Stampede project done
 

Just finish my stampede project, now it's time to try it.
FLM tranny case, ext. chassis, alloy diff gear, steel idler, Ofna Hyper 7 suspension, MM esc, maxamps 5000mAh, 3s, Feigao 540 9L, gear in MOD 1 revo 40 tooth and 9 tooth pinion, Jammin halfoffset Maxx size wheel and Panther Komodo tires. Toped with a Peoline Revo Crowd Pleisure body, that i've paint myself.
I don't have the time to try it, but i'am little scared about how the drive train will hold the power of the 9L on 3s and the extra load of the bigger tires.

With the body on, it looks just like a Revo. Very nice work on it. My only suggestion would be to make a skid plate protecting the exposed motor and tranny case, or get a wheely bar like the one from Swami-RC.

The alloy diff gear, aluminum idler and tranny case should easily be able to handle the power. My only concern would be the plastic top gear. Here is a steel one you can consider getting:

That looks awesome! Nice job painting the body too. I think the drive train will be fine; one Q though, by "alloy diff gear" do you mean aluminum? Or do you have the FLM steel diff in there? Also what are you using for the rear CVD's, that Ofna suspension must widen the truck a bit.

I've the top steel gear, and the diff is the FLM steel. And yes it's the Hyper 7 CVD's.
And JNEV, the top shaft you link is for the nitro stampede and don't work on the electric, the pitch geat is not the same.

That's a really nice setup. Love the paintjob man.

Oh, sorry about the wrong link. But with an all aluminum tranny, you should have no problems at all. :smile:

Are you sure that's a 540 9L? Looks more like a 380C can to me. Nice setup though.

Looks like a 540c L can to me.
As for worrying about the drivetrain, my rustler has the same transmission set up/ mods as yours, and Im running 4s 5Ah lipos through an 8l with bigger, stickier (onroad) tires, with no transmission problems.

Very nice!!! I like the out-of-the-box thinking on this truck. You will not have any problems with the drivetrain. I have the exact same setup in a tube frame pede/buggy that is way heavier than yours and it holds up fine. I used jato spus and 32 pitch pinions, but that would be the only difference, and stock grey plastic trans cases.

Can you give more details on the "Ofna Hyper 7 suspension"? What is required to get it installed? Is it way better than the stock setup?

I have the same question as rvogster. I have really been wanting to do a Rusty lately, and that only makes me want to do one even more.

Truck looks great, by the way!

That looks great man! Nice and clean, good parts used around, nice job. :yipi:

that's clearly a 380c L motor.

Yes that's a 380c "L" on the pics, but taht was just to take the pics, now it's a 540 9L, with a 40 tooth revo spur and a 9 tooth pinion.
For the suspension setup, i've take the a-arm of the hyper 7 TQ sport all around with front c-hub and CNC hyper 7 front knuckle and axle, to mount 17mm adapter and Jammin half offset wheel.
On the back it's same things, hyper 7 arm, hub carier, axle and dog bone, with 17mm adapter and Jammin half offset wheel.
For the outdrive cup, it's the Hyper 7 outdrive cup that i've drill another hole just beside the existing hole (the one where the allen screw goes), and put a Revo driving pin (the pin how hold the driving on the diff outdrive on a revo) thrue the hole in the stock traxxas output shaft on the diff. (Don't know if you understand my poor english:whistle:).
The big problem is the shock setup, it's verrrrrrrry to soft, and need stiffer spring, but i can't find a harder set of spring for my shock, so i'll put a set of Ofna Hyper 7 shock at all 4 corner.
The truck is on the heavy side compare to the stock Stampede (maybe twice of the stock weight), and this week-end i'll bring it to the job and put it on an electronic scale and give you the exact weight.
that's it:yipi:

Could you possibly get some close ups of the suspension, and possible the shock towers (what I'm more curious about).
