Traxxas Stampede. Fitted with some Bow tie tires. A sledgehammer body and a Novak 5800 SS Brushless system. With the Cheap Epic 3000maH NiMh batteries tower sells for under $20 a pop it will run near 15 minutes before a noticable drop in power.

Only upgrades is a Metal idler gear and a Swami wheelie bar. I have around 500 runs on it and only thing that has broken was I lost a shock spring stoper on the end of the shock. Aside of that it just keeps begging for more abuse every weekend :D

Bought my son one and we bash every weekend weather permiting so if your close to Dyer TN jsut north of Jackson TN your all more then welcome to come over for a BBQ and Bashing in my back yard ;)

Damn my desk is a mess isnt it?

I was going to put that body on my emaxx but it was to friggin wide. So I put smaller tires on the stamp, gave it a taller gear since I wasnt using the huge rotating mass stock ones, and that body and it actually, to me, gives it a more realistic look. Then I been to lazy to bother taking it off. No one else plays with us so its not like im going after any style points here. Just fun in the back yard with my son is all :D

With that set up and thoes smaller less heavier wheels it jumps so much better and pretty much keep it floored thoughout all the turns. I like it so much I sold my emaxx for I never played with it. The stampede is just so much more fun IMO. Especially with the tall gear and the brushless motor set up. It is so crazy fast now and get alot more run time.

And yes no reason to discriminate and ass on electric section or two. Im sure theres alot of kids starting out that wouldnt mind some advice or are running electric and would like to show off as well. Then this can be a community of both sexes :P
