Losi HighRoller (TRX edition)

Hinted in some of my other videos, this truck (a Clod-o-Pede) now runs.
This was the 'Break' in run.
Nothing a few zip ties and little solder can't fix.

Here is a link ( http://monster.traxxas.com/showthread.php?t=242218 ) to directions for the HPI dogbone conversion for the stampede. I used HPI O-rings #6819 as spacers instead of those used in these directions. Also a little bit of material needed removal from the Stampede gearbox due to the HPI Cup Joints rubbing against it (easy enough to do).

@tbone12321232

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

@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.

@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.

Cool truck but why the stupid music.

@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

ty once again

@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

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.
