    Cool

    The rear tires are supposed to be like that on the nitro $tampede in order to help keep the truck from spinning in circles under heavy throttle. Basically for control purposes.However if you would like to straighten them out, you can, all you need is Traxxas part #2797 (0-degree suspension mounts)Have fun Drive hard.

    I got those 0 degree suspencion mounts and it takes out alot of degrees out of the toe in but you still have alot.but good thing is when you have that lesser amount of toe in when you make tooo tight of a turn instead of fliping over it goes out into a spin,hey youve got to admit when it is far away i would rather just puch the throttle and go on again instead of going after it and turning it back over right side up.

    I just recently purchased the nitro stampede used for 200.00 from a local hobby shop.I asked them about the tow-in on the rear tires and they also said that it would not be able to stear or handle very well if I tried to straighten them out.But,it seems to me that it would handle better at high speeds if it didn't have to fight against the back tires all the time.My truck seems to wobble alot especially at top speed.Bearings instead of bushings seemed to help a little but not alot.Can I straighten them and get better handling?
