Traxxas Pink Stampede 2wd
I build this one for my wife.
Somewhere early in 2017 I came across a trade for a Traxxas Son uva Digger. I bought it mainly as a spare for the body and the blue parts and wheels for the Traxxas Son uva Digger of my son Nick, https://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.asp?cid=131201 .
But the plan changed a little bit. I changed my mind and the leftovers of the chassis made a good starting point to build a Traxxas Stampede for my wife. All blue parts are replaced by pink parts to make a more female Monster Truck So I ordered myself a bunch of parts, paint, a Stampede 4x4 body and electronics to build a bulletproof Traxxas Stampede 2wd. So here it is. Got a lot of help from the Willy pitcrew and we are still adding hop-us and improving parts.
Originaly a 2WD XL-5 version, first thing is to clean it and get some better electronics in it. It has now a 2.4GHz Flysky receiver, LED lightning with a electronic switch on 3th channel, a Traxxas Velineon VXL-3s ESC/brushless motor set and a stronger waterproof and metal geared Power HD LW-20MG servo. It runs on a 2s 5000MaH LiPo battery.
Body is from original Traxxas Stampede pink body. Extra strength is added to the body by using Ride aluminium body repair tape.
Chassis got a complete rebuild and now has a complete set of rubber sealed bearings. Traxxas TRX aluminium shock caps and caster blocks. RPM front and rear camber blocks. RPM Slash front bumper. T-Bone Servo saver skid plate. A GoolRC front and rear LED kit. The wires of the Velineon set are pink meshed sleeved. And the shocks are upgraded, after the pictures that you see here, with stronger Traxxas titanium shock shafts and thicker oil. There was already a Traxxas wheeliebar on it. Wheels and tyres are a Louise MT-Pioneer set.
