I asked this guy at the hobby shop in Ottawa, Canada, and he said to stay cheep with plastic parts cuz they break and r easy and cheap to replace. He also said the metl parts arnt good cuz they will just bend and break other parts too, and it will cost more to fix. Help plz!!!

What exactly are us asking for in terms of help....I dotn fully understand the question.

1- what are good upgrades and why
2- what order should i get the upgrades in?
3- is it better to upgrade to metal parts, or stay plastic and cheap?

An RPM bumper and arms are a great addition for the Stampede.

Stick with plastic. As stated, RPM makes a great product.

Alumium axle carriers, steering knuckles and bulkhead. Rpm everything else. Traxxas big bore shocks. Heat sinks for the motor and esc.

If you are thinking about a Brushless setup for your PEDE I'd pick up a FUZE system
I just got a FUZE motor/esc combo for my Losi XXX SCT

I have a Fuze set up in my SCX-10 scaler and it works pretty well.

Just go with RPM. Their parts are cheap and they're also very durable. Plus, traxxas also has a lot parts support with them.

The first thing you'll need to do on an older non VXL pede is update the entire tranny to the HD drive train or your fun will be short lived. Beyond that, the slider shafts tend to twist fairly easy too. As mentioned above, RPM stuff is top notch and they stand behind their stuff.
