Picked up a Stampede 4x4!!

We don't do any of the exotics but for corrosion resistance and for the price point nothing beats 316. Actually I am not even a welder, (I'm the service manager) I just started seeing the frames we were buying from other vendors and they were always so out of shape we couldn't use them. Not even Boropark could build a frame that was straight. I ended up bitching so much about them that I said I could do a better job. My boss said see what you need so the next thing I know I was the welder. So along with my other responsibilities I was welding and fabbing most everything we make. Finally we started looking for a welder that was good at stainless. I went through 5 guys before I found a good one. My only requirement was that he was better than I am.

I have not, still waiting on the endmill so I can "properly" mod the other hub carrier.

I also found some more cvd drive cups and may use them instead of the revo ones I had laying around. We shall see. Still thinking 71 or 72mm would do.

Now keep in mind if you plan to do that and want to keep the stock rear wheels and do not have the lst driveshafts, you can use old maxx cvds (for the 2.5 tmaxx or 3906 emaxx) and they have the correct length axles to use the stock pede 4x4 rear wheels.

I am using the lst axles casue my pede 4x4 came as a chassis and I robbed the wheels off 2 of my other pedes, and would like to put one of them back together.

If you buy the same ebay brand maxx cvds off ebay the lst axles wil also fit. So you could swap them out and use either wheel, or run the lst axles and stock wheels for a 8mm track width increase per side.
