Getting a Stampede - FML parts?

[Thomas P]

Ive been reading a little about this car, and FML...

my plan is to get the Extended chassi (the 150$ version)
Steel idler gear
Steel diff (but i did see it was out of stock ,ny ideas when it will be availble again?

WIth the extra wide arms,will it be needing the extended CVDs ? (i think yes)

How about some tranny parts from the BL-Stampede? will that take 2-3s lipo and a 4.5t Orion for an example?

Aand finaly, do i realy need to buy a rtr stampede for this?

a list for me,as i am new for this brand and kind of cars(only racing 1/10th buggy normaly)

what parts il be needing if il get loose parts for this one, and where to buyém..

i have a pede, and first off i love it. IMO, theres no reason to do the flm wide arms, and only do the chassis if the smallest jump u hit send it is 30 ft. i think u should get the VXL, it comes standard with the steel tranny. my list of must have upgrades: RPM arms/bearing cariers/caster blocks all around(and maybe toers, i haven't broken one), integy bulk head, integy piggyback shocks, slash body mounts, extra spurs/servo savers, and rear nitro rustler wheels/tires all around (yup, it works, i run them)

I have most of the same but a CF chassis - Keep the front bulkhead plastic IMO - Nice to have one sacrificial cheap part!

Buggy front shocks in the rear and revo shocks in the front...

The config in the pics is for a speed project but easy as a basher too!

I've run this with a Castle Neu 1515 1Y 2200 on 4s...

Sounds good..can Buggy or "truck" shocks from ex Losi or AE be used on this truck ?

Il think il go for the FLM chassi anyway i like it. even if im no "bling" man, i realy like it.

Ok, so getting a VXL, and then upgrade the other stuff ya saif...how about the FMLs steeldiff gear?

i can get a Pede for 134$ what does a VXL cost...im no need of a BL motor or ESC; have that @home..

Since i have some LRP sphere esc here @home, do we think it will be enough with 2s lipo and say a 4.5 motor? ok, i can edmit that i would luuuv to run 4-6s on a low turn motor, but some controll would be nice, what da ya think ?

[Arct1k]

With the amount of flm you want I would just by the traxxas bits you need on eBay.

I'm runing a 7l now with is fine but if I was buying a motor now I would buy a medusa 50mm 3300 with a mm.

On the diff I just use the traxxas steel ring diff from the vxl and the steel topgear.

[Thomas P]

Sounds Nice m8, may i ask one more thing..There is no chanse that you can help me with a "More" specefic list on what il be needing besides the flm chassi?

name,link and store.

that would be ACE of ya :):)

Hey Thomes, I have a vxl pede roller (no motor, esc, rec, or servo) that I could sell you... It has a brand new body that was never run, the truck has been run maybe 3 times, less than 30mins total. It has the full steel tranny gears and the revo style slipper, so it is about bullet proof for brushless. Let me know if you want some pic or info.

I also have a flm pede chassis, not sure if it is the ext version or not...

[Thomas P]

Lincpimp, il have to get back to you, sounds real nice

Arct1k, what can i say :d...thank YOU!!! EDIT, is that tranny case a must? (or mostly pimp, or is it neccesary ?), bearings and so? just get a full stampede kit ?, no more parts in the tranny?, should i get a rcscrewz kit ?

Other stuff is now sold, so it will be ordred Saturday night or Sunday :P

EDIT2: What rims fits this truck? is it regular 12mm hex rear? ex HPI,RPM, for rears...what kind of fronts does it need?

[Thomas P]

May i ask, thoose -->17mm Hex Wheel Adapters that they offers, im not sure, what rims can be used? since im gonna use the super EX chassi and wide kit, any tip of what can be "cool" ? or is it a waist of money ?

[Thomas P]

550$ for my complete race redy TEK18X today...am i glad or what...Saturday another 550$for my BJ4WE car + a 2wd custommade.. 1100@on a FLM - stampede...so, this wont be any thread that dies..it will be ordred...it will be one of a kind exekt the layout..

Stay tune

Ordred a complete tranny..rest will be next coming week...

A Q:

30 Series rims from Proline, can they be used on this truck? if so, is there anything extra that will be neded to useém ? like HEx or so..

Hingepins, for arms etc, ar they inkluded in this kit? i mean for rear hubs and fron C-hubs etc or do i need to get them loose?

Since i am new on this one..

i have 80A Constant 120A peak 2s 8000mah lipo they are 145mm long will they fit?

[Arct1k]

I actually like the nitro front end caster setup...

[Thomas P]

But about the shocks..is it front around, or just like regular, long-rear | Short in front :)?.

As you can se Arct, i do not know anything about this truck...They have never inspired me , until now :D...

So everything else,that will be needed to get it running, i would be real glad for it.

Best regards Thomas a Traxxas Stampede newbee
