smeghead28 Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Doesn't know what he's got I think. Motor is visiable at the rear,steering servo upfront right where the gearbox would be in a 4WD version. 101% 2WD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex97 Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 I'd start a claim as he knew it was a 2wd and they posted a 4x4 part number. He knew what he was doing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mydoddy69 Posted May 11, 2015 Author Share Posted May 11, 2015 You guys thinking of getting a stampede should really look at NOT buying a new rtr.. Instead if you have the ability which is not much build your own, places like dollar hobbyz are cheap for parts . This way your by pass the parts that will may need upgrading at some point and get a solid brasher your also get the choice of what electrics you want to fit .. Basic platform should be around 130ish including shipping then add electrics of your choice along with drive shafts (I'd go mipHD) then add a shell and tyres.. It might cost a little more than the rtr but your be saving around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mydoddy69 Posted May 11, 2015 Author Share Posted May 11, 2015 Slash,. what,.? TC alternative? Its an idea i have been toying with for some time and i have a lot of parts to hand the idea is simple nick parts from all three stick them all together bit of dialing in and fine tuning and away you go !! Feed up with out the box stuff so thought id use up some of my spares and see what happens .. basic platform is going to be around 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atomic7431 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 When assembling anything like that, always make sure you degrease it first, then allow the threadlock to cure for at least 24hrs. Then check all screws are tight every ten minutes for the first few runs. Thanks, they had 24hrs to cure but i never checked them afterwards, lesson very well learned silly me.

Tug Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Thanks, they had 24hrs to cure but i never checked them afterwards, lesson very well learned silly me. I also tend to put quite a bit of threadlock on, it's a bit messy, but I'm convinced that the quantity applied is important. I use the Pacer stuff too.
