  • On average driving it just like you are in this video review without crashing it, how long before you haft to start replacing parts?

  • @MKSaibot I've driven this truck off & on for over a year with different power systems and in different configurations and thus far not a single part has broken for me. I chose to upgrade my rear axles only when I put a 1/8th scale motor in the vehicle with a giant 4S (14.8V) LiPo to run it with street tires on asphalt. In my experience, if you don't abuse this truck, it doesn't break.

  • @UltimateRCnetwork Ok well then I am sold, hope this place is open tomorrow because I have a track just waiting for this thing. Thanks for quick reply!

  • @UltimateRCnetwork right out of the box, how do you think the stampede would fair as a "Crawler" in terms of the amount of heat that would build up running at low speeds, stock chassis set up, gear set up ect. ? on a scale of 1 - 10 :)

  • @Russxm 1 being the worst, 10 the best? I'd put it at about a 2.

  • @UltimateRCnetwork Damn the URC boys r quick!! im relatively new to serious rc'ing and ive been looking around for the past couple days, but cant put my finger down on anything. the main uses for my rc would be on the beach (so waterproof), crawling, and rough terrain doesnt have to be blazing fast but reliable.. pls let me know which rc fits this criteria and has a reasonable tag on it.

  • at 1:24 he says slash its a stampede

  • @JRS1235678 They are Slash 4x4 arms. Notice I said Slash 4x4 quite a number of times throughout the video.

  • i dont know which one to get

    The Slash or The Stampede

    Can i get some advice?

  • @SparkyCheeze48 stampeeds the way to go i just wish it wasn't soo high /:

  • Theres a vid for a bodymod on jetlag2222's channel!

  • when is the 4x4 rustler coiming out?

  • just bought 1 today ... love it

  • Do you still have that truck?

  • i just have a 2 wheel drive and it wont go in snow out of the box what kind of tires do you reccomend?

  • i want to have one

    

  • How much run time would i get out of a 1800mah 2S lipo?

  • How long do batteries last in these trucks ?

  • Rechargeable batteries are?

    I just Brasilero

    I say that if you are in the vidio that rechargeable batteries are not understood

    I think his many great vidios!

  • @2000rcman If you want speed AND off road go with the mini E-revo. The slash is too low to the ground and has too small of tires to be good at off roading

  • Do You think the 1/16 slash vxl is a good car for speed and offroad driving? please respond

  • how much long the battery stays before shes done ????

  • so if i went through a deep hole it wouldnt screw up the electronic

  • @MrBeastwood2

    No, the electronics are waterproof.

  • Would you recommend a Savage XS or Stampede 4x4 for mostly bashing. I like the durability of the savage but the stock steering servo, esc, and motor don't seem all that good and guessing just the opposite for the stampede 4x4. Is the stampede any more durable than a rustler? Thanks.

  • Ya that is what I ment it is a very good rc truck I think I love driving it in snow good thing for water proof good vid keep them up

  • I have that I tightened the center differential so it has less tork more exelaration so no weeles for me!!

  • @TheCjcoon This truck has no center diff in stock form. You must have tightened the slipper clutch.

  • @UltimateRCnetwork if he tightened the slipper, wouldnt that make more wheelies?

  • @UltimateRCnetwork i tink he has loosend the slipper because there no wheelies/less tork :)

  • You said the shock gards ar bolted on to the slash 4x4! It's a stampede

  • @dumboy2471 They are Slash 4x4 arms. Notice I said Slash 4x4 quite a number of times throughout the video.

  • Every car you show have you actually bought them , if so u must be loaded lmao

  • This or the Savage XS Flux?

  • @ss3man1 This!

  • how long is the battery run time per charge?

  • hey jang can u please help me...im am new to rc's and i was running my traxxas stampede 4x4 vxl and then it stopped and u could hear the motor running but the truck wasnt going. please help!

    

  • @straightupjacked You couldve snapped a drive shaft so check those. Take it to your local hobby shop

  • @straightupjacked check that your pinion gear is meshed ( in contact ) with the spur gear sounds like it might have moved

  • @straightupjacked gears are shot

  • Awesome vid. Looking to get in to rc cars, what car is recommended? Nitro electric? Please help. Uk and on a Budget.

