78.8 Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 (edited) Here's my new basher, 19's old Stampede VXL I'd just sold the Erevo 1/10, stock brushed and great, but wanted something smaller and unbrakeable.... ...Found it Running on 2s 5.2a 30c turnigys, with DX3S and big smiles Edited October 6, 2010 by 78.8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Kev Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Nice photo's. Just been out with mine. It's pretty much the same spec as your one but lowered a little. I love it, it's a lot of fun and the perfect little basher, almost indestructible and easy to transport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lorrylemming Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 love my stampede i've got 3 (well one is in bits but its complete). If you miss it enough there is one on ebay going its fully rpm and all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpowell911 Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 ive had 7 of them mate, And i think that was the best one I've owned, But i just didnt use it, what with the rest of my cars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Kev Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 I nearly always take mine with me when I go bashing. If the other car I take breaks something I always know I can rely on old faithful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratman Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 What ever you do keep it as stock as you can or it will end up like mine with hardly anything stampede left on it.lol.

Very Nice ratman:good: What is the chassis and shocks mate? Think this stampede staying as is, with all the RMP hop-ups it got - flexi works best for my style of driving ..defo found that out after yesterday but dont tell 19 lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratman Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 HAHA. flex is a good thing. My rpm jato arms will agree with that.lol. the shocks are GPM and made for MTA4, the chassis top deck was made for me by a freind who does CNC and CAD stuff so that i could use the lower skids and braces from an emaxx as i kept breaking the stock braces.

The only thng I would change is the RPM Castors to Aluminium ones! I've had 7 stampedes, All modded differently. 1 was 4WD, 1 was a speed freak. And one I simply took tooooooo far. I wish I had pics, But it had everything aluminium with a custom Extreme R/C Silver Carbon Chassis. Looked awesome, But I never used it. I can confidently say that the one you bought off me was the best IVe owned, But after 7, IVe had to move on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratman Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 yeah as 19 said, def get the alloy caster blocks as the rpm ones tend to bend the pins when they flex, go for trx or strc ones in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Kev Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Another vote for alloy casters, I've got Traxxas caster blocks on mine and my sons. First time out with RPM I bent a king pin on a small jump that should never have done any damage. Didn't have any spares with me and had to take the walk of shame.

78.8 Posted October 6, 2010 Author Share Posted October 6, 2010 Got a huge box delivered this morning... Opened and found my new albianian child slave! Seemed very happy to get some air after his long journey in the box..lol Joking its just my little lad Been reading most the 1/8th brushless threads and creamsodas LST2 e conversion caught my eye the most... ended up getting this.. 80a enzrun esc 2300kv enzrun motor spekty rx/tx 11.1v lipo First off its huge, bigger than I thought, just check the size of the shocks.. Next to the Stampede VXL (naked) Another with the shells on From above Shell swap, my little boy's idea I did take it out after a few checks, f**king hell I love it...what a ride, didnt thrash as it needs some new bits, motor mount looks like part of a shelf bracket lmao..but well happy my new RC Will be ordering a fair bit to finish off the conversion soon. (will put info on parts later) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creamsodauk Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 that looks awesome dude! they are all about the size arent they! Glad the first run whent well, now you can start to spruce it up and sort out new motor mount. I miss having a stock painted shell they look so cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.AJ. Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Love the LST2 mate, im gona do a E conversion for my Muggy when the motor packs in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Kev Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 (edited) Awesome looking truck. I like the Stampy shell on it, makes it look even BIGGER! Gotta say I really like the stock shells on them too, just something about the shape and colouring of them that really sets the whole thing off.

78.8 Posted October 6, 2010 Author Share Posted October 6, 2010 Thanks for the comments guys I'm normally a size isnt everyhting kinda guy, but the presence of the LST2 is just amazing..it demans your attention lol. The ride is pure pleasure..something about the size, power and response. Saddly stock shell is cream crackered at rear but good for bashing, got a clear one on order but dog knows what paint its going to have, stock colours do add to its look. Lol you know the motor mounts going ... going in garage to help keep a shelf up lmao My kids think the stampede shell should live on the LST2 lol, but they would sleep with the Monster shell given any chance..they love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DazzaClio Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Looks really good mate, i really like the look of the Lst 2 but havent seen one in person yet the shocks are the main thing that catch my eye. Where did you find it? Good luck getting it sorted, then bash it . Thanks Darren. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
