This is such a beautiful truck, I can't wait to add it to my collection !
It's a must!!! I just got mine and I love it!!!
Great video! I received this truck for Christmas. I referenced the video to perform my upgrades to the steering blocks and shock caps. I'll eventually perform upgrades to the rest of the underbody - but was really impressed overall with your supplemental instruction. The only area where I really wish you could have spent a brief second on was removing / installing the e-clamps on the steering block shaft. I successfully lost one on each side: One time taking off and the other trying to put it back on. Overall though - this was a great tutorial. Thank you!
Hence calling them "oh shit" clips. Totally normal and pain in the ass I agree
@@16abind "Caster Block Shaft" is what I meant to say. Have you upgraded the motor at all - or messed with the gearing?
No, dont have mine anymore unfortunately. But ive had multiple stampedes, slashes and traxxas RC. Only thing I would say if the only motor upgrade worth doing in my opinion is brushless. Excess gearing on the brushed motors puts to much strain on them and it will probably die faster. Have to buy replacement motors more often@@SOTMC_Hollywood
I just bought one today... been eyeing it for several weeks at Hobby Town USA, finally drove 2 hrs away to get it.. can't wait to rip it around
Awesome video really like how you explained how to do the upgrades. I just got the new special edition Bigfoot number one looking forward to upgrading it like yours nice truck.
Thank you for the video.
You just convinced me to customize my traxxas green skully.
Nice upgrades. The bearings probably will help quite a bit. Thanks for sharing. 👍👍
I did all these upgrades on mine and it was significantly better!
About to buy one,Love the old big foot body.
Great upgrades this is a fun truck 👍
nice video and collection.
Great video thanks for the help
Cool u got the bigfoot I have the regular stampede. The bigfoot looks a whole lot cooler.
Well done video, good info to have! Does it hurt anything to run with the body removed as long as you don't flip it or crash hard?
those bushing in the old days when i started racing were called oillites
This Truck is cool! 🔝🤘✌
Doesn't matter if it runs well it will just make it look badass- Andrew
I agree dude I am totally into badass look, who cares about how it handles. That is for keeks man. I am totally into cool looks man. My buddies and I just look at our shit man. Everything else is so totally not even necessary and keeping my car totally like, you know super clean. Get my car dirty like in the dirt that is insane. I'm just kidding, bash that sucker man and have fun.
GREAT JOB MY MAN. (Get rid of the white shock springs) Go with BIGFOOT Blue. higherpower😎
Hi good video cool collection ,you want the wheelie bar on the Bigfoot! more than the Stampede
Do you think you can put the Bigfoot body on the traxxas 4x4 chassis
I got this for myself and my daughter a Craniac, but my question is,My Rustler VXL has a 19 tooth pinion and a RPM front axle widening kit and I'm running 4 front 2.8 Badlands on it,but with the Bigfoot and Craniac being brushed do I need to go ahead and go brushless and change the pinion gear before I put an RPM front widening kit on it,or will it be ok to install the kit before I make the Bigfoot and Craniac brushless?
Hi Andrew, do you use your Bigfoot truck? I ask as I haven't seen a video.
Can you pls tell me the website that you ordered the all the parts from?
whats the part number for the turnbuckle's?
WHAT IS THE PART NUMBER FOR THE FRONT A ARMS IN BLUE THAT YOU ARE USE =ING ?
Do you notice a big difference between the stock and the new bearings you installed? Just bought mine and thinking of doing mods.
Thx
Pretty sure the stock truck has bushings, I guarantee you it makes a difference
fixin to do this upgrade on mine cant figure out why mine is pullin to 1 side while drivin strait
Would you please provide me with the part number of the A-Arms you’re using in the front
Wat bearings do i need? Thanks
Can you give me all the part numbers to do this upgrade I just ordered Bigfoot earlier this week Im ready to do upgrades..I'd like to make it run 70 any advice or part numbers would be great thanks
🔥🔥🔥 can you please let me know what are the part number's
Awesome video just give the parts number of your upgrades.👍
What kind of chassis do we have
that come whit 7 cell hump..., fit a 7 cell flat battery? i have 3 flats for my slash....nice video!
HUGOLUIS2001 Gotta have the hump battery. Otherwise, it won’t fit.
I am thinking of getting the BigFoot. I was told its just a slash frame anyways. What do you like best about your Yruck? I want something that can handle payhways through the woods,medium grass,roots and leaves,do you think the Big foot would be best? I have a dromida truggy that is really fast but gets hung up easily on sticks and stuff,not really good for the woods.
scott firman mine (not Bigfoot no1, but Bigfoot) works excellent on grass and mud, especially with lipo :). I haven't really drove it in the woods but I believe it will work just fine bcause of the big wheels. Small tip, never land a jump while driving, this will break your car, happened to me. Ask me more questions if you got any :).
It's not a slash frame that's for sure. I'm pretty sure it's a Stampede frame. In fact some of the Bigfoots can take Stampede bodies without any modding.
+1 Thought about getting a bigfoot as well, I see a lot of people dumping $$ into brushless or bearing upgrades, and I was wondering can't I put a Bigfoot body & Wheels and tires and put them on a Stampede VXL? Plus you get TSM radio with it.
