Traxxas Stampede XL-5 - offroad

[tinkysbrother]

Good running area. Funky music...Very cool

[Thedud3w1thsydr0m35]

About 30 threw 45 min

[coleryanvivian]

how mini min do u get off that battery



[0RobotWarsIsTheBest0]

imagine this with a mamba monster installed plus the big castle motor from the brushless emaxx and 2 lipos! except it would probably just rip the gearbox to shreads

[demonsparkx]

All i could think though this video was george lopez :P

[xlpMpxDeMoN]

Nice camera awork i pesonaly like it compared to some vids

[xlpMpxDeMoN]

Nice camera awork i pesonaly like it compared to some vids!

[Clay4legacy]

Mine keep's burning motors up...... Does yours do the same?

[RsAhNiOtM]

what battery you using

[Dsm152]

dust is so sexy

[SuperNItroRCFReak]

does this come stock waterproof

[201andrew]

nooo thats 6 cell, the 7 cell reached to 40 the local hobby shop store, stock just like yours. its true. the hobby workers had a speed gun., they showed me

[freakystylecars1]

Yeah I have one and the motor crapped out within the first month, so i just put a 540 motor in it and its been fine for 2 years now, it actually has more power if you get the right kinda 540 motor for it. Also put a really small pinion gear on it for awesome torque!

[zachb9257]

nice car ive gotta speed gem 15t in mioen geared 26/86 witha 6 cell and it does wheelies

[mrtheroosterdude]

Is it a good truck? I want to buy one but seeing a Traxxas for 200 bucks looked kinda suspicious to me...

[smartalec1998]

i am in love with my stampede.. even though things do break, everything is replaceable! i got a 8.4v 500 mah and it is super fast. one of the neighbors got pissed off from me spraying gravel in his driveway and at his jeep.

[RCBoca]

Great Stampede vids are always nice to find! Great one!

[MusclecarsMeditation]

NICE video ...love it!

[JMCRULES25]

do you still have your stampede

[rusakov3]

dude i have that same one its fun oncce you put it in the mud and i got mudding triers in it

[traxxasemaxx98]

ill buy that for 200 dollas

[m1shadow]

Cool video, 5/5! This is a great truck, i reccomend it to anyone who wants something fast, yet good for off roading!

[skaterg1001]

best vid i have seen in along time for the pede

[hawkeye13578]

ha ha

1:09

nice jump lol :P

i have the same with a trinity revenge of the monster pro 27X1

[m1shadow]

cool video! Traxxas stampede is my favorite rc car/truck!

[p38lightning7]

nice video

[krimenello]

NICE VID LOVE THE MUSIK XD

[katkid134]

wat is the song and i to also have a stampede but i want the vxl mod

[ystfrk]

i have the same one its charging right now going to take it for a spin

[aLeX5608]

nice car

[dirtbikedude1004]

i have the same 1

[nick12882]

how long does the battery go for?

[Bigfurry1975]

Depends on your battery, i.e. condition, mah capacity, chemistry, etc. and the motor you use. I can get close to 20 mins. with a 3300mah pack and a 23T Titan geared 25/86. The Titans are actually Mabuchi RS 550PC/VC motors, some of the best sealed endbell motors out there. Clean'em out every once in awhile and they'll last a good bit.

[nick12882]

I just bought a 5000 mah pack and Still dont know how long it will go for since when i was running it my steering servo went lol. I love the stampede

[Bigfurry1975]

Great music for a great truck!!! I have a Stampede XL-5 with a 23T Titan geared 25/86 and it runs great even a 7.2volts I prefer the bottom-end grunt of the 23-turn because it makes more efficient use of the rpm's over that of the 12-turn's at the same voltage. If I ran that 25/86 gearing with the 12-turn, it would get rather hot. The 23-turn was barely warm after 2- 3300mah packs, almost 45mins of run time! This is why I prefer hi-torque w/medium rpms over lower torque/hi rpms. wheelies R good!

[hondatmx]

can u give me a link in where can i buy just like ur motor?

[rubinmeneps]

call traxxas and tell them u have a week old pede and the brushes wore out.. thats how i always got those motors for free lol

[MrJoshBoone]

lmao!

[jhaynet2004]

great video!!! A+++

[wordreet]

Nice. The longer wheelbase should make it more stable. But most monster tucks will tip over sometimes if you thrash around on tarmac, concrete, grass, carpet, your bed, or a 60ft high lemon jelly! :-P

[hondatmx]

how long the battery last?

