RcHov Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Hi All, I’ve got a Traxxas Stampede brushed 2WD fully working runner from the late 1990s. Everything is original, including the mechanical speed controller & Acoms Techniplus Alpha radio. I considered converting it to brushless but thought better of it as the power would likely damage the transmission and gearing? Checked and it does not have a slipper clutch. Would brushless be too much for it? If so I was thinking of selling, to finance an LC racing EMB-T. The car is in almost new (albeit old!) condition, but the shell has a split in it… so a shame to wreck it if brushless will be too strong for the transmission. Cheers!

lorrylemming Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 You could put a mild brushless system in but probably best not to. I'd put it on Ebay and buy something else. Are you sure it doesn't have a slipper clutch, my 1998 stampede had one? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shall heed with caution and sell as it is. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpowell911 Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 You could put bolt a whole VXL Transmission/slipper clutch on it with 6 screws, this would be the most cost effective and best I think. Although I think it would handle a very mild 2s set up anyway (well, with at least a slipper clutch) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
