I think the servo saver holds up pretty well on mine and are pretty cheap to replace. I would recommend getting a bigger bumper like the rpm one. It looks kinda goofy with the big bumper but it will protect the wheels up front a little better when nose diving into the ground considering the stock one doesn't even protect anything up front. I also always carry a extra servo saver.
I never seen a servo saver bust like that. You need a good BRUSHED motor. On a budget build you already own the speed control. Just can't go below 15 turn 540 motor on the xl5 speed control. I would recommend a good 27 turn motor. It should be around $15-35, unless u buy a handwond. I think u can go up to a 30turn on the esc. Put in a good 7 cell battery and have fun
Traxxas 2wd cars are made very cheaply. I have a Losi 25tooth servo arm on my slash and rustler. But for the stampede you have to use servo savers because there is no steering bellcrank or rack. The toe links just connect directly to the servo saver instead of a bellcrank. Hot racing makes a heavy duty aluminum servo saver. There is also a Kimbrough plastic one. Also for the front bumper. The front bumper on the Stampede, Rustler and Bandit aren't really a bumper. I recommend the RPM bumper for more protection in the front.
I also recommend the aluminum adjustable camber and toe links from traxxas. They hold up good and way more better than the flimsy plastic ones. RPM arms are a must. I broke alot of castor blocks with my cars so aluminum ones will be good for durability. I recommend the Atomik rc aluminum castor blocks and steering blocks. They are half the price of the traxxas ones and more adjustability and tuning. The atomik brand could be found on amazon.

4:03 That's what she said. 😂😂
Lol 😂
There is a white cap that goes over spring on servo saver.
You think I’m missing a piece?

Yeah it doesn’t have much of a front bumper does it…..maybe I’ll have to look into that…thanks!
I have the rpm bumper on mine and it is well worth it.
@@mynameisnickish good to know thanks!
I took one off my slash and peut it on my Vxl stampede
@@Xhendjshrbfb as long as it works….probably looks kinda odd on a Stampede though

Basically upgrade everything with steering and suspension and it will be all good to go. Thats what I did with my rustler and slash.
Alrighty thanks for all the recommendations!
Where you at bro I want you to help me build my car back
hr servo saver is a must the black HD one!!!
Ok thanks for the recommendation!
I see your channel is growing fast ! 🎉
It’s not really growing fast….it’s growing steadily though
Definitely expected that to break, front end hit hard and id say that's the weakest part on a 2wd
Yeah it was unfortunate but breakages happen
Ive burned up all my stock motors then i switched to brushless.
Yeah brushed motors aren’t known for longevity
is there going to be a cheapest traxxxas ruster project
Not sure?…..it won’t be in the near future anyways
what did you do to modify it? I'm trying to figure out how to modify mine

@@RCKnockout thank you
@@Roman-fu2ro you’re welcome
Yeah that’s a weak point on the stampede
Yeah I’d agree
There are a lot of weak points on that vehicle 😬🤣🤣
My 1st basher was a stampede 4x4 vxl bought proline trenchers thinks the drive shafts lasted about 3 minutes haha
That sounds about right lol…..I’m surprised I haven’t broken a driveshaft yet
@@RCKnockout run some 3s 80c packs lol
@@rcjoe406 it won’t allow a 3s pack with this brushed system unfortunately
@@RCKnockout ahhh ya forgot... when y do brushless leave the stockers on for a durability test
@@rcjoe406 oh yeah I definitely won’t replace them til they break
Nolan you are starting to grow on me😂
I use the Kimbrough 124 on mine. Helps with the wandering side to side the Stampede has.
What is that?
@@RCKnockout It's a heavy duty servo saver. Tighter spring inside.
@@jamesmoore7200 ok gotcha!
Well there you go! You know whats the next upgrade
Oh yeah!
sweet
Man you really have to mess up to break a brushed xl5 stampede.
Well it was a big jump and a hard landing…..so I didn’t have to try that hard
