stabalizing the stampede....

[pugs2300]

my pede is hard to handle now that i went brushless...
i was wondering what the best way to make it more stable is....
i figure i want to make it wider and possible a have a little lower stance...
just wondering the best way to go about this....
is there any kits for this type of thing or what do you guys recommend...
thanks.,.,.

I would think wider and lower. The lower the weight the lower the CG. And widening anything will always help with stability. Do they make a swaybar kit for the pede?

not sure if they do or not...I'm sure ill find something when i really start lookin but i hoped to see what others were doin and what worked the best....hopefully ill get a reply out of someone....lol

Here you go sir, complete with parts list. The pede may never win any races, but can be made to handle pretty well on the cheap. You can also go the FLM wide arm conversion, but it's not cheap at all.

You're very welcome sir. Best mod ever for a pede (IMHO) is an FLM 1/8 scale chassis combined with some type of widening. A bit longer and wider and it completely transforms the truck, especially if it's brushless, mine was almost undriveable on 3S stock.
