A year later & got the 'pede vxl , mostly for the 272M gearbox, the fun appeal & to keep the Bandit company . Think ill call it Iguana for picking the Green one. đ
sweet rides bro! ive heard that "monsterjam" wanted way more than traxxas was willing to pay to keep the "monsterjam" pedes going...shortly after that "skully/craniac" were born... we can still get the sweet green parts and plus the blue parts as well! long live traxxas!
Thanks, these are my original wheelie kings and all though they are more entry level Rcâs they are still a lot of fun to drive, what would be cool is if Traxxas actually came out with a true Monster Truck, built like a monster truck, with huge tires like Losi did, that would be awesome!
Thanks, holiday season is coming up so I figured I would feature some of the Rcâs that got me hooked back in the day, more to come, I guess I will keep going down the list, then move on to my Arrmas, thanks for watching brotherđ
I'm surprised you didn't add the Ford fiesta rally & yes I own the bandit I recently added the velineon vxl system & yes it rips like hell đ€ I run my bandit on 3s the lipo I'm using is the hoo vo
@karlfortuin5794 the rally car is super slow stock, Iâm talking 20 mph slow, I added a center diff, changed the electronics to the vxl system, up the gearing to a 15/54, Iâm hitting 55mph now, Iâm good with thatđ€
@@nickbueno5522 well it all depends on what you wanna do, the bandit and rustler are the fastest out of the trio stock, with the rustler being the fastest out of all three, we hit 60 mph stock with the rustler! All three can go off-road and all three are wheelie kings! Iâm not making this any easier for you, am I lol ? At the end of the day you really canât go wrong with any of them but if it helps the Bandit vxl is my favorite đ
I like the rustler too but the body catches wind, the bandit is pretty much the same as a rustler however is more aerodynamic at high speeds and doesnât catch wind in a wheelie
Nice clip mate. Rippin those traxxas beasts. We've got 1/8 proline badlands wheels, foam, glued tyres with 17mm axle hexheads upgrade. The extra speed, and strength tyres give you make it sound so quiet when bashing/jumping/crashing. Can almost roll upside-down under full throttle. Avagud1
Thanks a lot for making this video, it helps me a lot in deciding which rc car I want. I was stuck in between the Stampede, the Rustler and the Bandit. But now I see the performance and stability of the rustler I think I want that one, anyways thanks for making the review, helped a lot with deciding and not having to look up each individual RC car.
@@rcreviews9894 Thats awesome! But I sadly found out that I can no longer get the Traxxas for another 2 years. Lol, that sucks because it would've been my first second rc, but I'm ok with waiting! Still excited!!
Thanks, with the holiday season coming up I figured now would be a good time for comparison vids, hey quick question, when are those new Arrmas releasing where your at? I see people here on the tube running them already?
@@rcreviews9894 I didn't get a definitive answer at either hobby store I go to. But I thought first or second week of November. If it goes into December for me I will not get it until next year. I don't buy myself anything in December. It's my rule lol.
@@rcreviews9894 I've seen people running them but they are either getting them for review right from arrma or they are getting the demo unit from the store that are not supposed to be sold early.
Absolutely Great video. Very well done sir. I am considering the Rustler 2wd VXL/TSM for all around bashing and then the Stampede 4wd VXL For snow, sand, mud etc. I do you think of that combo? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.
Get the 2wd rustler thatâs brushed put a 3660 can 3300kv 80amp esc that can do 4s and do a 32p upgrade easy as well and itâll be ridiculously fast ! Go with a arrma big rock instead of the stampede ! Big rock with traxxas sledge hammer tires and thatâs it the big rock is a monster in any terrain! Had to give you my opinion since no one else did!
Thanks, well you canât go wrong with the Rustler vxl, I drive mine mainly on the street, itâs super fast stock out of the box! We hit 60mph for a stock top speed! The stampede 4x4 vxl is a good truck! I have the 2WD and the 4x4 vxl, Both are wheelie kings! Thatâs a good combination of solid Rcâs, I like the Maxx or the Maxx v2 more for a good solid truck that can do pretty much anything anywhere! Thanks for watching đ€
Great vid ! I have a rustler vxl and bandit vxl already but was wondering if you think there is any point of getting a stampede vxl if i already have a hoss ?
