Traxxas Stampede XL 5 Neighborhood Bashing

[hawkeye13578]

@blastermaster2222 It never wheelied from the first day i had it.

[thejordan343]

mine wheelies from a dead stop and its all stock

[hawkeye13578]

@thejordan343 I cant ever get mine to, even if i put as many spacers on the rear suspension. But then it flips over too much.

[hawkeye13578]

@thejordan343 Check out my other vids of my Mini E-Revo ;)

[numa663]

@thejordan343 so does mine. and i got a bigger 8 turn moter brushless and bigger gear and battery(60 mph)

[hayden199516]

what the heck is on the front rim?

[hawkeye13578]

@hayden199516 Lol.

I attempted to make the car more visible by spraying florescent orange paint. It seems to have worked ;)

It honestly didn't make a huge difference for me, or the entire video. I just thought it would help.

[sk8teboarder93]

is it al stock

[hawkeye13578]

@sk8teboarder93 Nope, read the description.

[berndiggydiggy]

Dude I just got mine today and it totally wheelies from a dead stop it will flip right over. -derp!-

[spacepolic29]

are you crazy?! driving the stampede without the body? You could rip it to peices like that

[Icywolf44]

do these stampedes do wheelies?

[hawkeye13578]

@Icywolf44 no. ive seen a few do wheelies stock, but i'd imagine there is some tuning involved. i have yet to get mine to wheely

[hawkeye13578]

@Icywolf44 my 'pede, doesnt wheely, it does if you go back, and then foward right away. but not from a complete stop

[corvettes123098]

@Icywolf44 yes, it does if you heve the new stampede...which is what i have and i bought the wheelie bar and it helps a lot

its like a wheelie monster haha

[8thkill]

@Icywolf44 Actually, i've seen alot of people do wheelies from a complete stop. I'm not sure what the difference is between hawks 'pede and other 'pedes

[drewrad8]

@Icywolf44 yes it does it just needs a 8.4v nimh battery fully charged and you can do a wheelie easy.

[totoandamigo]

@drewrad8 how long does the stock pack take to charge

[drewrad8]

@totoandamigo 30 minutes to an hour

[Icywolf44]

I have a traxxas slash and im wondering if I should a Traxxas Stampede, Hpi Brama 10b, hpi cyper 10b, or a losi desert truck. Im only getting one. No brushless only stock. Any suggestions.

[hawkeye13578]

@Icywolf44 i dont know much about hpi's or losi's, but the big thing about the stamepe now is- its stock water proof. i would go with the stampede.

[hawkeye13578]

The snow has FINALLY melted. Hopefully the mud all dries up so i can get some runs this week.

[hawkeye13578]

@hawkeye13578 im currently charging up a 8.4 v batter and a 7.2v. runs this weekend hopefully!

[lewislingard]

steel transmition sounds good yeah. and good idea i will try and find one of them pinion gears if i havent bust it by then lol

[lewislingard]

HAWKEYE13578. hi sorry i didnt get back to you sooner but i had another spill whith my traxxas on the bmx track and stripped an idle gear. but i have sorted that out now. used the 8.4v with the 21 tooth pinion gear and an 83 tooth spur and did notice more strain being put on the motor but i was getting about 33mph top end but then today i decided to use the 19 tooth pinion instead and the truck acelerated a lot faster and was better of road with less strain on the motor and still getin 25mph lol

[hawkeye13578]

its ok ha ha. yeah it doesnt seem hard to strip idler gears, but eventually ill upgrade to the steel transmission. try to find something like a 20 tooth pinion for even accel and power. just a suggestion

[lewislingard]

yeah took mine out today using a 83 tooth spur and the gp 3300 7.2v battery pretty quick about 25 mph and good off the mark but no wheelies yet lol my 8.4v has arrived aswell just got to switch the connectors over and i will let you know how it goes

[hawkeye13578]

nice, we have 2 feet of snow here so i wont be taking mine out anytime soon XP

[CDCRusty]

u should really put a body on it

[lewislingard]

lol. but that seems a bit crap traxxas say you should use that pinion gear for speed and it failed you should have had some sort of warranty to get a replacement or somethin and even if mine has it would have ran out a long time ago considering its about 2 years old just hope mine doesnt burn out now lol

[hawkeye13578]

ha ha. i did get some more speed, but less torque and more strain on the motor. i took it out one day and at the bottom of the hill it just died

[lewislingard]

i am just running the stock 12 turn modified motor. But i know quite a few people replace them but mine has been ragged around a bit and it has always been reliable

[hawkeye13578]

ah nice... i burn out my 12t along time ago :P

i used the 21 tooth pinion gear for 2 weeks... and it died

[lewislingard]

Ok m8 i will let you know.i have ended up fitting a 83 tooth spur gear .well my dad did. because the stock pinion gear would not fit the 76 tooth spur gear. And i have also ordered a GP 7.2v 3300 nimh and also a traxxas powercell 8.4v 3000 nimh which is the one that should get the front end up lol. Just waiting for delivery now and i will let you know in about a week

[lauriev1000]

ok cool, what kind of motor are you running?

[lewislingard]

sorry a 76 tooth spur gear

[lewislingard]

oh yeah and i have the same model stampede as you im gonna run a traxxas powercell 8.4v 3000 mah battery in it with a 76 tooth pinion gear should be good for almost 30mph and pop wheelies with ease what do you think?

[hawkeye13578]

hmm... try it and lemme know i need to figure out how to do wheelies too... its winter right now and im too lazy to waterproof mine so i wont have any new vids up till spring

[lewislingard]

cool vid m8.cool song what is it called

[hawkeye13578]

thanks, paralyzer- finger elleven

[TomZombieCoDWaW]

i run a 5000 in my stampede

[hawkeye13578]

5000 what? mah? or brushless motor

[haley3005]

jeeze boys and there cars LOL its cool tho

[kenmtb]

Jumps will do that. I try to land in soft grass If I can.

[kenmtb]

Fast looking xl5. Nice driving. I used to have a truck body like yours.

[hawkeye13578]

thanks i took it off of a ramp yesterday and knocked my slipper clutch loose i also lost some screws some how

[hawkeye13578]

it may look fast, but the other day i set up a small

vascar system and clocked it in at 25.67 MPH at 30Ft.

most of this video was using only my 7.2 Volt pack. my other video some of it was using my 8.4 Volt pack