  • @SuperEggfriedrice electric for beginner. What exactly is your budget? Try signing up for ultimatercnetwork(dot)com and ask in the 'Which RC for me section'. Hope your first experience goes well.

  • freakn sick

  • hi there, i just wonder how does it make balance ? i mean i saw on the video the battery slot on the left, and right side is empty, ? i just wonder that thank you for answer for now.

  • nice video i have a stampede4x4 but i need to get a new system for mine because mine got ruined from water.

  • i got a 11.1v lipo 3s 5300 mah for the stampede is that going to burn out the motor?

  • GOT ONE FOR CHRISTMAS YAY its awesome =) highly recomend this truck

    

  • I just bought a traxxas stampede xl-5 its my first hobby grade rc and its all thanks to you :D

  • what is the biggest battery it can run safely

  • thats a kinda nice truck :) i just bught a rustler vxl for like 2 days ago and ill just got 1 question can they drive at that u are driving at ?

  • Can I put a tekin 550 4.5 motor on the vxl esc

  • hey i bought my truck and snapped the front a arm in the first 4 minutes of breaking in my battery so i ordered some aluminum ones would you recommend a bigger bumper... i ran it into a railroad tie due to doing a wheelie and loosing controll lol

  • ok im a newbie to rc cars and i took my stampede apart like an idiot and put it back together and i noticed it doesnt do wheelies anymore from a standstill. it lifts a little bit but not like it did before. does anyone know what i have done????? i also messed with the camber and toe in but dunno if that has anything to do with it.

  • @bumblebeeetuna were you using the motor alot before taking it apart of so break in the motor 

  • what a pleasure to watch... great stuff ;)

  • It looks like it tips over very fast or does it just looks like that? I don't know what to buy : stampede or slash?

  • The issue i have with it's price tag is that i could pick up a 1/8th scale Savage Flux for about $130 more. Hmmmm, don't know what to do.......

  • Do you have a review of the E-revo brushless?

  • Is the wheelie bar removable guys?

  • @jaredscoots1 yes

  • Slash 4x4, stampede 4x4, or summit 1/16 4x4 vxl for bashing?

  • so i have a bandit VXL, im kinda tired of it (no 4wd, low to the ground, and the vxl is surprisingly weak) but do you recomend it? you say you like it, but is it worth it to a guy on a budget.... 410 is a lot but is it worth it?

  • do they have a brushed version of the 4x4 yet

  • @xXSniperzzXxGA brushed wouldn't be powerful enough, short of giving it the titan 775 from the summit, and it would be WAAAAAAY slow if you did that.

  • u should do a review of the ecx torment sc truck

  • is this the $400 one?

  • im trying to decide whether to get the traxxas summit or the traxxas stampede and i need to know whoch one is better

  • @zmbousman i have the same problem as you

  • @zmbousman

    The summit is considerably better than the stampede.

    The summit is a good all rounder.

  • @zmbousman get the summit all around a better truck and better durability just picked mine up last week and love it

  • So the question is this....Should i buy one of these for Christmas?! :)

  • @niceNcrispy83 YES!!!!

  • thumbs up for the mhmhmhmh

  • I got my stampede for $172 on ebay brand new

  • what about a summit 1 10 scale?

  • does it come with a controller or u need to buy it separately?

  • @GrantCucio yes it does

  • What size is the stock spur?

  • awesome!

  • will you make a video on the summit (not 1/16)

  • i dont know what to take, Stampede or a Slash? But I think Stampede is better for terrain and the slash is more stable....????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • How do u fix it to go 60 mph

  • @classiccarfan100 replace spur gear , pinion gear, and battery

  • how about emaxx

  • @traxxasrcs100 Already had 2 over 10 years ago.

