Traxxas Stampede - Back To Velineon Power
After destroying a Speed Passion motor in my Stampede I've gone back to Velineon power so it's fast, fun and reliable again. Sadly I only had my mobile to film this run on so quality isn't the best and it was pouring with rain but we still had a lot of fun.
The Stampede is mostly stock apart from alloy wheelie bar wheels and shock caps, RPM front arms and bumper and heavy duty drive shafts.

Speed Passion brushless motor in Stampede killed in one run!
มุมมอง 3.1K8 ปีที่แล้ว
Haven't done a video for a while so I put a new Speed Passion Reventon S ESC & Competition 3.0S 3500kv brushless motor combo I got for less than £30 (rcmart sale) into my Stampede as I'm always using the electrics from that in other RC's. Sadly the motor died after only one battery pack! Speed gearing or crap motor, who knows? To see Stampede go back to Velineon th-cam.com/video/PP7S7nc7At4/w-d...

Got a madbull I've converted too the mad mad bull.all stock electrics,550 15t motor on 17t pinoin its the max the back diff cope with battery 8.4v 5000nimh it shifts
Fit 1/8 wheel conversion too longer stance at back
Get a mad bull fella me grandson got one each ftx vantage shocks all round ballraced
I was about to say I ordered mine in grey last night and wont be here till next month.
You should let me have one of them old remotes from ya? lol Mine spring in my remote doesn't wannna go back to the center...
Hi. I only just recently picked up a couple of these chassis. I had a.break from RC for about ten years. This video is very helpful.
You repaired the roof in the video cover photo with steel strap? Looks like a good repair.
Great video, everything explained nicely & easy to understand. Watching this in 2020 and just got inspired to rebuild my 10 year old Double Blaze. Thanks mate
Hi what are the details of the model shop you got the front bumper from please.
What bumper are you using please?
Why don't you like the EU?
Mine came with the battery already inside
Anyone know a way of upgrading the shocks without having to hack the chassis?
I’m thinking strongly about this model. Thanks for the video. 👍🏻👍🏻
Hiya I just wanted to ask how did you find the gt3 and did you have any problems with it and are you still using it my friend :-)
What size pinion ? The Grasshopper transmission with small tires use a 18 or 20 tooth pinion. You have large lunchbox/monster beetle tires. Those models use a 10 tooth pinion with an offset motormount to compensate for the larger tires.
This looks sweet
I dont know if it was just me but my dads dual used to shred its servos
I also have a hornet with midnight pumpkin tires n wheels n a team CRP body lift kit
I have a stock old grasshopper but with a midnight 2 motor n a LRP ESC I was basHing in front of my house n I hit my neighbors. Mailbox n broke the chassis at the front shock mount. I replace it. It's in one of my. Videos Check it out
for the . servo arm, i just used a dremel to trim a bit more space
Nice mods i bought a used hopper off ebay and will be doing some of these 👍👍💣💣
to re set the gear ratio put the lunchbox pinion/ motor spacer on it will go better with stock motor
Be careful of the Traxxas 380, it is actually longer than a 380. it may interfere with your right shock.
I agree, I too like the technical how-to videos. Cool video, none the less. Are you going to modify the transmitter with the PSX 6.0.1 firmware? Keep the content coming!
Awesome build! I did something like this when I was a kid (owned a grass hopper and a midnight pumpkin) Nice bumper, watch those tires on things you will blow those servo gears in a heartbeat. - from personal experience!
Just realized how old this video is .. still think it is a cool build though!
FOR SALE.... An original R/C Tamiya Opel Ascona. It worked when put away in the 80's. Still has it's mechanical speed controller. Shares many parts with the original Wild Willy. Rear end should still be AOK. Could be easily brought back to life. Will go on ebay soon. Serious inquiries only please.
They look like Tamika madbull wheels
Tamiya grasshopper came with a 380 motor but was upgradable to a 540
Could you post a link to where you got those tires and rims? I'm having big trouble finding something semi-offroad capable as far as tires go for the Grasshopper II and I don't know how to convert the hubs so I can fit different wheels on it... I'd really appreciate it as I'm completely upgrading my old Grasshopper 2 right now (ESC, 540 23T Sports Tuned with 32dp 18t pinion, and a 2.4GHz receiver)
SLeepy Cat 明玲久寿 www.rcmart.com/tamiya-19335032-wheel-58060-p-67343.html?cPath=35_899 for the wheels but they are gold not yellow.
