Traxxas stampede 4x4 kit

mmm Good ideal from traxxas that  was interested in one of these on release but the vxl system puts me off after owning one before so a win win

Traxxas because less costs more. 

 

Lol its cool i suppose but i bet the price will be minus motor. Is it the VXL? 

Sorry but what a load of crap ! Basic crappy brushed version minus electrics and clear shell isn’t a kit ! That’s ludicrous to say the least poor show Traxxas ???

Did you expect much more?

Is it an actual kit as in you build it yourself or is it just a roller? 

The perfect base for a custom build and no crappy Traxxas electronics to worry about ?

Must admit Ive always wanted one, and this is the best opportunity,  I saw it on Reddit other day, its $199  on AMain though, which I thought was pricey?

now....lets see how they price it .... probbly £250 or so, I reckon

 

Unless it's cheaper than buying a pre-built brushed Stampede and selling on the electrics...and I doubt it's really a 'kit' either, Just a roller with a clear shell.... then what's the point.

 

Stampede 4x4 was always overpriced for what it was, and I don;t see this being any different. It's not even coming with the excuse of providing everything in the box for the novice to buy.

On second thoughts, looks like its based off the `BRUSHED’ version, which I believe means bushings not bearings and those tyres? Also, its unclear if its a true kit or a pre built roller?

So guessing this means you need to assemble it ? still wouldn’t buy one, a kit should at least come with some nice hop ups included not just the basic bottom line rtr striped bare imo

I’m not gonna crawl it I’m gonna bash the crap out of it ?????

I'm going against the grain and saying that I love fixed linkages on a basher. No faffing and the flex for maximum runtime. 

 

I had them on my sparrowhawk and they just worked   

 

How often do you change the cambe settings on a basher?

 Until you get the setting you want options are better to have than not after all ??

I guess they're not selling too well, this is a good way to get rid of the parts. Same truck, different box.

i wonder if they are selling off parts to make space for a stampede 2.0 like they have done with the revo, because of competition from other brands, that they cant win by suing this time
