Traxxas Stampede VXL 4x4
« on: April 12, 2020, 03:23:44 pm »
Dug this one out of the basement and blew the dust off. Snow shots were filmed today and the "kid ramp" was shot yesterday. If you want just one RC vehicle, this is the one I would recommend... this one is nearly stock, and the only upgrades I have done are the blue RPM front bumper ($5 on ebay and necessary on all the Traxxas models) and am using a 2s LiPo battery. It comes completely waterproof from the factory, something that I wish was available when I bought my original 2wd Stampede...

I got lucky and captured the snow flying out of the rim just after the one minute mark.

I picked up a little LaTrax Teton for my 5 year old, they're not quite ready for these bigger ones... I spent 2 hours rebuilding a Traxxas Bandit with a brushless motor the other day and in about 15 seconds that 5 year old crashed head on into the concrete foundation of my barn at probably 40+ mph and shattered the whole front end  :'(   :D  :D

Bonjour,
This is not my world at all but I confirm Nick's information, based on what I have seen, Trawwas is a very good plan to have fun with a RC car :
