[smutoys]

@THFURY: Sorry, I wouldn't know how to fix it. I hope someone can help you.

@THFURY just take the engine cover off and you may need to just tweak the little metal peice that the switch dis

engages

I loved my Stomper 4x4 when I was a kid. I'd take one of those giant square flashlight batteries and hoook it up to it to give it "turbo" power. That damn Stomper would scream so fast the little engine would literally heat up and glow like a piece of molten lava. Good times!

[smutoys]

@braincrisp1: Hahaha that's awesome!

[EliteBUCK24]

I have this one

[smutoys]

@EliteBUCK24: Cool!

[MyPuppers]

[smutoys]

@MyPuppers: Ah memories, right? ;) Sounds like you had lotsa fun with yours, and that's what it's all about.

[smutoys]

@rccrawlerguy: Hehe what were these inferior versions that you got?

[Adam19822000]

Put the battery in backwards for reverse

[mikedavis5671]

Back in the 80's I used to take three sets of tires and super glue them together to make a wide ass monster stomper. Were we fortunate to grow up in the 80's or what!!!!!!!

[smutoys]

@mikedavis5671: Definitely! The 80's were full of all kinds of awesome! :D

[JohnnyDesaint]

@mikedavis5671 no shit,long live stompers,mask,gi joes,transformers,he man,exc.

[locovivoako]

i just got my stomper 4x4 scottsdale pickup on ebay lights work and everything awesome

[smutoys]

Oh cool, is in like new condition? How much was it? I haven't really checked eBay for them. I have about ten from when I was a kid, but this was the only one that was still working.

[locovivoako]

man i use to love those things back in the 80s freakin bad old school right there i thing im going to try and get me one cool video bro

[smutoys]

Thanks bro! Yeah, when that nostalgia kicks in, you want the toys from your childhood, hehe. I'm sure you can find 'em on eBay.

[imstillstuckinthe80s]

"Stomper 4X4's.....you can try to stop 'em"

[smutoys]

Hahaha, nice one!

[peanutsguy72]

coool want it :)

[smutoys]

Yeah, they're really cool. But, really vintage too, from the early 80's. Check out the Matchbox Power Scouts at stores though, kinda like Stompers.

[peanutsguy72]

yeah thanks man there cool, except im gonna buy an RC gas powered dune buggy ( 1:10 ). It goes like 89 KM/H ( i live in canada, we count KM/H )

[smutoys]

Cool!

[peanutsguy72]

thx bro, havent heard of u in a while

[smutoys]

Yeah, haven't dropped in much lately, really busy with work these days. No time for hobbies.

[austinkx09]

well playing with the power scout on the sand is really fun its just you have to clean the axle every 3 minutes =[ i just got the money back on the my power scout do you think i should get another one?

[smutoys]

Okay, thanks for the tip. I'll keep that in mind if I decide to try it.

As for getting another one, depends on how much you liked it or not. Or you can try something new with that money.

[austinkx09]

i liked it alot i just don't know if i want to spend my money. dont think im a cheapo or anything i just wanna save my money

[smutoys]

Haha then just get your money back, save it or use it for something else. 'Cause you can always buy another Power Scout at another time if you want.

[austinkx09]

okay

[austinkx09]

today i got 2 powescouts from my mom i like them there pretty cool

[smutoys]

Nice, two of them! You should make some vids.

[austinkx09]

anyways i saw something called power scouts 4x4 by match box its looks like stompers

[smutoys]

Yeah, I've been interested in trying those out and see how they compare. It's like a new generation of Stompers. I like how you just tap down on the body to turn them on or off, and the tires look cool for tackling terrain. I wonder what their power and speed are like. I'll probably get one soon to find out.

[austinkx09]

hey if you get one make a video and be sure to tell me about it. if its like stompers i might get one

[smutoys]

Definitely. I almost got one while at Target today, but I was just there to get something in a hurry. But, I might go grab one tomorrow, and I'm lookin' forward to playin' with it. Will make a video for sure.

[austinkx09]

cool

[smutoys]

I went to a Target and Walmart today, and they both just had a small selection of the Power Scouts, like 3-4, and I didn't like any of the styles. I was excited to get one and try out, the Target I went to a couple days ago had some nice ones. I'll be going to another Target tomorrow, so hopefully I get one then.

[Muddcrazy]

Power scouts are all right,but they are top heavy.Now stompers the best ones are the series 1 ones(skinny Wheels)a power scout would out pull them,But as far as speed and hill climbing the stomper takes it.

[smutoys]

Yeah, I have the one Power Scout and it is heavy and quite slow. The Stomper in this video is a series 1 Stomper and it is much faster than the Power Scout. I Have yet to run them side by side on the same terrain as in this video, but I'm sure what we'll see is the Power Scout getting smoked anyway.

[smutoys]

I got one of the Power Scouts today. I haven't opened it yet, but I think it's pretty cool and look forward to playing with it. Probably won't get around to it until tomorrow or the next day though.

[austinkx09]

well hurry! try it out

[smutoys]

I didn't play with it much, but I did open it up and check it out a little. It's more bigger compared to a Stomper than I originally thought, and weighs about twice as much. It seems to be more powerful, but slower.

I'll play with it some more when I have the time, as well as take it out in the dirt and shoot some video.

[austinkx09]

hey do think a power scout can handle the beach where people mostly build tracks for there toy trucks and dirtbikes? because i went to the beach last sunday and i was thinking of getting a power scout to screw around there

[smutoys]

If people play with toy trucks and/or dirt bike it might be able to handle it. But, if it's really loose sand, maybe not so much. Never say never though. I tried the Stomper at a playground where the sand is very loose like the beach. It had a bit of trouble and mostly just dug into the sand. The Power Scout might be better at it since it runs slower than a Stomper.

[austinkx09]

hey i got a power scout to play in the sand with and it was a good little thing, it got messed though and it stopped working =[. i gonna exchange it tomorrow the power scout is really cool it works best on hard pack stuff or grass or dirt

[austinkx09]

thats cool, do you buy these on ebay?

[smutoys]

Thanks for checkin' it out. No, this is from my collection from when I was a kid. I have about 10 Stompers and Rough Riders (Stompers copycat), but this and one Rough Riders truck were the only ones working.

I recently been goin' through old storage boxes, so I been finding a bunch of vintage toys, from action figures to diecast cars to RC's and everything in between.

I'll be doin' more videos soon. Got a cool vintage motorized Bigfoot 4x4 truck to video.

[austinkx09]

thats cool
