traxxas stampede

I don't know a whole lot about gearing but I have been trying to learn. But now I have a question for you guys. Should I stick with the stock gearing when I put the 2.5r in my stampede? I just checked it and it's 66/18 (stock.) I'm not really sure what I want as far as top end speed or...

Decided to take back all the crap RC's i bought my 2 year old and get her one of the Rustler or monster jamb RC's... She loves stealing the controls for my nitro and playing with it so its time to get her one that will actually be able to go through the grass and small hills and dirt piles...

Ok, so it has about 3/4 gal through it so far and the last 2 times I took it out it didn't run right. I have a chance to take it out today but I need to figure this out. The other day (it was a cold day 30s) I couldn't get it to idle right, It idles high then it wants to start moving forward...

Well after my issue of snapping axles and tires, the ESC and motor has gone south. I called Traxxas and they said to send it back due to it being only 14 days old. Hope they send me new ones... Has anyone dealt with sending stuff back to them? are they timely ? and stand behind their product...

There has always been something about the old Stampede's that always got my attention. Just a basic little truck that could. Well this build was going to start with just that a basic little Stampede and work from there. However the LHS made me an offer I couldn't refuse for the 4x4 version and...

So i put a 3s 6400mah lipo in my stampede 4x4 vxl well with in 5 mins i snapped a rear axle. Ok went to the hobby store and picked a pair of rears for it. Went back to the park, let my wife use it this time, told here to go easy on it and she was and... yup snapped the other rear this time! Is...

I just put a brushless system into a stampede roller I got from my friend and I only have one problem. The rear end sags tremendously. What can I do without buying stiffer shocks?

Hey guys. I'm going to be upgrading a lot of parts on my traxxas stampede. One thing I'm doing is switching it from brushed to brushless. I am looking for a good ESC and MOTOR. Not necessarily a package deal but good quality aftermarket parts. I don't want just the stock ESC or motor as I went...

Does anyone have the proline performance transmission? What do you think about it. I'm upgrading my stampede to brushless and when I do I am going to be upgrading a lot more, this maybe being one of them! Let me know what you guys think of them. Thanks.

Well I have a few questions, I just found my nitro stampede in a box at my parents house, if I remember right I got itwhen I was 13 or 14, so its about 13 years old or so, I want to get back into RC, so I'm tossing around the idea of getting this old girl running again, so my first question is...

Hey guys, so I have (well had) a team Orion core stock motor on my traxxas stampede. I was running it and noticed it was getting extremely hot and started to smoke from the motor. I initially thought it was because I had just replaced the brushes on the motor and the LHS said it would run a bit...

to make my 2wd stampede brushless do i need to change anything other than to esc and motor?

As some of you may know, I recently acquired my first Hobby-class RC car, a Nitro Stampede. Well, for the first time yesterday I got to really take it out and give her hell. I still haven't gotten it fine tuned, but I can tell it is running on the rich side, low speed needle seems to be about...

Hi everyone, I am just starting to get into RC cars/trucks and I recently bought a brand new RTR Traxxas Nitro Stampede. First of all I am sorry for so much text but I like to be specific to rule options out. I'm going to cut to the chase. When I was pushing the receiver antenna through the...

Hey guys, I'm having trouble with my Stampede vxl not running. It turns on fine, radio controls steering just fine, but when I give it throttle the motor just jolts but wont spin. I took the motor out, but lefted connected and it does the same thing. I then took and put that motor in my...

Anyone got any tips?

Does anybody have any parts that they do not want anymore? It would be much appreciated...Please and thank you.:)

I have about a 225 budget and I want to get a brushed stampede with the xl-5 esc. What is a good brushed motor that would make it faster? And other things like battery upgrades to make it faster?

Any tips on how to maintain this? Please and thanks. -Dakota
