So I had this busted up slash that I bought that used to be a rental at a hobby shop that closed its doors. So I let it sit for a while, not knowing what to do with it until something clicked in my head, why not make a 2wd stampede out of it? And not just any 2wd stampede, something that I just can't really go out and buy for a decent price anymore. So I got a chassis off ebay, all the 2wd pede steering for the front, some green slid plates, springs, bumper, got the terra firma wheels. I found the body I wanted for a damn steal on Facebook marketplace, I ordered a flag for some uniqueness and tada!! Here is what I ended up with. I did end up immediately putting a castle sidewinder in it since I think the brushed was on its way out being how slow it was no matter the gear setup.

Let me know what you think!!! I pretty much built it from the ground up!!

I like it.. good job
 
I don't think I could run it either. Heck, my kid has a "like new" traxxas Digger with the regular black body (still rare) and I plan to get a basher body for him so that doesn't get damaged.
