mydoddy69 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Love the look shame what's under it, reminds me of that American tv show the fall guy I think it was called ? This to me has to be the best of the bunch looking wise the rest all look like something from Argos ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaZero Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I really like this the Bigfoot body looks great and theStampede is a fun chassis and really tough especially with a brushed set up ideal for kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atom3624 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Great looking body. The chassis is fantastic as a basher, but doesn't do the scale-look of the body justice. Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johninderby Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Well I'm on the MS notification list for it. Hmmmm.......buy it and replace the body with something else to actually run it and keep the Bigfoot body for another "project" John 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bombercountynick Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I'm not ashamed to say I'd buy one of these just to hang from my attick roof, it looks fantastic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johninderby Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I'm tempted just to go ahead and order it now and then just sit it on a shelf and never run it. Well,OK maybe just run it around the lounge occasionaly. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kpowell911 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 £245 at Modelsport, rrp is £269. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCbutcher Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 that's £95 more than the cheapest stampede 2wd. I saw them at 149 in Germany but old an version. At least the plastics are black on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCbutcher Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Actually even £95 for shell wheels tires and modern elecs could be worthwhile. But it should be 4x4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ady 2215 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I love it. Want it. But i have my eyes on the new traxxas ford raptor 2017 when that comes out got some plans for that. Otherwise i would buy it. Does look sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johninderby Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 (edited) I have a plan. I just happen to have this shell with a 270mm wheelbase which would fit the Stampede chassis perfectly thus freeing up the Bigfoot shell, wheels & tyres to be fitted to a more suitable chassis.

Time to peruse the Crawford Eng website I think. Put the Raptor shell on the Stampede chassis and sell it to pay for a Barbarian chassis? The shell is new so it would be an all new RTR Stampede so should sell easily. John Edited January 13, 2017 by johninderby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bombercountynick Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 (edited) Gotta admit that barbarian of AJ's would look the dogs danglies with the Bigfoot shell Just a shame the shell will come pre-drilled for the stampede. Have to jiggle the barbarian mounts about a bit? Edited January 13, 2017 by bombercountynick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 I'll wait and see if they do the shell by itself, I ain't messing about buying a complete one just for a shell It won't take much work to fab up some different mounts tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Holes could always be filled and 'stealth mounts' fitted ... would hide 80%. Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
