So way back in 2015 I saw a 2wd Stampede XL-5 on Facebook for $45 so I ran down and picked it up from the guy. It came completely rtr, charger, 7 cell 3300mah Traxxas nimh battery, the nimh wall charger and the old school fishing pole antenna Tq radio. It had 2 bent shock shafts, both the front king pins were bent and the body was in rather rough shape around the post holes.
Well over the years it had been stripped of parts and by 2017 it looked like this.
So recently I decided it was time to let the 2Pede shine again.
Initially I had it at this point. Cheap brushed esc, cheap brushed motor, eBay crappy aluminum shocks, Traxxas rear aluminum hub carriers and an Arrma ADS-7m servo.
But I didn't really care for that setup so I went a bit crazy and this is where I am at so far. Arrma BLX100 esc(I think I might stick a Max10 SCT RTR in it though), Castle 1410 3800kv motor, Traxxas Ultra shocks( I should have went with GTRs), a DS3225mg servo, VXL turnbuckles and Proline Mashers.
Right now I am still waiting on a boatload of parts to get it to where I want it.