  • @UltimateRCnetwork should i get an emaxx or stampede 4x4

  • @UltimateRCnetwork emaxx or stampede 4x4

  • @UltimateRCnetwork do it have brakes that you can put it in revers and it will stop or dos it have auto brakes

  • @UltimateRCnetwork you think a rock crawler body could fit on it? cause how small and narrow the body is?

  • @traxxasrcs100 Emaxx is a great vehicle but id go with a slash 4v4 brushless its a little faster and easier to controll

  • daddy ? :)

  • sick stampede love the vid

  • fruitmonsta180 Get an HPI savage flux hp. i have on and an e maxx bl and it definately is stronger. and faster!

  • Hi jang. Im looking into the emaxx and wanted to know if its a tough truck. I only use the stock batteries and casual offroading and no bashing and i want to know if its tough enough. Please respond, thanks

  • @FruitMonsta180 it is a awsome monster truck and is a very good offroader and traxxas is very good as durable goes

  • @FruitMonsta180

    want something durable as hell, go for Savage Flux HP... way more solid than both these trucks, and wicked fast :)

  • Is it possible to convert a slash 4x4 into a stampede?

  • don't know how you do it man, awsome review as always

  • cant decide stampede, e-maxx, or 1/16 e-revo? Any suggestions will help?

  • Great review! I have a Stampede 4x4 VXL. I recently started using a 3S LiPo. Unfortunately, I've been having problems with the truck. It seems like the truck is being sluggish. Keep in the mind, the battery is properly charged. The truck is set up to handle a LiPo battery, yet the motor is working too hard and there's not much pick up to show for it. I already opened up the center diff and noticed nothing wrong with the seals, gears, or bearings. What could be causing this???

  • @Robflesh have you upped your gearing to 17/54 and what mah is your battery?

  • @stanleythedoogle Hey. Sorry for not replying. I use a 3S, 11.1V, 5000mah, 20C Venom battery. I just was the standard pinion for the motor. I found out that I just needed to tighten up the slipper clutch. I felt like an idiot once I realized it, but at least it was a good learning experience. Since then, I've bashed the truck and changed out the rear stub axels, a rear wheel hub, and I'm waiting for an order for a new wheels since the wheel hub shaved the back of the rear wheel. It was odd.

  • How long would the big batterey pack last for, on one run

  • got to my first choice of traxxas was the 1 16th slash 4x4 vxl then the hpi blitz then the stampede 4x4 then a redcat racing copy of the e revo then the emaxx brused then the summit 1 16 vxl then the final and the one i bought the slash 4x4 and raced it in norcal hobbies for 30 min and i knew it was the best choice ive ever made after wacthing so many vids by jang GO JANG!!!!

  • You uploaded this vid on my B day

  • STAMPEDE OR E-MAXX!??!!!????!??!?!

  • @japplesauce01 savage ^^

  • @japplesauce01 E-Maxx is better if you can afford it. It's bigger, the same top speed, 4X4, has WideMaxx suspension, and can take way more abuse. If you want to go stupid fast and can afford it, go with the E-Maxx Brushless Edition. 65+ MPH, the same top speed as the original Stampede VXL, and 5 MPH faster than the Stampede 4X4 with a 3s lipo - the E-Maxx can take 6s - two 3s batteries.

    Even if you're just talking about the XL-5 'Pede and the 30 MPH E-Maxx, still go with the E-Maxx.

  • 2:38 how long does it take for the battery to charge anyways???

  • damn nitros make too much noise and are way too slow

  • @sickboypy No interference if it is a 2.4 ghz

  • i just baught a stampede 4x4 roller for 166 dollars shipped

    i already have 4 new talon tires, a extra never been used 2075 servo, and a velinean system ive used and is now been put in a box for storage

    NO BRAINER lets have another toy at half price LOL

  • Whats better? Stampede 4x4 or E-Maxx?

  • what a beast

  • can u do a review for team losi mini lst2

  • How fast will it go on pavement 100% stock

  • beginner question: if i buy two of these can i run them without radio interference??

    what about interference between this one an the xl-5 one? thanks!!

  • @sickboypy If you have different crystals both transmitter and receiver you should be fine.You can pick up a 2.4 ghz combo for about £30 and that will guarantee you no interference.

