Aluminum tranny case

[GriMM]

Hey, I heard a while back that Fastlane was cutting a new tranny case for the stampede /rustler. I was wondering if there was any progress with that and where its at (when it will be available? )

fill me in Mike I want one of those to complete mah pede :)

[RC-Monster Mike]

They are currently available and the price is $60. I will get them listed in the store and try to get some pictures up for you. I just installed one in my pede yesterday! Sweet is all I have to say! It completes the package nicely.

[GriMM]

Awesome, Ill check it out as soon as they get listed.

Got any idea what their weight comparison is to the stock plastic crap?

[RC-Monster Mike]

The pede is so light, that ounce or so won't make any difference. They are very similar in weight to the stock tranny case, actually. My full aluminum extended pede is amazingly light weight and fast. Been playing with at around the house quite a bit lately(and I don't usually bash much!)

Alright! The first available gearbox upgrade for a 'Pede/Rustler! $60 isn't too bad either, considering that Cold Fusion sold their diff gear for $60. I just wish I had an available $60.

Hmm, I think I always under-rated Pedes. The stuff I hear and see here makes me curious. Would love to see a hoped-up BL Pede in person.

Ill post some updated pics of my pede, Its only got a mild brushless setup but its geared very tall and pops rolling wheelies almost at top speed.

what brushless setup you got ss?

[GriMM]

yep, the SS 5800 geared 25/84

The esc doesnt get all that hot considering its placement on the chassis, it gets good airflow. It does however heat the battery up real good, I only get about 9 or 10 minutes out of a pack before its too hot

yah thats cool, how fast you think she goes?

[GriMM]

I really dont know how fast it goes, I dont have a gps or radar gun to test the speed. It hauls though :)
