lol,.. yea. Me too. We all have that one time that we end up doing more harm than good though.

nitrost, give more information on what you want to upgrade, as far as parts, and what car it is on.

Most important Hop up you will ever buy, FAILSAFE, backed up by a good throttle return spring set up

& a 6v rechargable receiver batt instead of the 4 AA's

no i got al that already i mean looks like shocktower bulkheads arms hubs that sort of thing and it a nitro stampede

 

[redhatman]

just upgrade as much as you can to aluminum/graphite.

Very bad advice. If you upgrade everything to aluminum the truck will weigh a ton and perforn like crap. Aluminum a arms will bend, and you will never get them straight again. All aluminum trucks are usually shelf queens, not bashers. I don't really know who makes what for a stampede, but just replace stuff as you break it with better parts. But DON"T put everything aluminum on it.

I guess it would be kinda heavy.

I just replace parts as I break em, it doesn't really make sense to replace something thats not broke...

I agree, stay away from alum a-arms, use alum in places like bulkheads and arm pivots, stuff that is hard to get to when it breaks.


Throw some Titanium Tirnbuckles on there, Lunsford part# LNS2723
They make Ti ball studs too.

Get some MIP CVD's to replace the stock sliders MIP part# MIP1160

I think Robinson Racing makes a steel hardened spur gear for or the Tmaxx is the same # of Teeth. If so they make a dual disk slipper to use on the gear and a matching hardened clutch bell.

When you get your Nimh batt RX pack, move it as far forward as possible and the truck will jump more level.
I believe the alum hex's for the axles from a Rustler will work on the Stampede too.