SLeepy Cat 明玲久寿 The tires are www.rcmart.com/tamiya-50374-monster-spike-tire-p-8385.html?cPath but most 2.2 tires should fit. They aren't the best, I just liked the looks.
Thanks! I really appreciate it :D
Use lunchbox wheels as they fit a treat. You just got to change the front hubs. It’s fun taking bits on and off. You will like it
Could you give a link to those wheels & tires? I have a grasshopper myself and am looking for big tires with a lot of grip so it finally runs offroad reliably
the cd disc is the instructions for it
Hi could you please tell me how you connect the second battery?
Darren Mawhood - The ESC is a Traxxas EVX-2 which has 2 battery connection leads, as does the original Tamiya ESC it replaced.
I also have a tl01 that I've converted to a catagory 2 drift car. I am looking to replace the electrics in it, would you recommend this setup? Keep up the vids!!!
No, it's way over the top in price and power and I didn't even run a lipo. I just happened to have one and wanted to try it. I'm no drifting expert but I'm pretty sure you'd be fine with a cheap brushless combo. I haven't posted a video for ages. I love makig them and I've got a few filmed but I just hate editing them.
I also got a TL01 I have no issues with keeping mine straight.....I have 2cell lipo and a 4200 4 pole brushless set up from castle.... maybe you have suspension adjustment issues or maybe the traxxas setup is more potent than mine
I put it down to the motor overpowering the worn out parts, slow servo and friction shocks. I've gone back to a brushed Traxxas 12t now and it's a little more controllable.
Have you got any scuffs on the two cells that hang down below?
No, it sits up quite high with the big wheels. Off road or big jumps would be a different story though!
I'm all about modding Tamiyas like this. Great video.
Thank you.
the original grasshopper came with a 540 if I am correct in thinking and the reproduction model came with a 380
We both might be wrong. I just had a look on ebay and all the Grasshoppers, re re and originals, say they have 380 motors! Maybe someone else knows different?
+NO2theEU both the original and release have 380 moters
The Grasshopper 1 came with a 540, the GH2 and its re-release version both come with a 380
Original cane with a 380. To fit the 540 you would need the hornet upgrade.
where did you get the skid plate /front bumper from? I really want one for my grasshopper
It's from my local shop, RadshapeRC (made right here in Birmingham) but also online - www.radshaperc.com/product/tamiya-grasshopper-bumper-skid-plate-style-a-clear - They make 3 other designs too.
It's a pretty cool piece.
Very nice run through. Thanks. Ugliest front tower I've seen but nice to see some creativity. How long shocks would you recommend for those extended towers? It seems to fall down a bit. But Thanks for the vid. Excellent explained. Got a WT-01 project comming up so it's nice to see what others have done.
+Nordic RC Visions Thanks, glad you found it useful. The front tower is definitely more strength than beauty! It would probably look better if I could be bothered to dye it black. I think 100mm shocks are just about right for increasing travel without stressing the dog bones too much.
Thanks for sharing the info. That's what I hoped for, 100 mm, have 4 lying around :-)
Using +4 or +6 off set wheels helps, makes the car wider.
good review, about how long does the battery last?
+A RANDOM JOE I've never run it flat so I can't be sure but it seems very long lasting. I bought a spare battery just in case but have never had to swap even after a whole day of RCing.
+NO2theEU Thanks. I ordered the orange version today 👍
+A RANDOM JOE No problem, hope you like it as much as I do and thanks for watching.
@@NO2theEU nice I can't wait till mine gets here, it It doens't have a built in gyro like they told me "all of the new one's cannot be modded we already changed everyting.".....lol
can you send me the for the uk seller thank you
+craig coleburt The seller was passiontakung2015 on eBay but I just checked and they aren't selling any right now. However there are 2 UK sellers offering red/black and silver/black for just under £35 which is £5 less than I paid so you're in luck.
thank you so much happy rcing
Awesome project :) I just recently picked up a Tamiya Wild Dagger (Ebay Find) had one before, but unfortunately I took it to school for it's first run and it got stolen from my locker :( so never had a chance to run mine when I was a kid. What upgrades would you recommend?
