the kickup was all that stopped me doing it a long time ago, bu I heard that for on-road the extra caster from the kickup wasnt needed, was counterproductive even so, after a bit of research on road cars all of which had no kick up I went ahead and made a flat chassis. You may not want to follow suit for an off road car or if you doheath the lower arms and twist them so they retain the angle of the kick up then, either mod the diff housings to mount the uper arms further back which may be tricky but would get your caster back, I dont know the stampede but on my buggy the top arms are assimetric and simply turning them round woul give me extra caster, dead easy but probably not the right amount though, or another option would be to cut material off the back of the top arms where the hinge pins go through then add shims to the front to take up the slack, easy to do and you can get the right amount but it wont be as tough as stock.
