Picked up a Stampede 4x4!!

[lincpimp]

Gave it a test run with a 3600mah 4s 12c (!!) lipo, ran great. Only did 10mins as I did not have the lvc set but temps on everything stayed below 100f. Plenty of power, I have the punch control set at 50% and it keeps the backflips to a minimum. I really like this truck, handles well on concrete and blacktop. Did not jump it yet, but did not the front of the truck bottoms out under very hard braking. Might have to add some fuel tubing to the shock shafts to limit up travel a bit.

Will the slash swaybars fit this truck? I may have to add them and see if it makes the hadling any better. It does not really pitch sideways that much, but I am used to MT handling...

Great truck, only issue I can see is that the rear driveshafts will not be lasting too long with the 4s aveox power. I will likely mod a set of rear carriers I have to use the old maxx shafts with the 6mm axles. Until then I will just enjoy bashing it!

They're super fun. So easy. Did you keep the rx box, or did you fab something up?

A few things to help with the roll and weight... if you haven't yet, lower that freaking body. Chop down the body posts 1/8 under the "integrated washer", tap a small hole in the underside and screw back on...

Another thing, not sure if you are keeping the stock talons, but I got the 2.2 revolver wide offset wheels. It widens the truck quite a bit.

With the body low and and a wider stance (yet still keeping the suspension where it was), it handles like a champ. I only flipped mine once yesterday during a whole pack.