I think so, I gotta have em all lol, it is built differently and handles differently, so it does feel different enough to be itâs own thing, itâs up to you really, actually if you head over to my community tab on my channel Amain actually has a good sale going on, a lot of Traxxas Rcâs on sale, check it out for more detailsđ
Interesting video. However, I don't quite understand your complaint about the Rustler. Can't you just put a Bandit body on it to keep it from catching wind? Problem solved.
The body catches wind on the rustler and acts like a parachute, itâs not that big a deal but worth mentioning, the short course trucks suffer from the same issue, thatâs why most people modify the body by cutting out holes for wind flow, itâs not that easy to just throw a bandit body on the rustler, the rustler has different body post mounts, and the bandit has a integrated body clip loop on the chassis and they have a different suspension setup, so even though they are very similar in build quality, it wouldnât be as easy as just swapping out bodies
I have a brushless Stampede, among many other RCs. I don't know what it is exactly because it doesn't handle very well, it drives kinda goofy and it usually only has 2 wheels in contact with the ground at any given time but you can't help but laugh whenever you drive it. It takes a beating, moves pretty quick and when setup correctly can catch some big air and land right-side up. I guess you either love it or hate it. It's not my "best" RC but it's among my favorites.
You know, you described it perfectly! It is exactly that, it is a bit clumsy lol, probably one of the only trucks I drive with some discipline to keep it upright lol, It is fun to drive though
I run 3s in all my Rcâs, if itâs a Traxxas, I run Traxxas brand, if itâs a Arrma, I run spectrum smart batteries, in this run we ran a Traxxas 3s 5000, I havenât had any over heating issues
i want to get a stampede VXL 4x4 Brushless because i can get it for a fair price, my friends are riding the traxxas slash. can i keep up with them? should i get the stampede, whats your view?
The Stampede 4x4 vxl is an excellent truck, I have both the vxl and the 4x4 vxl versions, if you can get it for a good price I donât see why you shouldnât get it, the stampede 4x4 is pretty fast stock but as far as being able to keep up with other trucks that is easy, just change your gearing đ
well, the dude eventually did not sold his stampede to me, so i went to the store and bought a new rc, it happend to be the arma granite. so things did not go as planned.
@@malachichanthasena8002 yeah the stampede 4x4 is an off-road beast! I have one myself and I love driving it! You should check out those LED head lights Traxxas makes for it! They are cheap and real easy to install in that front bumperđ
@@owen8538keep in mind that the team associated mt10 is a 4WD, these are 2WD so by default a 4WD in theory is better simply for the fact it can handle off road terrain better
I would have to say between the three of them the bandit and rustler are kinda tied for first as far as handling goes, they are both lower to the ground, the rustler has a wider suspension, so it may handle better into turns where as the bandit is more aerodynamic at high speeds and can hold a wheelie at high speeds! The rustler can too, to a certain degree, however the rustler will catch wind so you gotta watch out for that, the stampede is decent, itâs fun to drive but doesnât handle as well, still a good rig though đ€
Ty for making this comparison video. Makes things a whole lot easier than searching each individual car and comparing them yourself.
Thanks, since these are all in the Traxxas 2wd line it just made since to compare them all together! Thanks again for watching đ
A year later & got the 'pede vxl , mostly for the 272M gearbox, the fun appeal & to keep the Bandit company . Think ill call it Iguana for picking the Green one. đ
Stampede one of the toughest rcâs I own!
Got the monster jam gravedigger converted to brushless front wheels never touch the groundđ
Nice đ I remember those, I wonder why they quit making them, the monster jam that is
@@rcreviews9894 not sure but the bodyâs go for a fortune mines still in ok shape luckily! Sheâs not the fastest stock but extremely durable

Any suggestions on tires that will last longer running on concert..thks