  • you should try the traxxas erevo

  • I just got this truck. Very fun. Very good. I only bought a Lipo for it the day i got it. Runs very good. Dont worry about not having enough power because i ran it to strong in the beginning and i broke the chasse 4 times due to to much power. You can reduce the power on it to make it more reliable. Its a very good truck to get. Beats any car/truck out there. SAVE UP AND BUY IT!

  • nice video.. but was truck stock like out of the box or u guys change the battery ect..???

  • awesome video

  • Hey I heard you say you started charging the battery when you left the shop and you were ready to run by the time you were at your pit tbale. How exactly did you charge it and with what charger? just curious, thanks

  • screwing is WAY difrent then bolting

  • i cant decide weather to get a stampede 4x4 or the sumit 1/16 scale i mostly bash please help

  • @assasinsINC The Stampede 4x4 is your best bet to get over huge stuff if you bash.. Trust me. I have a pede 4x4 and it literally can't get stuck anywhere. The only thing you really need to add to the 'Pede once you get it are sway bars, which are not entirely necessary. Good luck on your decision. That is just my opinion, others will have much better information than mine.

  • @assasinsINC I have to say that I'm in that same boat with ya! I have a brush-motor 1/16 E-Revo, and I'm not altogether thrilled with it. I've been looking at the 1/16 Summit VXL lately though, I really like the wheels on it, and the fact that it would go way faster than my E-Revo. I do, however, have a Stampede VXL 2WD that I totally have a blast with. After this video, I'm leaning more in the direction of the 4x4 'Pede VXL. I'm a basher too, BTW.

  • Hab den Stampede seit ca. 2 Monaten im Einsatz und das unter härtesten Bedingungen :) wie du auch auf meinem Blog siehst, dort habe ich einen kleinen Erfahrungsbericht mit Bilder & Videos geschrieben.

    Details auf meinem Blog: gerysblog.at

  • on this video, is that right out of the box speed? or did u upgrade?

  • @caslayerroevids mine was 410$ from towerhobbies(dot)com.

  • the main problem I have with my stampede 4x4 vxl is I have only had is for 2 monthes and I have replaced 2 rear stub axles and a rear half shaft. does anyone else have to replace them that often? I do run mine pretty hard, but damn. metal parts please traxxas?

  • Jeng how the hell can I get my Stampede and Slash to stop eating U-joints or axles or whatever the are??? Or is there an upgrade. I got MIP CVD's on the way I hope that helps. Or is this just considered acceptable?

  • i can't decide on the stampede 4x4 or the mini summit vxl, which one is better?

  • I went to my local hobby shop to buy an emaxx, the guy up there said that unless you just had to have an emaxx, go with the stampede 4x4. I bought the stampede and i love it. 1 battery operation means alot. My revo takes 2 at a time, it sucks. This thing goes any where. I drive it hard, jumps, wheelies, water, rocks, dust, rolls and cartwheels with out breaking into pieces. Its like a puppy, cant help but smile when your near it. Stock battery is good for 20 mins or so. I use a 2s lipo, a bit m

  • How fast does it go

  • @BrodieBoy1234 30mph out of the box. with more powerful batteries you can get it to go 40-60mph.

  • Is it waterproof?

  • hey so to ramp it up to go faster what gear to you change and to what tooth?

  • i had heard the Stampede 4x4 vxl is only good to make wheelies is that right?? do you think I should be taking the E-maxx instead Stampede 4x4 VXL?

  • hey man i gotta make a really hard decision and i would love if you could help me i have been looking at the rustler vxl and the stampede vxl and i dont no which to choose i am just looking for a fun car to use and get the most out of any help ? :-)

  • @acedheroHD well do you want one for road/speed(Rustler) or one for off-road/mud(Stampede) its your money dude. you decide. I got the Stampede because I live where there is alot of dirt and grass. If I got the rustler I wouldnt have many places to drive it on.

  • Have you heard about the spartan's having esc problems

  • wow that thing seems to bounce alot!!