[paysonmom]

I want to get the stampede vxl brushles nice ride  Geo

[mcskatin]

4wd?

[mindphish]

Great video man, Stampede is a killer truck. The wheelie at the end up the hill was sick!! Really great seeing the pede out doing what it was meant to do, not pulling a wheelie down the street at 50+ (although that is cool too :D )

[Ventrimac]

hows it turn? I'm a rusty fan...and saving for an ERevo but i came across amainhobby's sale for 139 and an riding the fence. is it as top heavy as it looks? will it flip at sharp turns and jumps?

[flakey712]

where did you get it???

[greenmanpop1]

i have one off these my diff brock and i havent driven it for like 2 months i really want to drive it

[xxxrc4lifexxx]

@greenmanpop1

you obviously need a trx connector for it to work opn pede and i think the max they accept w/ nimh batts is 7 cell, which is what i will be running

[RcAntax]

How can you fit a 7 cell battery in the stampede, its just enough space to fit a 6 cell batteri in the battery holder.

[ilovethebeatles359]

i pretty sure that u can either by a hump 7 cell style battery that looks just like a 6 cell except the 7th cell is just sitting ontop of the 6, not at the end, so the 7th cell does not make the battery longer, it makes the battery higher or i think that u can take the little grey foam thing out of the end of the stampede's battery compartment, so it can fit a longer battery

[RcAntax]

thx

[swweride]

omg i have the same truck lol there awsome!

[ftballfolife721]

is tht 35+ or likk 65+ which one

[thejang]

Top speed of the Pede is 30mph with 7 cells.

[kungfutofu2]

does it work with a 7.2 v 3800 mah 6 cell rc battery? with a tamiya conector? will it work with any rc battery?

[gasscooterdude]

Hey jang, what 7 cell matched pack is that? And, what's your opinion on the EP4600 6 cell pack? Do 7 cells have more run-time than 6 cells? Sorry for all the questions! lol Great video. 5/5!

[thejang]

It's not matched, I was using a pack of Elite cells. Not so sure on the EP4600s as I have only heard a little from folks using them, and it's so far so good. The number of cells in series changes your voltage and thus your speed - the mAH rating is what determines runtime. The 7-cell will give you a bit more weight though and if you run it just as hard you will draw more amps, so it could reduce your runtime *slightly*. For a bunch of input on stuff like this, post your questions at UltimateRC!

[TraxxasPede99]

GO STAMPEDES ! i have a traxxas stampede with the 8 cell battery and mine goas a hell of alot harder than that

[Serengetirider1]

Ya nice vid. I just got a stampede. It hauls.TRAXXAS RULES!:P

[furryfox112]

wow sweet camera work!! , whats the song?

[thejang]

Thanks :) It's The Neptunes vs. Timbaland, "Cross the Border."

[RevoPwns]

u are only supose to be using 6 cell packs in that truck no 7 cell.

[thejang]

Sorry, but that's incorrect. The XL-5 is rated up to 8 cells.

[bestamerica]

very nice

[nitrodork09]

Id suggest the xl5,the vxl is very fun ones u get used to it but its just down right UNSAFE! u could hurt some one with it and id watch out for breaking the xl5, the parts for it arnt cheap espeshally the batt and motor and twelve year olds budjets arnt big,i should know(im twelve myself)

[minircteam]

can you use 7cell battery with the stok electronics?

reply pls

oh by the way,how much faster does it run with 7 cell?

[ferociousdiablo]

Yes 7 cell is possible with stock electronics.

[nitrokid911]

yes it is rated by traxxas at 30 mph with a 7 cell battery!!

[kenmtb]

Very nice driving. I loved the video. I just got one and converted to a brushless motor. Cant wait to try it.

[HAiMaiNeIm]

it's light and reactive. i love this truck.

[SMG59]

cool is that the brushless modle or all stock because im geting on soon

[thejang]

This is the brushed, XL-5 model.

[traxxas107]

would you recomend this truck or the stampede VXl. and what does brushless mean, im 12 and a beginner.

[thejang]

For just starting out I would VERY STRONGLY recommend the XL-5 over the VXL *any* day! The VXL is NOT for newcomers to the hobby! The power of that machine is downright dangerous and until you learn throttle control and handling limits it will not be safe to drive the VXL. The VXL is for owners with experience only. The XL5 is really, really fast as it is, plus it costs so much less than the VXL!

