    I used to run RC cars in the late 80's/early 90's and gave up on it so I could spend money on my gaming computer. I decided to get back into it in about 20 years later and bought a Duratraxx Evader for around $100. I had fun with that car, but it felt a slow and a little boring. I didn't even know what brushless or lipos were at the time. After doing some research, I decided to get a Stampede VXL. I don't think I ever even seen one drive before, just pictures of it. I figured with the big tires, it would easily drive through the grass. (something that my rc cars weren't very good at in the 80s) When I finally got the Stampede, I was blown away by it. TONS of power, TONS of torque, crazy fast! I could plow through anything with it. I didn't have a lipo charger, so I started out with an 8 cell NIMH battery. Later that year, I upgraded to a 3s lipo and this car was insane! No matter what I threw at it, it kept on going. Years after I had it, it stopped moving and I thought the spur gear was stripped. When I took the motor out, I realized the motor shaft was not centered and not right. I took the motor apart and found one of the bearings went out. I didn't have any new bearings in my tool box, so I took a bearing out of another part of the car (I think it was the steering block), put and old bushing I had in the steering block, put the motor back together and it worked perfectly fine. I didn't like the collapsible wheelie bar that came with it, so I bought a steel bar from the home depot and made a home made wheelie bar/ skid plate and it works great. I still have the Stampede today and it still lots of fun. It's one of my favorite "toys" of all time. Thanks Mark for the video and your memories of your first Stampede.

    My son and I both have 2wd stampedes. We started out in the hobby together. We’ve both upgraded to vxl, rpm parts, and custom bodies. We also have an erevo now. But our stampedes are still our favorite trucks to drive in the yard together.

    My first car was the stampede 4x4 brush edition. It got me hooked quickly. I now own 5 cars. Got the wife and grandkids into the hobby. I agree the design is weird. I lowered the body with lowering mounts and put on Talon tires. It still has good ground clearance and it looks a lot better. However, I put the stock 'paddle' tires on it this past month to run in the snow and ice. Total blast.

    The Stampede XL-5 was my first ever hobby grade RC that I got almost 15 years ago, and I STILL have it today! I got it for $125 shipped from Tower Hobbies back when they still used to sell Traxxas RCs and had coupon codes for them! I remember the first day I took it out, I cartwheeled it on the street and the camber link broke on it - same as yours did lol. Guess that's still a weakness almost 15 years later.
    Also I went to my "local" hobby shop (they're 100 miles away) at the start of this summer, and they literally had from floor to ceiling about 5-6 pallets of Stampedes on their salesfloor. I wouldn't be surprised if the Stampede is the best selling hobby grade RC of all time, they go through so many.

First basic titan basher, then slash wheels and raced with short course, then went brushless with street foams and lowered, now geared low 3650kv 60a with a 3s 100c LiPo on the summit tires--- U N S T O P P A B L E

    Basher to race basher to full on onroad + offroad racer all around SoCal then eventually back to basher here. Stampede is iconic to me. It was there for all of it when I wanted to just mess around with something, or throw it down for Gearbox class. I now have two, an original with a revo-spec slipper and 13.5 Novak upgrade, and a XL5 grey chassis version with RPM arms, shock towers, and camber links and STRC aluminum knuckles, caster blocks, stub axle carriers, and skidplates/chassis braces also with a Novak 13.5 and Havoc ESC and badlands tires. Also packed the diff with marine grease for better control. These things are great in the sense that they just keep going. Brother and cousin both got new ARRMA RCs and are impressed still when they drive my Stampede. Love it.

    G'day Mark people playing Cricket in USA that's cool. Use a small hole punch to put hole in the centre of tread so as you drive the water will fly out the hole. Best to do when you are building new set of wheels and do not use a drill tire use a hole punch 👍👍

    My first hobby grade was a nitro Revo. I asked my brother if he wanted a RC too because he watched me run mine a number of times. He said sure and i asked him what kind he'd like. He told me something with a decent amount of ground clearance. Ended up getting him the Stampede 4x4 brushed. His exact line to me after he ran it his first run was "I'm a 30 yr old using a toy, till i pulled the throttle and it did a wheelie. From that moment i realized how fun these things are" Since its purchase, everything has been upgraded except the chassis. The only thing he breaks anymore is the motor shaft and it's a 5 mm shaft motor. Broke the motor shaft twice now since i think 2011-2012. He still has it and has the original body, but he doesnt use it much anymore.

    stampede 4x4 vxl was my first traxxas, and i too thought the body just didnt fit the chassis all that well. mine didnt like going too slow, and the motor would not start, leaving the only option of flooring it to make it move. i took a massive hit when i sold it, and bought a brushed emaxx after that. def enjoyed that truck more with its titan 775 conversion and 4s lipo. fast forward to now from almost 8 years ago, and im running a HOSS 3s. the thing is an absolute monster and i plan on doing the diff fluid swap that you did to yours.

