    I've got a prince mono 29" electric, but I'm selling it whenever I get a chance. They are fun though.

    Edit: 25" not 29"

    probably cheap as I haven't used in a long time so I will probably sell it as a hull, although it does have brushless motor 380 size I think, esc and voltage regulator 6V for the receiver.

    This a video of the only time I ran it:

    No problem, I'll check it out in the weekend and take some pics of it, honestly I just want the space, so I would probably ask for whatever it takes to ship it.

    Gotta like cheap upgrades.


    I took the wheels that came on the stampede off, they need to be reglued, in the mean time i put on my old slash wheels, dont look too bad. I have some adjustable body posts on the way with some rpm parts to make it look a little better.

    definitely!

    and you will want to upgrade the drive shafts for that stampede. slash 4x4 rears are a direct bolt on. i have never broken one on my 2wd slash, even with a 6 pole motor in it.

    I snapped both rears on my 4x4 slash 2nd time running with the mmp 2400 in it. I do have 2 stock drive shafts i can throw on it if you say there better.

    I dont plan to do anything to this stampede, i just want it to run and be able to bash it when i break the others, haha.

    they are better than the stocks. 2wd cars dont have enough traction to snap them, thats my theory lol. they are beefier than the 2wds though.

    Makes sense, iv only been able to run it in the rain and i couldnt get traction at all damn near. I can always just leave it stock, if i snap any I have spares ready to go from my slash.

    Well lets see, on Thursday the 19th, I bought a Traxxas Stampede 4x4 VXL Brushless. Drove is on Friday, the 20th (my bday) and my GF had a lot of fun after driving it for 30 seconds and wanted her own. So back to the hobby shop and bought her a Traxxas 1/16th E-Revo. Played all day Friday and my dad fell in love. I told him about this used E-maxx at the shop, but it was pretty beat up, and he told me he wanted it. On Saturday, my brother and I went in halfsies and decided to get him the new Stampede like mine, since he got some bad news, so we also got him some 2s lipos and charger. Also had to buy new control arms for the mini e-revo due to breaking. Then toasted the Servo on the revo. Then on Sunday I broke the right rear yoke on my stampede and the charger we bought my dad took a shit. So quiet a bit of money spent over the last few days. The hobby shop owner sure did smile every time I walked in there, three days in a row.