I’m in the same boat with that thinking. I want the Bigfoot just to have it in my lineup, but I love the speed of my Stampede VXL. I was at the hobby shop the other day looking at the Bigfoot, and the guy there took the body off it and it set perfectly on the Stampede VXL mounts. 😮 The Bigfoot body looks much wider so it didn’t think it would. They carry the wheels and tires for $30 each front and rear. It ticks me off the body is $80, but what’re you going to do? lol
@@bigbean78 its been some time since I posted this, but this is exactly what I did. I bought the vxl and bought Bigfoot body posts, wheelie bar, bumpers, etc and bought the Bigfoot body(s).
@@sinist3r723 I was surprised you replied so quickly to an old comment. 😆I’m also taking into consideration buying the entire Bigfoot kit with lights because I could swap the bodies and wheels and have a Bigfoot VXL and a brushed Stampede. I could also drive the Bigfoot as it comes. It’s going to be a pavement princess/display truck for me as I want to keep the body mint. Could me worth spending the extra $120 in my case.
@@bigbean78 i bought a body to have fun with and one to keep in mint condition. I even got it signed by Bob Chandler at their Bigfoot open house. So you don't have a bad idea! Whatever you do you will have fun!
@@sinist3r723 That’s bad ass to own one signed by Bob Chandler! I still have my Bigfoot toy truck that Playskool made back in the day with the gear shifters on top.
The upgrade you really wanna do is the screw kit with hex heads....
What are the upgrade parts #?
Isn't it bad for the steering servo by constantly moving around the front wheel position with it being off?
Not really but just make sure to always check your servo saver after you been doing it..I try not to touch the steering or make the wheels move too much without power, but it really doesn't hurt it..
You didn't have to drain and refill the shock oil when changing the caps?
Yes, it is recommended you do that, unless the seal stays in. If you can switch them without losing much it is fine to
Are the ball bearings less waterproof than the bushings? I have the exact same truck and love it yours looks better though after upgrades!! Got me looking for my wallet now 😂 take my money Traxxas!
Unfortunately that's how it seems to always end up :)
Check out th-cam.com/channels/wwf3dnA7_uYSwBmkTgIT4Q.html for a few little running videos, and he jumps it off the roof! It survives quite well
can u give me the part numbers for the bearings and blue lug nut
pro trick: watch movies on Flixzone. Been using them for watching loads of movies lately.
@Vance Elliott definitely, been watching on Flixzone for years myself =)
Those were steering links you put on the front, not the camber links.
Get some 5X8 MM flat fiber washers to put in behind the wheel hex to tighten up the slop between the hex, and the steering block. I put 2 on each corner on mine, and it took away a lot of the slop in them. And put those same flat washers between the steering block, and castor block to take out the slop in the steering.
You should have put the bearings, and axle back in the steering block before you put it back on the truck. And replace those plastic wheel hexes with aluminum ones, will keep from stripping them.
I went with all RPM parts on my truck, but I went with all black parts instead of the blue. But of course, it's all a matter of preference.
👍🏻
Cool! I make similar RC videos too!
What is the part number for the ball bearings?
Yeah no crap that's what I'm trying to figure out
you could used traxxas part # 5116
5x11x4 ball bearing any brand eBay sells em cheap
Just take that caster clip and throw it away you can buy the aluminum caster block and threaded pin
what's wrong with the stock a arms?
Jason Woodson, on big jumps they break, I have never broken one though.
+Isaac Lyons. nice truck son..
Jason Woodson, thanks.
Can you provide a part number list?
I would but i do not have the boxes anymore, you can just look it up on the internet.
Is wheelie bar available for this model?
신재준 yes, it's the same wheelie bar you can get for the 2wd slash and the rustler.
u should get a cheap 40$ brushless combo for it and run it on 2s
Rc_ KiNg, I did that and run it on 3s! Videos on my channel!
@@isaaclyonsf1 what did you go with a Gool system or Hobby Wing?
@@Jarhead1313 went with a GoolRC brushless power system in my skully, and a hobbywing Esc/turnigy motor in my backslash. Check some of my videos to see how they perform.
@@isaaclyonsf1 Couldn't someone just buy a Stampede VXL and put a Bigfoot body on it for cheaper? Plus you get TSM radio?
@@sinist3r723 think so
Where the hell are the part numbers??
Big foot or slash?
bigfoot, slash has no ground clearance
byGiNeSiToX Bananas I'm lucky to have both a lowered 4wd slash on rpm arms and a Bigfoot no.1 with a wheelie bar. life is good.
byGiNeSiToX Bananas it all depends what you were doing with it you're going for bashing then definitely go with the Bigfoot has the better acceleration but less top speed if you're going to go in an amateur class of racing go with the slash.
Stampede
Honestly I was in this same boat and I went with the bigfoot no 1. I may get a slash eventually, but for now I want some off roading fun. The slash is a bit low to the ground and the tires aren't as big. It's harder in taller grass.
Get a castle sv3 system
Don't do the work off camera!! It annoys me and it will be helpful for people to watch what you do so they could do it along with you. But I still liked the video. Great job
NO part numbers no good.
