I will be adding the 4x4 to my stable. I've always thought the 'Pede was a good looking truck.

It's up on there website now. Cats out of the bag and Traxxas has my cash on two new cars now. At least...

The only problem I can see with it is, how can you fit a MMM in it???

i will be getting a 4X4 STAMPEDE and maybe the lil summit

I have the 2WD drive Stampede VXL on 3s li-po and love it, but add 4x4 to that and then you have the perfect truck. I definitely will be getting the 4x4 Pede mainly because it looks awesome, and it is 4WD!

well the stampede 4x4 is not going to be as durable as the stampede 2wd so it madders what you want durability or to off road or you can get the best of both worlds by getting a slash 4x4 PE its got big bumpers and with a new body and some good tires you will have a durable and yet just as good at off roading as the stampede 4x4 and 2wd are

I wonder if any of the arms are interchangable with the slash 4x4 or 2wd stampede?

[1slash]

the slash 4x4 and stampede 4x4 have the same a-arms

[pavmentsurfer]

Really 1slash... less durable than a 4X4 slash because of the body and bumpers? The argument as to whats the most durable truck has now officially spilled over into the 4X4 realm.
Durability will be less than a 2X4 pede only because it has more moving parts. Its always a trade off. Simpler design and more durable/less maintenance but less capabilities... 2X4
More complicated design, more maintenance and perhaps a little less durable, but far more capable.... 4X4
The choice is clear and no one should be ridiculed for what they choose as long as theyre having fun.

I agree with pave bc It also has the new bashgaurds, and since evrybody put slash bumpers on the 2wd, the made the 4x4 come with a bumper, but it is up closer to the body so it dosent looks so weird. Traxxas you have hit a HOME RUN

[pavmentsurfer]

I wonder if an RPM slash 4X4 bumper will fit right on? Id do that for sure.

[1slash]

I'm not talking about the body just the bumpers i think its just going to be a bit less durable than the slash 4x4.

i love the stampede 4x4 I'm not mad at it at all.

im even going to be converting my slash 4x4 to it but will keep my big bumpers on hehe cuz i crash a lot.

[pavmentsurfer]

I get what your saying. I just consider bumpers a necessary purchase when buying a 1/10 vehicle. Keep in mind, pedes and rustys dont come with bumpers at all...

Stock bumper stubs..lol like an indication of what you could put there. The stock bumper does a great job of collecting the dust I don't want on my bench, maintenance free lol.
