Traxxas Stampede 4x4 VXL RC/ Losi mini crawler
I have an older thread here from 2008 about a few RC toys I bought.
I gave the helo to my younger son, as I crashed it too much :D I still have the 4x4 racer, but it is showing its age. Have been looking at this new one, and I think I am going to get it soon. Stock out of the box is 40 MPH, and 60 MPH with the optional battery, but I think the stock one is fine. A few reviewers say the bigger battery makes the rig almost to uncontrollable. Stampede 4X4 VXL RTR with 2.4 Traxxas Link Radio This would be fun to bring to work too and run it during lunch. It comes with a wheelie bar, and you need it as seen in the video below. There is a video on the Traxxas site too, but I do not have time to look for it now, gotta hit up my next job site. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GutmQDukszA |
Found the video at their site.

I do like traxxas since a couple of my buddies run them, the brushless seem to do real good. I went with the Team Assc. MGT 8.0 nitro truck and I love it!

Hey Corey...
Great looking truck. I run an RC 10 buggy, always wanted a truck. For the battery, the 11.1v Li-Po is a monster. Dont buy it from Amazon though. If you dont mind waiting buy one from EHobby. http://shop.ehobbyasia.com/bb-batter...html?limit=all Just make sure you buy a quality charger. You will want to spend a couple extra $$$ for the charger. This is what i use. http://shop.ehobbyasia.com/bb-batter...e-adaptor.html Make sure the charger can balance the cells and can also charge NiCd, NiMh along with the LiPo. Do a little reading on the LiPo batteries. They can be a bit tricky. If the battery is damaged it can be a bit dangerous. |
i used to have the traxxas jato- 2wd stadium truck that would do 70 mph out of the box. it was a lot of fun, but i wrecked it

Thanks guy's.
Todd, I will more than likely just run the stock battery but get a better charger if I get this truck. I still have my eye on this crawler though. http://www.losi.com/Products/Default...rodID=LOSB0222 http://www.amazon.com/1-18-Mini-Rock...0832435&sr=8-1 Totally opposites, one goes fast, one goes slow, but the latter is about 1/2 the cost too. |
The more I think about it, I think I am going to go with the Losi 1/18 mini rock crawler.
Lots of YouTube vids, here is one of the better ones done by a hobby shop that sells them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEREIAKfa40 More links to vids of it. http://www.youtube.com/results?searc...awler+RTR&aq=f |
Traxxas Stampede 4x4 Battery?My kid gets about a half hour with his Stampede 4x4 with these batteries, they have great punch and always take 5000+ mah charge. You will not be disappointed with Gens Ace batteries. Hope they stay in stock.
