. The stroke is wrong for the back as well.

Looks very nice. What kind of speed and runtimes you get out of it?

Looks good! Bet she is pretty quick.

Thx. Haven't clocked her, but she's so fast I get nervous at WOT. I'd guess around 45-50 mph or so. Too fast for a truck honestly. Traction is the hardest part. Even Med Komodo dragons spin to baldness in no time if I'm not careful. I had to get some street tires for when I mess around on the street or I'd go through dirt tires within minutes. Runtime is like 25-30 minutes just fartin around at the tracks.

That sounds logical (runtime).. as for the speeds, it may feel as if your going 45-50, but really its probably around the high 30's low 40's.

thats good to hear...for about every 2wd truck tires will go bald quicker

I assure you it over 40 mph. I was clocking around 40 mph last revision and that was with revo response tires and a Lehner 4200. Since I have added the smaller lighter anaconda's (also less roll resistance), and the 5200 with it's completely maxed voltage.

Mike : Yea, tires go quick on pavement, not so much on dirt/grass.

Cadima : If your clocking it with a radar than it is over 40 (unless your using the hot wheels radar ;) ) .

I agree, I have a T4 that when i run a 3s lipo, i thought it was in the 50's, but with a radar it was only 45

For me i would have someone drive along a straight road with me in the car (window open), and have my buggy toping out and trying to go at the same speed as the car.

would probably be the bast way for ME to see how fast its going. And ill know that im getting a acurate reading.

LOL

I can see so many things going wrong with that method LOL. Any of you seen Oceans 12? LMAO

I don't trust my driving enough to do that.:007: Be my luck it would be like the monster truck video from XXX main, right under the truck:035:

Video you say? Link please.
