Traxxas Electric Stampede #2 (My Son's Pede) | |
Bought this for my son from eBay for $104. It came with 4 Traxxas Big Bore aluminum shocks, a 10-turn handwound motor, RPM bumper, and no speed control. The 10-turn went back on eBay, the Big Bore's went to my pede, and he got the XL-1 ESC outta my pede. I decided I wanted to slow this truck down for him. He's only 5 and this is replacing a real crummy ole' Nikko. To accomplish this, I got a slower RS-550PF motor and geared it 18/81. I *HIGHLY* recommend this setup for a young child. It goes just over 10mph or so with plenty of torque to spare. This might sound slow, but the pede chassis at this speed with an RPM bumper is just about indestructible and this particular motor has an internal fan. Neither the motor or the XL-1 even gets warm after a full run. Mods are:
