HiAmp: brushless stampede racer wheelie on dirt

This heavily modified brushless motor system-powered stadium truck started life as a Traxxas Stampede monster truck. Here it's capable of 70+ MPH speeds on 10 cells, but in this raw clip it's only running on 6 in a feeble attempt to control it on dirt. See www.rcNuts.com for more.

It's as low as a Ruslter, it has a Rustler body, nice Stampede, but you could have just bought a Ruslter.

Bandit upgrade shocks front and rear, E-Maxx alum' shock caps and rear springs, steel output yokes, Pro-Line stadium truck body, plus high-end Hacker brushless system, and more. I had the Stampede but hated it, so its natural evolution was toward something I'd love to run. Nothing wrong with that, eh.

Also, the Rustler has an ugly pan chassis, the Stampede chassis is lighter and has more ground clearance in the center, but a higher center of gravity (which isn't usually a good thing). Dropping it super-low helps. I'm not a fan of Rustlers, personally, but they are good bashers for early RC'ers for their durable yet cheap replacement parts. I wouldn't waste a ton of time and money "hopping up" a Rusty.

hey, i was wondering how u make that stampede so low to the ground like that. can u make a stock stampede as low like that?

[HiAmplidude]

Oh... and some Bandit upgrade parts. Mix and match to get the right balance and performance.

[sgtfarva]

how are u keeping your tranny gears from stripping? Or are they being replaced frequently?

[HiAmplidude]

They're spaced carefully, using high-quality pinion gear, double the slipper pegs, and well-adjusted slipper-clutch. But... it'll still get damage periodically.  Goes with the territory. Thanks for your comment.

bad place to drive ur rustler, all dirt, high speeds, no traction, it will do wheelies on the road :)

[hock3y4lyf3]

i pooted! nice truck i got a nitro rusty

[ohgrfreak]

The only difference between the Rusty and the Pede is the chassis, lol, you can Jangify the Rusty's chassis so it's lighter than the Pede's. The only difference between the Rusty and the Bandit, is the front shock tower.
