Traxxas Stampede VXL RC Truck: Sterling Highschool
Got to take out the new truck today for some speed tests and some general bashing around. I (or should I say my friend) did damage a part, but it didn’t brea…

Chris Fessenden said he had loaned the truck to a group of fellow soldiers,
who used it to check the road ahead of them on a patrol. It got tangled in
a trip wire connected to what Fessenden guesses could have been 500 lbs. of
explosives. The bomb went off. The six soldiers controlling the truck from
their Humvee were unhurt.

@dresden67 I read it and it’s a great story…very cool. It was a Traxxas
truck with FPV gear on it. Something that can be easily done but can
obviously save lives in the battlefield, So cool

@xtrmn8tr1 Maybe but I don’t see why. I wasn’t tearing up the track. If I
was I would have stopped. I’m not tryin to damage property.

@locksmack Thanks for the heads up. I don’t have them in front of me but I
think the Lipos are rated 30-45C. I thought this was more than enough but I
don’t profess to be a wizard at power plants either. I think these
batteries are done now anyway. I had the truck out the other day with these
batts. fully charged. It would only run for a bit, not nearly as long as it
used to, and would stop…low voltage protection? I may sell it. Too busy
to even drive it.

im building a brushless pede right now, but for some reason i never have
that much fun with land vehicles, the planes are where its at! & helis now

@mrlagit25 I have only traxxas cars. I would recommend the traxxas slash
4×4 or the traxxas slash 2wd. If you are looking for more of a basher type
car go with the traxxas E-Maxx. I hope this helps.

Running the Zippy 3S 2100mah batteries I’ve been getting about 10-15
minutes depending on how I’m running it. However, because some of them are
my airplane batteries I hardly ever run them down all the way.

@evony65 I’ve just found electric RC in general much easier, cleaner, lower
volume. This is mostly for planes as I would never be able to fly in a
neighborhood field with a Nitro plane. I’d get too man noise complaints.
With the trucks your right for speed you can’t beat electric, it’s all
torque! I’m just glad I got into RC when I did, about 4-5 years ago.
Electric batteries and power plants have come a long way!

are you in Adelaide? Because I live in Stirling, not sure if it was
incorrectly spelt :L

I’d be wary using those batteries with the Stampede mate, even if it is a
30C battery, it would only be pushing 60 amps….chances are its more like
20C and pushing 40 amps. That truck needs a bit more than that, 70+. Be
careful you dont puff your battery.

@mrlagit25 you must buy a rustler vxl or an e-revo or bandit vxl

@spartafan99 LOL! If you didn’t like the video why would you watch the
whole thing! And then comment on it? Wow!

@stompjrkz400 I agree completely. I always prefer to fly RC then to drive
RC. You don’t have the same freedom. I have a few planes now (I’ve had many
more). I have a heli and a Hexikopter. I fly all the time.

@MrGamester66 Is dat English? Just kidding, No they’re chrome.

how big is that lipo?
November 9th, 2013 at 12:16 pm
Wow what an asshole. I don’t miss those highschool or those teachers. I’m
30, this is just a local highschool. If a teacher had stepped on my truck I
would have punched him in the face. That being said, never been bothered
here and I fly my planes here too.

I’m not sure expo will work on EP throttle. Would be cool if Im wrong
though.
November 9th, 2013 at 12:55 pm
damn…it would eat my 2350 😀

As in Rock Crawling? No there are specially made trucks for that. Not sure
if you could mod it into one but I would think you would need more low end
torque. This truck is like a race car with big wheels.

Nah, Sterling highschool NJ
November 9th, 2013 at 1:37 pm
@j6sj7 HA! That’s funny man. What year did you graduate? I got a lot of
friends that went there. Even though I grew up a mile from the school I
would have went to Triton but unfortunately I did not go to public school.

@spacepolic29 Should of had it all decked in steel and then see them step
in front of it at 60mph lol..

@imserious2187 Stock Gearing. I think it was just a Hobby king 3cell
2100mah lipo. You can run bigger and it will last you longer but at some
point your sacrificing speed for weight.

Fun video. Your truck is wicked fast. I really like the toned down
Zippys are a heck of a good
graphics. Nice driving too! You may already know this but you can leave the
body on a Pede when you change the battery
battery for the money. I wish I had my zippies for my last video.
