Traxxas takes their monster trucks seriously, and the Stampede 4X4 VXL is engineered like no other to turn extreme power into extreme monster truck fun! The efficient, low-mass drivetrain has been optimized to withstand the brutal torque produced by the Velineon brushless power, and following the legacy of the Stampede name, this 4X4 is overbuilt and Traxxas Tough to withstand all the 4-wheel drive monster mayhem you can dish out. It’s even waterproof for fun in all kinds of wet conditions! The patented adjustable wheelie bar is required equipment as Stampede 4X4 launches hard, sending the front wheels soaring for the sky. The Velineon Brushless Power System and included Traxxas Power Cell 8.4V NiMH battery combine to unleash 40+mph, right out of the box. Install a 3S LiPo pack, and Stampede 4X4 shatters the speedometer with 60+mph speed! You’re in full control with the high-output Traxxas TQi 2.4Ghz radio system and the superior handling of fully independent suspension and smooth bellcrank steering.
The World's Most Advanced Ready-To-Race Radio System
This model is equipped with the Traxxas TQi radio system. The TQi delivers a full complement of tuning features and offers the unbeatable convenience of "no channels, no crystals" 2.4GHz technology—but that's just the beginning. Automatic model recognition instantly recalls your settings for up to 30 Traxxas Link-enabled models. Power up the transmitter and the model you want to drive, and the settings for that model are dialed in immediately! The transmitter is fully adjustable: steering and throttle end points can be set precisely, and the Multi-Function knob can be programmed to control Steering Sensitivity (Expo), Throttle Sensitivity (Expo), Steering Percentage (Dual Rate), Braking Percentage (Dual Rate), or Throttle Trim, and the ergonomic case design provides all-day driving comfort.
Traxxas Link Wireless Module Compatible
The TQi's most important feature may already be in your pocket. The TQi can be equipped with an Traxxas Link Wireless Module (TRA6511, sold separately) that turns your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch (sold separately) into a powerful tuning tool for your Traxxas model. The full-color display combines with the free Traxxas Link App (on the App Store) to deliver an intuitive, high-definition, full-color graphical user interface that unlocks the mysteries of optimizing your radio system for ultimate vehicle control. Traxxas Link also opens the door to telemetry capability when you add the optional telemetry sensors (sold separately) to your model.

They also maybe running different wheels/tires as well. Let alone they have access to the high end lipos that most of us won't buy! However there are those out there that just like modifying just to be different.
I'm the type of person to only upgrade when something breaks...lighter weight with stock parts means longer run times, easier load on the motor, and the way it was designed by the engineers.
But to each his own. I built up a 16 pound show truck esavage with full FLM chassis, Lunsford titanium parts, Kershaw Designs brushless motor mount system, Robinson Racing hardened steel gears, CEN 7.7 spider diffs, a direct drive system, and a MMM/2200kv Medusa Afterburner way before the Savage Flux was ever introduced.
But IMO the Stampede 4x4 VXL is waaay too overpriced. Buy either the brushed or find a new roller on eBay and drop a better brushless system into it that's even cheaper and more powerful than the VXL system.
