Hey,
I JUST finished my truck today. 4X4 stampede.
It has:
Dual Titans on 14.4 Volt EVX
Hitec 645MG Servo.
RPM Gear Covers
RPM Bearing Carriers.
RPM Clawz 6 Spoke Rims.
Swami C-Hubs.
T-maxx Turnbuckles.
Traxxas camber links.
Traxxas BigBore Shocks and blue shock covers.
Imex J-Hawgs.
Deans all around.
Hardened Steel Yokes (rear)
R&R Lite Pinon and Spur.
Custom Alumaninum mounts and front suspension Braces.
Rustler Body on top.
Here are the pictures...
Well I took it out runnnig today. Had about 15 degrees toe in, becuase I REALLY need to adjust it. But it is a very strange handling. I can do dounts on pavement. And it sways so far but it won't slide, the tires gets too much traction. I think its because of the high sidewall. It could also be the toe in I have. But I will fix it and try tomorrow. Its like its swaying on the rim( the tire is.
Anyway, tell me what you think, comments and suggestions please.

I was wondering when you would be able to do some off roading? I would also like to know how much it weighs with and without batteries.

I was out offroading today. Not much, little dirt. My toe in was so messed i can't say how it handles now. I had it offroading a few weeks ago with a different set up. It can outdrive a rustler and regular pede hands down.
Its 6 Pounds with batteries, which is lighter than a maxx. Sorry, don't know without batteries.4X4 Stampede With: Dual Permax 600's with EVX, 2400 Sanyo packs, Aluminum idlers, RPM Clawz, Imex Truck Pull tires, 645MG Servo, Big Bores, RR Pinon and Spur, Metal Camber's, Swami's Aluminum C-hubs, Hardened Steel Yokes, Ruslter Bell-crank, Deans Toped Off with a Rustler Body.

Isn't 15 degrees toe-in a bit much. I don't know about 4wd trucks, but 15 degrees to me is 12 degrees to much!

15 degrees is WAY TOO MUCH.
It actually slows down the truck. I had a different servo saver on, this new on is bigger, so I need to shorten my turnbuckles ALOT.
The conversion cost me alot, I started from scratch. If you have a pede already, it is not much more than 100 dollars. If you want to know look at Beeni's thread, that shows how its done. This thread is for my truck.
I'm going to mess with my suspension and fix my toe in today(put it to 1 degree) and I'l tell ya how it drives then.4X4 Stampede With: Dual Permax 600's with EVX, 2400 Sanyo packs, Aluminum idlers, RPM Clawz, Imex Truck Pull tires, 645MG Servo, Big Bores, RR Pinon and Spur, Metal Camber's, Swami's Aluminum C-hubs, Hardened Steel Yokes, Ruslter Bell-crank, Deans Toped Off with a Rustler Body.

Thats Pooblah!
Their Sanyo 2400 cells. I really don't know, my LHS puts them together, they say NP - nuclear power on them. I have had many sets of them, they have lasted over 3 hundred runs on my maxx, then i got a new set and itson about its 10th run. They perform very well, lots of punch and run time. I bough them at www.greathobbies.com4X4 Stampede With: Dual Permax 600's with EVX, 2400 Sanyo packs, Aluminum idlers, RPM Clawz, Imex Truck Pull tires, 645MG Servo, Big Bores, RR Pinon and Spur, Metal Camber's, Swami's Aluminum C-hubs, Hardened Steel Yokes, Ruslter Bell-crank, Deans Toped Off with a Rustler Body.

NO, it cost alot more than 100$
I got the chassis put on last night. Needs to be cut in the front a little bit, but other than that, its great.
I'm going to clean things up on it before I post pictures.
I managed to break a T-maxx 105 front turnbuckle. I went about 7 MPH, went side ways and hit a curb lightly, and it bent. I can bend it back, but I though they would be stronger than this...4X4 Stampede With: Dual Permax 600's with EVX, 2400 Sanyo packs, Aluminum idlers, RPM Clawz, Imex Truck Pull tires, 645MG Servo, Big Bores, RR Pinon and Spur, Metal Camber's, Swami's Aluminum C-hubs, Hardened Steel Yokes, Ruslter Bell-crank, Deans Toped Off with a Rustler Body.

My dad owns a company, and they just did the design up on a computer and it automatically cut it all out.

It really does fly. I can go 20 mintues in muck, water, and 2 feet grass and the EVX nor titans are hot, barley warm. Its geared down alot, 17/87 (I think) I could gear up and achive around 40 MPH ( I have been told) but now i'm at about 24 MPH(estimate)
I also have a video of before I made my almaninum chassis. I need to get a hold of the guy who has it. I cleaned the chassis up, will have pictures in a few hours.4X4 Stampede With: Dual Permax 600's with EVX, 2400 Sanyo packs, Aluminum idlers, RPM Clawz, Imex Truck Pull tires, 645MG Servo, Big Bores, RR Pinon and Spur, Metal Camber's, Swami's Aluminum C-hubs, Hardened Steel Yokes, Ruslter Bell-crank, Deans Toped Off with a Rustler Body.

No. J-hawgs. Their basically the same type of tire ,except the G-hawg is for the Maxx series of tires, and they are much larger.

You've got them backwards. The J-Hawgs are the Maxx tires and the G-Hawgs are 2.2" tires.Originally posted by E-maxxin_man

They probably couldn't call them J-Hawgs because of the real 1:1 scale J-Hawgs. The Maxx J-Hawgs have "Maxx-Hawg" on the side of them instead of "J-Hawg" anyway.