  • I am just getting into hobby grade RCs and am thinking about getting the original stampede 2wd for bashing. Would this be a good choice given that I am a beginner?

  • Does the Stampede 4x4 vxl a standing backflip?

  • I'm looking into either getting the stampede VXL or the stampede 4 x 4 VXL. Regardless of which one I get I will be upgrading it so it will be reaching the 60mph max speed. Money is not an issue, but I don't want to simply throw money away buying the 4 x 4 VXL if there is not a signifigant performance variation between the two. What is your opinion on the matter? Also, regarding 3s lip0 11.1V batteries what brand do you recommend for achieving maximum run time?

  • i cant decid on the stampede or the slash wich one is the best?

  • @tmbixby Did a whole video on that topic, entitled "Hot RC Topic: Slash 4x4 vs. Stampede 4x4" -- find it on my channel.

  • @tmbixby stampede because it can do on road off road mud bogging all easier and faster because of the big tires

  • @tmbixby stampede off road,insane wheelies,more tip over slash race tracks some off road awsome speed less tip overs

  • @tmbixby  stampede

  • Hey jang, Did you ever do a review on the traxxas summit?? if you didn't, Can you do a review??

    thanks

  • hey wats the battery life?

  • its realy goes 60 mph (i have a kind off camara that measours it

  • Does anyone out there know if it's safe to run a 4 cell lipo on the vxl system? Kinda new to this..

  • @MrFRANKWS6 no, its only capable of a 3cell lithium polymer battery

  • is there any reverse?

  • car broke half shafts 8 times put in optional oppinion gear blew up the engine

  • How is this truck speed compared to the mini e revo vxl? PLZ RELY

  • @9999Drake erevo vxl is 65 with best battery this is 60 with best battery

  • @9999Drake No, mrrocks3578 is wrong. Only the 1/10 scale E-revo Brushless is 65 MPH. The Mini e-Revo VXL is only 50+ MPH. This Stampede 4X4 is faster than a mini e revo.

  • what is the scale??

  • @esteban0001ful  1/10th

  • haha hey jang we actually get to c you in this video driving the car lol

  • @ANDO999999 classi

  • i think revo spec suspention would be cool on the stampede. and do u think traxxas will come out with a nitro stampede4x4???

  • This was my first time seeing a review of yours. I was planning on buying this truck today and you totally pushed me into it. Thanks for an awesome video. :D

  • Thanks for the feedback. A few Slash 4x4 Platinum and Stampede 4x4 is coming to our LHS. Since both are going to be priced the same and have the same mechanicals, it just seems more worth the bucks to get the Slash Platinum with the all the alloy stuff. Just wondering if all the improvements made on the Stampede 4x4 is also applied to the Slash 4x4...

  • Hi URC/Jang, just curious, have you ever encountered the dreaded motor mount bearing failure so many Slash 4x4 owners are having now? Does the Stampede 4x4 have the same problem since they both basically share the same drive train? Has Traxxas taken any steps to rectify this problem as even now, the problem still seems to rear up it's ugly head? Also does the Slash 4x4 now have the alloy center shaft input gear like the Stampede 4x4 ? The original one was plastic, right?

  • @viperz1357 I haven't had that problem yet, but I regularly check and clean that bearing to make sure it doesn't get a chance to seize up. 4 screws, a quick clean & relub, reassemble, and done. I'm not aware of any running fixes from Traxxas. Not sure if the Slash 4x4 got the metal front "hub" yet as I haven't gotten a new Slash 4x4.

  • @UltimateRCnetwork there is no metal front hub i got my in july 2011

  • @viperz1357 mine was running perfectly fine for like 3 charges i was being a little rough but i didnt get it dirty at all and when i parked it for a minuet i left it running because i didnt think it would matter and when i came back to continue driving it i tapped the throttle on the remote and i heard a loud grinding sound and iit didnt move so im pretty pissed off if you know how to fix it please tell me thank you

  • I got a Traxxas Rustler, the battery is charging..

  • @GhettoNinjaMan so how was it?? haha
