The best-selling Traxxas Stampede was the first high-performance monster truck and it's legendary ruggedness has made the Stampede name synonymous for monster truck driving fun.

Today, the Stampede has a hot new look, innovative features, and of course, more power to boost the fun quotient even higher. Combine the increased horsepower with the tall, drive-over-anything ground clearance; ultra-tough suspension; and easy operation, Stampede will quickly become your favorite for all kinds of monster truck action. Stampede is still the first name in high-performance monster trucks.

Note: This kit uses the new Traxxas High Current Connectors to connect the batteries to the electronic speed control. So if your batteries have the old style molex connector, you will need an adapter TRA3062, or replace the connector on your battery with TRA3080 connector.

Traxxas Stampede Monster Truck RTR w/Waterproof XL-5 Speed Control (w/Battery &
I love this truck it's easy and fun to drive and the best thing is you can clean it with water and the electronics won't get damaged.

but I highly suggest that you break in the motor cuz you will have more power and the motor will last for a longer time so it's better to break it in.

Traxxas Stampede Monster Truck RTR w/Waterproof XL-5 Speed Control (w/Battery &
The Traxxas Stampede is a good truck, if you're a beginner. I'll go over the negatives first. 1. The tires dont get good traction on very many surfaces. 2. I think the suspension is too stiff and no matter what terrain or surface you're on it is just hard to keep all four tires on the ground. 3. There is a very weak point on this truck and it is the caster blocks. You will find yourself breaking these a lot but part support is easy. 4. It flips over A LOT!!! Ok, so those were the negatives, now for the positives. 1. The Stampede is a Traxxas, so you can find parts easily at any hobby shop. 2. It includes a 7 cell battery and basic wall charger so it is great for beginners because you dont have to buy batterys and chargers. 3. This is the only reason I give it four stars, was the price point. VERY good price for a first rc, and it is not too slow. Would I recomend this? For a first rc, yes I would because I think it is a good value. If you have driven many rc's and you're more experinced you might this isin't as fun and you might want to look for something else. The Stampede has been around for many years and is a good rc.

This is a great truck, it runs really good and it gets through and terrain. Sometimes I have to give it a little push up the hill so the tires could grip the dirt. It hold a charge really good. I have ran it in water and it does great. The suspension on the truck is also great and that helps the truck get through and terrain. It includes a 7-cell battery that allows the truck to go 30+. Overall, the truck is great.

Traxxas Stampede Monster Truck RTR w/Waterproof XL-5 Speed Control (w/Battery &
Great truck. I bought this for my first re-entry vehicle; the last one I drove was a Tamiya Falcon from the 80s.

The Stampede is not only faster in stock form, even with the brushed motor and 6-cell packs, but it has better suspension, is more durable, and can run in the grass with no problems.

The speed, even with the smaller provided pinion gear is plenty enough for off-road. It is actually too much most of the time; one has to get good at throttle control, or there will be a lot of spin-outs and flip-overs.

The stock Traxxas radio, I was expecting to be pretty ghetto, but it is actually quite nice. I had no glitching problems at all.

I wrote a more complete user review over on rcuniverse.com, check it out for more details.

There is one mod I recommend doing right away, even though it runs great out of the box: ball bearings to replace the bronze bushings at all four wheels. Steering is more precise and run times are slightly longer. There is also a weird type of satisfaction when I flip the truck accidentally, but the front wheel keeps spinning and spinning. I do realize that Traxxas did bushings instead of bearings to keep the cost under control. Plan on spending about another $25 for a set of bearings, and $25 for battery packs.

I'm saving now for a Novak sensored brushless setup, probably the 13.5 turn one. Looking forward to longer run times, but probably will not try to make it go any faster. Maybe a nice Futaba 2.4 GHz radio too, so I don't get "shot down" by someone using their CB. (I heard the 27 MHz AM band that the radio works on is shared with CB)

One other weakness is the lack of complete disassembly/reassembly instructions. It is nice that it is RTR and all, but what happens when I break something or want to upgrade a part, and I don't know how the hell to take 'er apart? I hope Traxxas will publish something like this.

Overall, I'm quite happy; the truck goes just about everywhere and seems to do just about everything well.

I bought this truck instead of a local shop, because of the low prices mainly. The truck itself is amazing, besides a burned up motor.Its great for an area with short or dead grass and mabey a road or two. make sure if your driving in dirt to get a sock of toe of panty-hoes to cover up the motor from burning up. Hope you buy one!!!