[thejang]

"Brushless" is just a different design of electric motor (versus "brushed") that is more efficient and can safely create a lot more horsepower.

[oziumzx]

Get the VXL. At first it may seem too fast for you but after about 10 mins you get used to it, it's not that difficult. If you do have a hard time driving it the VXL has a "training mode" for beginners that allows only 1/2 power. After you get good at it you can switch to "sport mode" or "race mode" which means full power.

[platecrumb]

I thought the video was great! Nice terrain change, keep it comin'~~

[axecp]

how long does that 3600mah battery last you on a full charge, and is 3600mah the highest you can go on stock esc, or can you go to 4200mah?

nice vid:)

[TractorKid7]

the esc doesnt care at all about mah, u can go as high as u want

[jpagan123456789]

this is the video that made me ask for a stampede for christmas last year.

[jafalcon88]

this is my fav vid this is why i got the stampede ty love the music@@!@!@!@!@!@!

[halo123456789freak]

Your such a dork. It's not a rockcrawler there buddy. Oh by the way your music is flippin retarded

[thejang]

Thanks for the comment. Tell me where I say the Stampede is a rock crawler (it's two words btw), and I'll send you $5 :) Have a good day!

[adidas22205]

Yeah, are you mental? He never said anything about it being a rock crawler!

[lambo2xl]

how come my bateries dont last that long I have the old 1

[MadCroc41]

I'm going to start driving rc cars, so is traxxas stampede best car to start?

[stormfox1]

absolutely, proabably the best truck ever made based on price and fun factor

[pointsey911]

get a mamba max like me and do 55 easy

[thejang]

Got 2!

[rollercoasterfreak12]

i got my traxxas stampede to go 30 down my street today

[ARKANSAS9]

This looks like a great video to show off the new stampede!

[drtim03]

awesome vid mate! new trails my friend dosent live far from there his in foster city, CA but i live in sydney Australia nice pede im getting one tomorrow!! cant wait!! do they go as fast as the box says 40mph? if it does im guessing it goes alot better with the powerfull battery that gives it alot more power nice vid again mate!

[c6corvettekid13]

hey were u using a smc battery? were u using deans connectors thanx cool video i like the trails

[thejang]

CheapBatteryPacks battery and actually the battery had a Deans plug, but the ESC had the stock Tamiya plug so I used an adapter. Thanks for visiting!

[nhuisman1234]

wow, those look like a great time, im thinkin about buyin one, how far can you be away from one with the controller?

[thejang]

Pretty much as far as you can see (no lie). I've controlled a heavily modified vehicle using this same stock radio to the point where it was so far away that I couldn't tell what direction it was facing!

[cantstop1423]

SWEET! i love it! where did you film it?

[thejang]

Thanks! The trails out by the San Francisco Bay in California.

[jonolew]

cool but not as gd as da t-maxx lol

[loon9898]

sick car man

[mariomendoza]

Nice vid! thanx for sharing!

[MMStudios]

What would you say the best battery for it is when it comes to run time and speed? And how's the durability? I snuck a peek at one hiding in the trunk of my dad's Infiniti today haha.

[SPORTMAXX369]

ON EBAY TRINITY 8 CELL

[CHILISORHENDRIX]

Kl! im trying to persuade my mate to get one of these so i can race him with a t maxx, hopefully hell get the nitro one though! A little more of a challenge

[jaxes88]

youve inspired yet another trx fan im asking for one for xmas. (gettin tired of tryin to 4wheels with my bandit lol :P

[thejang]

Sweet! I hope you get it!

[jaxes88]

the other day when i got home there was a box on our porch from tower hobbies lol

[bubbabohi]

Nice! How did the motor hold up heat wise? The old Stingers really got soo hot.

[thejang]

Ran surprisingly cool ! Even the Rustler on 28 - 86 speed gearing passed the 5-second touch test after a full run. Full review on UltimateTraxxas.com!

[esnape]

wow! awesome vid! im getting one next week! its nice to see how it runs first before you buy it! thnx for uploadin this vid! =D

[MMStudios]

DUDE!! YOU GOT THE NEW STAMPEDE! well, at least the updated version..haha man way nice vid, better quality than all those other shaky ones. you really displayed the potential of the stampede, especially for a potential buyer such as me. so, how is it? is it durable, fast, stuff like that? hows it's ability compared to like a revo or something?? i have two revos so i know what its like to have a 4wd truck, but recently i've been looking into 2wd vehicles. tell me man!