+SiTheBugski Thanks. If it's stock then bearings, an ESC and oil shocks are a good place to start. If you're going for a basher with a lot more power then HPI or Traxxas dual motor set ups are the (expensive) way to go. Check out the overview of my Tamiya Dual Hunter with E-Maxx Power, its a Wild Dagger chassis with a different body - --th-cam.com/video/35iX4DhLVXE/w-d-xo.html - That will give you loads of ideas for upgrades. If you want to go trailing or crawling it's not really the ideal truck but taller shock towers, longer shocks and locked diffs help a little. The steering will always be rubbish but my Dual Hunter video and this build show how I improved it on both trucks. If like me you crash a lot then you'll get through a lot of c hubs, steering blocks and c hub screws. I carry 2 sets whenever I take mine out! Hope you have a lot of fun with it.
Thanks so much for going in-depth. I've already ordered rubber sealed bearings for the WD, I'm also going to buy hard steel CVD joints, Steel dog bones, etc. To improve the durability. Also I'm going to buy all the alloy parts for the WD (Arms, Shock tower, C hubs, etc) I may even purchase an alloy chassis, but I haven't found any listed in the UK so that's a bummer. As for electronics I plan on fitting a twin brushless system, so 2 ESC's & Motors @ 12Turn (I understand that front mounted motor needs to run in reverse, also needs to be 0 timed), not sure yet what brand of receiver, transmitter & servo I'll go for yet.
+SiTheBugski No problem. I've always broken CVDs so i just stick to OFNA dog bones on the rear and 3Racing M03 heavy duty front axles with standard dogbones and the standard rubber ring at each end for the front, hopefully you'll have more luck than I did with them. The alloy c hubs and steering blocks are great but watch out for the increased steering lock, I'd pop out the dog bone every time I went full throttle at full lock with the standard axles & dog bones. I never tried them with CVDs or the HD axles though. Good luck with the build.
the most powerfull yet most utterly rubbish RC I ever owned. Converted it to a Slash as soon as possible, but still rubbish. But good on you for having fun with it buddy. My Valineon system is sat waiting for summink 4wd to sit in.
+paulmcnamara16 Yeah, I love the Velineon system, especially in Tamiya's. It's too powerful for them but lots of fun! I'm surprised you hate the Stampede so much though. I find it drives much better than any of my Tamiya's (but I still love Tamiya's more, even with all their flaws).
Just recently begun to hate 2wd RCs. My fleet is almost totally 4wd now. Got a nearly fully RPMd Slash 2wd and still dont like it. Given it every chance but still cant find love for it. Biggest mistake ever letting the TL01 LR3 go.
+paulmcnamara16 I agree (about the Land Rover, I've never tried a Slash). 4x4's are definitely better but I can't remember ever breaking anything on the Stampede (apart from the Speed Passion motor) so that's probably why I like it so much.
Cant knock the Traxxas 2wd platform's legendary reliability but I just dont like there handling. Mine has rpm suspension and proline trencher SCs and it still doesnt do it for me. Not prepared to spend any more cash on it. But got an idea. Transversely center mount the gearbox and use two spare emaxx diffs and make a mutant 4x4. Well at least have a try!!
ANY MOD MADE ON 80S CAR WILL BE A USELESS AND WASTED OF TIME. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO, PUT THIS BODY TO A NEW RC CHASIS.
+TK11R2 True, I could just buy a new RC, but that wouldn't be much of a challenge, wouldn't remind me of my childhood and, most importantly, wouldn't be something unique that I have modified myself. I'm guessing you'd think I was really wasting my time if you saw my Clodbuster. Actually, you're right, my Clodbuster is still rubbish, damn! Oh well, I still love it. Each to their own I guess.
It will not be completely useless. The vintage Tamiya models are virtually indestructible, and although they have terrible suspension, they're still fun. I upgraded mine to a 540 sports tuned motor, replaced the msc with an esc, bought a 2.4ghz receiver and remote, and a 4000mah stick pack. It runs like a champ. The only thing that drives me crazy is trying to find the right tires because I'd like to have something with a real tread instead of just pin spikes, so I can drive offroad.
welcome back dude long time no see. Well a Traxxas hey buddy! Had one do that it was a motor wire come away. I suggest HobbyWing ESC as a cheap Vs good compromise. And wheres that LR3 hiding?
+paulmcnamara16 Thanks! I've been doing more work on my RC's than actually driving them recently and couldn't be bothered to worry about filming at the same time. Had the Stampede for ages but the motor/ESC is always in other RC's. As this motor is toast and the Grasshopper is in bits I've swapped the Velineon system back into the Stampede now, I'd forgotten how much fun it was! As for the LR3, I've bought a new Hobbywing waterproof twin motor ESC with a crawler setting but haven't got round to fitting it yet.
