Thanks

Oh and I would like to build my own nitro truck/monster truck, is this a smart idea, or would there be too much knowledge needed or would it be over my head.

Thanks in advance

[waldo_74820]

well it is a few miles an hour faster than the t-maxx but the t-maxx is fourwheel drive..It might be a pretty big leap to build one yourself but it just depends if you are pretty mechanically inclined..But you won't be able to build a stampede or t-maxx because traxxas only sells them ready to run..if you want to build them you will have to go to another brand...hope this helps

N.stampedeJustin, I don't think that you have a very good sense of speed at all. No pede will do 40-45 stock. And you're not going to know for sure unless u have a radar gun

[stampede16]

40-45 is way too fast for a stock pede.

[waldo_74820]

mine wouldn't go that fast if I ran it full throttle down a manhole...

[2 Muddy Flying Trucks]

actually it does about 35 stock, I remember seeing that on the website, but mine does about 42 hopped up

Oh and you can get the stop speed w/o a radar gun, all you have to do is set up a speed trap

I want to buy one and cant seem to find the top speed of this model anywhere on the net. Can anyone give me a number?

[Yippy_Skippy]

No way a stock stampede can do 40-45 mph. Try about 30-33 mph

------------------
2 MUCH POWER?? NO SUCH THING !!!!

[klumsy01]

i got my nitro pede up to about 37 mph stock today while jumping park benches on a skate ramp

[xtremetoyz17]

nitro rustler is a faster truck but isnt good for off-road.

my stock pede beat a stock rustler in a staright away race.

So where would you guys point me to get a good truck kit that will be reasonably priced and will allow me to upgrade and change things as needed, until I reach the "perfect" setup.

[waldo_74820]

If you want to do upgrades I would say get a t-maxx..It costs a little more to start out but there are way more upgrades for it than the pede..Don't get me wrong the pede is a good truck and there are some upgrades just not as many as the T...On the other hand the T has more moving parts..four wheel drive, two speed tranny the means more stuff to go wrong.....I have a pede and I am happy with it...here is a pic.

35mph i read on the old traxxas site in the faq.

[The Pitbull of r\c trucks]

I think mine does about 37-40 tops, but I have a 20 tooth bell on it. I know they don't go 30-33 because that's the tmaxx's top speed and I know for sure they don't do no 45mhp. I got my carb. set where it doesn't bog down at top speed, and smokes a lot, but still runs top notch!

[nitro stampede]

the t-maxx goes 29,according to RCCA.the
stampede will go about 31-33.and a rustler will go 35-38.they all look like there going 45-50 BUT they are NOT.if you put a higher
tooth clutch bell like "the pitbull of r/c trucks" said,then you will be going alot faster,but with less accelaration.
BYE have a good day

P>S>IM NOT SAYING A HOPPED UP ONE WONT GO 45
