Traxxas Stampede Rebuild and Mods

[neffk21]

Hey everyone, this is my Traxxas Stampede. As you can see something is wrong with it..... Well let's just say this is what happens when the truck met a ATV rut on the hill I was jumping it on. The wheel caught and flipped it multiple time before coming to a rest with broken shock mounts, wireds from the battery to the esc was ripped apart, both drive shaft yokes were blown to pieces. and the rear support was snapped. Here are some pics.







If anyone has any ideas what to add to this truck, I'm taking it to college and probably going to bash it around at skate parks. Please and thanks. Also sorry for the really large photos.

Rpm parts and a custom body is always fun

Do you know anywhere I can find any type of Dodge or Chevy truck bodies?

Try ProLine or HPI, they've got alot of bodies that are based on real vehicles, I know HPI got some Dodge and I know ProLine got atleast one Chevy

hmmm lets start with aluminum shock towers, venom shocks, aluminum bulk head, aluminum and carbon camber links, take it brushless (your preference), spacers for the esc plate so you can fit lipos under it, aluminum hub carriers, aluminum servo saver (a must snapped a crap load of plastic ones), all metal gears for the tranny, cvds, motor fan, flysky receiver (range is awesome), slightly better tires.....

Thanks Goblintinker, it's already brushless but i'm getting a system for it and trying to strengthen the whole tuck
