Traxxas should NEVER discontinue the Stampede and the Rustler. Legend kits

[brianhein]

My local shop still had one of these on the shelf. After watching your video, I went back and picked it up. Tons of fun. Been rippi g it in the snow here in New York. I have a 6s revo also and I gotta say. The stampede isn't as fast, but it's no less fun. Thanks man. There's a reason they made that chassis for so long.

Hey Mark! So I made a huge discovery, I bought the rear x01 shafts with the rear knuckles and bearings and you won't believe it but they actually fit the Traxxas Rustler 2wd! Definitely a worthy upgrade better than the 1951r shafts.

Just have to lower the body and remove some shock spacers and/or adjust the shock angle and it gives it a super low profile look and also makes a huge difference with the CG. I have no rolling issues and it looks amazing. I have the 4x4 and it’s super light and super fast

[UnrivaledPiercer]

In all honesty, I think the Hoss just shouldn't exist. The Hoss is this weird middle thing between the Rustler and the Maxx. Which should be filled by an updated Stampede since it has been around for so long. They should have just redid the Stampede platform and named the Hoss the Stampede instead of competing within their own vehicle line.

Thanks fro another great video. I agree that the Stampede is forgotten about or at least not talked about. I think it's versatile and a lot of fun. Several years ago there was a guy named Jang on the Ultimate RC Youtube channel that had series of videos about the 4wd Stampede. It was called "Shapeshifter." He converted the 4wd Stampede into different types of trucks. He converted it to a 4WD Rustler when there wasn't a 4WD Rustler and put a 4S lipo in it. Some of the others conversions were a 1/10 truggy, a trail truck, a 4wd SCT, a Dakar Rally car, a 4WD sedan, and a 1/10 4WD buggy, The series showed how to lower the ride height, fit different types of bodies, use different Traxxas parts, using different tires, etc. If you haven't seen it you may want to check it out.

ill nvr forget about my stampede....ive got a og nitro stampede with a 1.5trx love that thing!!!!

[SpeedSyko]

I have a mint 4x4 with mip axles. Sitting on a shelf. Maybe it’s

[Fortuna_]

First rc I ever bought was the 2wd vxl stampede, I love that little truck and enjoy the challenge of keeping the 2 wd upright lol I beat the shit out of it, had to replace a couple things but it's still going strong

[rcloner]

I absolutely love my Stampede 4x4. Slam the body as low as possible, small pinion gear and some oversized tires and the stampede is a blast

[fishnrc]

Words to live by. I live near the beach & never taken my RC’s to it. Which is funny because today after finding a good rock area I was going to go check it out but went to our local lake instead. I kept thinking that the salt & sand would not be good for the RC’s. So ya you better spray them off & lube everything ASAP. I was fishing with a regular combo & after a few seized up I had to get a salt specific set up with everything stainless. I have no more issues now. But even if you don’t go near the salt water it will rust & could seize up.

[wolfenher]

I thought the Traxxas Telluride was actually the forgotten Traxxas rc vehicle in the line. The Stampede 4x4 has a lot of love from everybody

[LoXodonte]

I'd classify a stampede as beastly backyard basher. With a hoss, I feel like you'd need to take that thing somewhere to make proper use of it. At present I'm wanting the new stampede bl2s with some oba :)

[morpheis]

SLP! Are you in the houston area?! I just bought my first rc finally living my childhood dream!! Got a Hoss from RC shop in SW side & fan came off & lost in 15mins ><. Guess my welcome to the rc world as a first of many. Anyhow keep up the cool vids ive liked many of them!

[jeffbryner]

Man galveston is a dump! I drove 9 hours for my daughter's 16th birthday back in late September. She had never been to the ocean. It wasn't what I remembered as a kid. You go one block from the seawall amd that shit looked like Compton. My airbnb looked like the projects from Friday's or some shit. Definitely were some old pictures they posted online about the place. Poor girl was in the water 15 min got stung by a jellyfish. They were everywhere!! Even the flags were green not purple. Place has gone down hill. I wouldn't be bragging about being in the dirty smelly brown water cost haha

[rcyalater...]

I've broken so many driveshafts on my Stampede, bought teknos and no more broken shafts

[darrinhawkey]

i have 6 traxxas trucks ... 11 traxxas batts... will never buy a batt from traxxas again they puff up after 5 charges..

[barrysrcdump]

I love my Stampede, I built the kit version with a Max10 system.
The sway bar kit makes a huge difference to stability.

[ManuelOrtizification]

Stampede isnt forgotten. With the center diff out of the hoss, i still think the stampede wins.
You're 100% right about the power system, the stampede hits the sweet spot, the hoss is a bit much for the size of the truck, ends up being way worse for rollovers than the stampede.

Im still running the old brushed 2WD grave digger stampede, they're a lot of fun and i can hand off the remote to basically anyone and not worry if my truck is going to survive their driving 😂

[xoibor]

all i do is run my xmaxx on the beach, i can confirm YOUR CAR GETS RUSTY
