In a stock rustler or stampede I think you'll be better off with a Feigao 380C 6L versus the 540 8S. You'll probably be fine with running the 6L on the 7020, but I'd recommend the 9920 for the 8S. I am currently running a 9920/8S combo in my all aluminum FLM Stampede. I'm running 17:87 gearing and clocked a max speed (GPS verified) of 29.8mph on a 6cell GP3300 matched pack. With 9 cells, I should break 40mph easily which should keep up with your dad's Revo.

With a 6L, you should be able to get a tad bit more speed on 6 cells. I can probably give you more info this weekend on that as I have a 6L on the way to go in my relatively stock stampede.

thanks for the replay, I forgot to metion I would be running Gp3300's 6 cells for now in it. 29.8 thats moving pretty darn good.

also with these kinda speeds are they anything that really needs to be upgraded on either truck

My FLM Stampede pretty much has every drivetrain upgrade possible on it. It has MIP CVD's, FLM AL Tranny Case, Traxxas AL Idler, Traxxas Delrin Top gear, Cold Fusion Steel Diff and RPM rear carriers.

The other Stampede I have only has an aluminum idler in it, so I'll know real soon if that'll take the abuse of a 380C 6L. I'm really hoping this weekend to get some good data with it and also with running 9 cells in the FLM Stampede in the picture above.

wow, thats really nice. more money then I would like to have in one truck (since i have hear dtime having what I do have) but thats really nice. I had a alumium, chassis on mine but it kinda got bent, guess shuld have had ti build double thickness. yeah I figured a alumium idler gear, since everyone says to upgrade those. and the steel output shafts, I guess. yeah let us know how it goes with that one.

I'd go with the 8s and any 70amp+ esc. I've hit over 40mph on only 8 cells in less than 50 feet (radio range sucks in my apartment complex). Motor temps are around 115 by the end of the pack.

Also, as someone said earlier, go with the rustler. Stampede will wheelie way to much with the kind of power we're talking about. My rustler rides wheelies all day with my Etrex strapped to the front bumper.

oh yeah, well I like the pede cause its a bigger truck, but i planed on lowering it a little, closer to rustlers height, i just like the way the pede looks with big tires and all, looks more like a bad boy the rustler looks kinda wimpy( bad work but maybe you know what i mean)
thats a nice one you have. if you gear it with less tourgue and dont slam the throttle it wont wheelie as much
