    for the 2wd stampede in particular, i would suggest the kimbrough servo saver 124 large. its 7-8 dollars which makes it twice as much as the stock one, but it is significantly stronger with a longer lasting spring that will take big hits and not break your servo or come apart itself. the stock ones have a weak spring and the shell will warp or break easily. that would be my #1 upgrade for the stampede after getting a servo. i also prefer running the 3.5mm adjustable caster links and steering links for increased durability instead of the 3mm in the front or the stock plastic that breaks easily. also aluminum tie bar in the front to save your hinge pins from getting bent is only $10. also the stock shock towers go pretty easily, the rpm nitro rustler shock tower with rpm slash body mounts is the most durable options about $10/ea

    Keep in mind, the Bandit front arms and caster blocks are different from the Slash, Stampede and Rustler. They are a bit shorter and "beefier", the caster blocks also use a thicker hinge pin. Other than that, they are the same up front.

      We all like rom parts. They dont break. The aluminum bearing carriers are the way to go. One thing you missed on too 5 and i guess this is depending on how alhard you go but i upgraded my shocks. Not just the caps. I hit a jump on one front tire and bent a shock piston like it was nothing. Upgraded to traxxas titanium ones which come with aluminum caps.

    Another valuable Video!! I've tried to avoid buying Traxxas - because of how they caused the entire Crawler Market to RAISE their Prices - and when the TRX-4 first came out, it was nearly $500!! But because every kid in America bugged their Daddies until they bought one...
    They sold so many, the other Manufacturers said "Hey! We could be getting more for ours!!"
    So everybody's prices went UP😠😡😭
    However.... I want to get a Basher!! Been a long time. Aarma and Redcat make some good ones...
    But I KNOW from experience that a Traxxas can REALLY take a BEATING!!!
    And for 30 years, RPM has made the strongest upgrades, period.
    So I guess that's on my list also! 😉

    Ever since I bought my traxxas bandit 3 years ago and I use it here and there once or twice a week nothing has ever broken in it. Except the shocks got saggy but that’s because idk what I’m doing and the body has cracks because of the bashing. It’s the only traxxas vehicle of mine that’s lasted this long every other some thing always brakes and it takes longer for the parts to get here before some things else brakes.
