Losi HighRoller (TRX edition)

[guymaya]

Cool truck but why the stupid music.

[tbone12321232]

isent thatjust a traxxas stampede?

[vsci79]

@tbone12321232

Yup, but not exactly stock and it does have a old Losi body on it.

[staticxmako]

great video man

but can i please get the part numbers all those dogbones

or at least how much you paid

or what truck from hpi they are ment for

[vsci79]

@staticxmako

Thanks. Check out the link I posted in the drop-down just below the video for all the info on the dog bone conversion. Only difference I did was to use tiny o-rings (HPI #6819) as spacers.

[staticxmako]

@vsci79 thanks man

and what do you mean tiny spacers?

like were the wheel hub bearings are?

[vsci79]

@staticxmako

Inside the drive cups on either end of the dogbones.  The dogbones are just short enough to slip out (without some type of spacer to take up the slack) while the suspension is compressed.

[staticxmako]

@vsci79 ok man thanks for the info so usefull and your post on the forum is great too. hopefully i will remeber to come back here and get all this info down before i order. thanks alot the only thing i dont like is the idea of the spacers although it may be necessary it seems ghetto lol. so do you think using a mip traxxas dog bone would fix this or a losi strike dog bone. the only truck i have that has cvds is my losi strike all of my TRXs are plastic my 2 rustlers 2 e-maxxes 1 slash 2 stampede

[staticxmako]

@vsci79 and one bandit. those are all trx plastic. so i would happily tell you if those would work after i buy all the parts from hpi besiiiides the dog bones of course. but i will try the strike bones on this conversion and tell you how it works see if they are right length

and hey if you could please subscribe to my other rc channle

staticxmakoRC

ty once again

[davisisland14]

are these very duralbe stock an how are the moters

[vsci79]

@davisisland14

This Traxxas Stampede is a great truck even with the big heavy Clodbuster wheels/tires (I call it my HighRoller because it sits tall with those tires and I have a old Losi body on it). The VXL brushless motor handles the loads without much of a fuss. It's not unbreakable but is very durable.

[vsci79]

Thanks!

I really have no idea on top speed and it looks even faster in person than on video.

[MrLarzzon13]

top speeed??

awesome!!! 5/5

[flyinhighrogerKBTR1]

1:42 look how big the back tire gets from it expanding!!!

[tamiyamonkey]

how much modding was was there to get the magnum gearbox on the high roller chassis, and what other parts where needed.

[vsci79]

The truck (chassis) is my old Traxxas Stampede, therefore the magnum gaer box was a direct fit. Sorry for the misleading title. I'm sure there is a way to mod a Losi HighRoller to run a Stampede rear end, would be very interesting to see too.

[trx1961]

so you have a trx/losi/hpi/tamiya truck... awsome idea.

[vsci79]

Thanks

At times it necessary to mix things up.

[johnwo1]

Losi is crap you bought a losi truck and put a traxxas engine in it might of bought a traxxas stampede vxl even faster. nice vid.

[RecklessPedro]

ya you sure do like to break your truck lol

[vsci79]

I guess that old Losi stadium truck body count... that's the only Losi part on this rig. I do admit to the title is a bit misleading :-)

[timbulb]

What part of that is a HIGHroller?

[cycle2deth]

you know you dont need to break a BL motor in right?

[bigdog813]

um no.... there is o brushes to beak it it...

[vsci79]

The - 'Break' in run - mentioned in the description was in reference to the parts that broke from that run.

[RCmurder3]

that movie was pritty good i will subsribe

[jaybuz20]

thank you for the parts number. Also I installed my mamba 5700kv and my transmision gears was stripped. What are you using???? to prevent breakage???

[vsci79]

I have the newer Traxxas magnum 272 transmission (has all steel gears) installed. This is the trans that VXL Stampede/ Slash and others comes with. It's tough.

[jaybuz20]

Do you need to modify it or is bolt on?

[Cnr01ex]

Aluminum Idler gear will help. Make sure to properly set the mesh too or you will strip it regardless of power.

[vsci79]

Yes that idler gear upgrade for the older style stampede helps too. But I instead went with the 272 gearbox that I found on the big auction site for cheap and yes it bolts directly to the old stampede chassis.

[jaybuz20]

Nice truck,

Can you give me the parts number you used to convert the axles stubs? Thanks

[vsci79]

Parts used are as follows:

HPI Dogbones RS4 MT #A554

HPI Rear Axles Silver RS4 MT #A549

HPI Cup Joint 5x10x18mm #72108 (2 needed)

HPI Screw Shafts M4x2x12mm #86094

Traxxas Fiber Washers 5x8mm #1985

HPI Silicon O-rings P-3 Red #6819

I added a link to the directions in the info area located to the right of the video above (click 'more info' if needed).

[XtreemJunk]

Hey, coud you tel me how you but in a brushless motor in it and how moch it cost, or maybe oyu coud tel me the website of the new stuf you put in.

Thanks.

[vsci79]

The brushless motor is the same size as stock, so fit is no problem. I got this motor and esc used for cheap, but a good new system starts at almost 150 bucks. Check out RCMT. net , rcgroups. com or similar online forum for good info and help.