    Hey Mark, I have two Traxxas Stampedes and I love them. I would like to see you upgrade yours to a brushless motor. I think you would enjoy it alot better.

    Poke a few small holes around the tire and centrifugal force will eject the water. I did this to my 1/16 summit tires. Love the vids they are always awesome!

    I literally picked up a nitro stampede Monday and have been talking about how this chassis and platform is one of the most under rated and they have so much potential

    Hey Mark if you get the 4x4 Stampede there is a way to solve the body clearance issue. I don't know if you're able to do a similar mod to the 2wd or not. I have the 4x4 VXL, it was my first RC car and what got me excited about the hobby.

    If your tires get full it’s best to vent the tires or they will break soon

    Hey mark! Youre probably not gonna see this. But i have an e revo 2.0, i forgot to plug the holes. Then i remembered some rc companies vent the tires instead of the rims. Basically what i did was heat up the end of a 2.5 hex key and let it melt thru the tire. I havent had water problems since

    @roberttierney9284 Před rokem

    I have been putting 2 1/8th inch wholes in my tires 180 degrees apposed in the middle of the tread. When the tire spins, out comes the water. Started doing this with my T-Max years ago. I still do it on my race tires.

  • @crazylarryjr
    @crazylarryjr Před 2 lety +1

    I bought a used broken stampede (The old school with the plastic mid gear) for $40.00 chassis roller no electronics. I ended up making it into a quite nice basher with track abilities. Why did i say track abilities? because I entered it in the Stadium truck class and finished 2nd place. This was a 4 car class with an RC 10 T3 and two RC 10GT's. My setup back them was a Tekin Rooster esc, with a 13 turn trinity (one of the stone motors) I was running Masher 2K's on I want to say HPI 6spoke wheels. best $40.00 I ever spent

    And we also use the rich duperbash technique for the tires. Seal up inner rim vent holes. But drill two holes in the tire itself. All the water comes out as you drive it

    @kevinflanders327 Před 2 lety

    I owned three stampedes & lost them in moves. Then my love for the hobby dropped off for two years, but got a 1/16th slash, sold it due to my hobby shop telling me there was no upgrade path for it, which made me sell it for a 2wd Stampede. I upgraded it to a castle system, rpm parts. I still have it, and rebuilding one a buddy totaled before selling it to me.

    Add little weight by using stick on tire weights. Had to add 3oz's to front of mine to keep it down so we could just drive it. Did cart wheels and wheelies. Just fast. Great video.

    My first Traxxas was a brushed Stampede. It was fun but top heavy. Besides lowering it and putting smaller diameter wheels and tires on it, you can mount the battery under the frame with Velcro straps.

  • @Westside7be

    cheapast traxxas is the Bandit XL5 if i'm not mistaken. I bought a XL5 2WD Stampede (with rock'n roll body) for my 5 year old and we are loving it. I possibly like it more than my 6S notorious. Relatively cheap to buy, and once you've put a bit of aluminum in the front suspension (as well as bearings) it's very reliable and lots of fun. The brushed engine also means we can drive it really slow and crawl it. And yeah, our stock tires are out of balance and yeah, I inverted the front and rear tires too...You didn't notice it but it makes the front wheels rub against the body. Get a wheelie bar to protect that body though!

  • @dirtlyf6540

    Bought the pink stampede for my sons 4th birthday. Thing is a tank. 1 motor and 2 or 3 servo savers have been killed and that’s it. He’s 5 now been running it 100 percent on 2S Lipo I forgot how good it looked new.

  • @EXTREMERC416
    @EXTREMERC416 Před 2 lety

    You have to vent the tire trougth the rubber and tape the holes. Its a must do on any basher. Gun needs to be able to get out. If you only tape the holes the tires will balloon wrong at high speeds.

    Pro-Line body mounts and a custom body will fix the "toy look" easy, really just the mounts. The stock ones are a bit long, not as bad as the 4x4 though.

    @Jonsellscoolstuff Před rokem

    We have the 4x4vxl and 2wd stampede and they are tough to beat for the price. I enjoy the 4x4 over the xmaxx or the sledge especially if hitting the skate park. Send it 20 feet up if it breaks your only out 25-40$ in parts.

    Tape your vent holes with good tape before you run in water. Or poke an outer vent hole to drain the water.
