Picked up a Stampede 4x4!!

If you want tougher stub axles you could try the Tekno M6 shafts.
They have 6mm stub axles instead of the 5mm traxxas and most after market CVDs have, and I love them in my Slash 4x4. Haven't had a chance to really test them though. Stupid weather.
They are for the 4x4 Slash, but suspension looks identical to the 4x4 Pede, so they should fit. They do come with their own plastic axle carriers to accomodate the bigger bearings. In the front you could get different bearings for the stock axle carrier, or modify the axle carrier, there is enough material there. But in the rear, no way...
