i just broke my left front bearing carrier for my stampede :( how the hell can i fix it OR should i get rpm ones and instal them? how do i install them too :(

[Madmuz77]

All RPM plastic parts have a lifetime warranty so I would go with them,changing them is pretty easy,Take off the wheel undo the steering arm knuckle,remove the kingpin(pin going though the Cblock & bearing carrier)& it should come right out check kingpin for damage as these are easilly bent replace if neccesary, reverse procedure to re install new part, you could repair the old one but it will never be as strong & as this is major stress point better 2 replace it.

@Madmuz77 alright, yeah i bent that rod tht went thru it. i didnt event hit anything hard...so is this break something thats very common?

[Madmuz77]

@thejetsnix It's a stress point for the stampede & a common part that breaks usually fixed by replacing with RPM parts. I went a step further & installed thicker kingpins from a nitro buggy, had to drill out the holes slighty but never had a problem since. Beware though with stock parts stengthening this part will only move the stress point onto the next weakest part.

how much is a mamba max? did you buy the the whole system motor + esc or can the mamba max motor work with the esc-xl-5 stock

[Madmuz77]

The MM combo cost me $400Aus & the Xl5 has a 15t brushed motor limit, it is not compatible with brushless motors so you need a brushless esc aswell. Just be sure to keep an eye on temps cause the MM is nototrius for overheating(I fried my MM esc by gearing to high & replaced it with a Speed Pasions gtv1 esc).

just get nitro much longer run time and faster. you can get the nitro pede for about 250-300 and its well worth it. i have an electric and the nitro just blows it away.
