    I went to the LHS with my broken from the factory Stampede and they actually gave me a BRAND NEW ESC as a loaner until I get a new from Traxxas. Traxxas sent me a new motor (I have not gotten it yet) but today we found out it was the ESC. I was a VERY sad panda. Now I have to send in my old ESC and wait for Traxxas to process it and send me a new one back =( At least the LHS saved the day today!

    WOOT! Just got back from Poenisch Park and had a BLAST! I drove it all around the streets on the way there. I ran it up and down the curb. I ran it an open lot that was all nice short grass. I drove it across the street and all over the little small park. I ran it all over the place on the paving, the grass, the sidewalk. Then... I went down the hill... up the hill, through the shells, up the hill, down the hill, around the storm drain, up the hill, down the hill, into the storm drain, took of the ESC fan oops... up the hill, into the shells, rinse and repeat!

    Wow, what a blast! Would have been a lot more fun if it was not dark and I had someone with me... But super fun none the less! I am really going to enjoy this! Only ran one of 2s's out so... Gonna have a TON of fun tomorrow!

    Tried mine for the first time with the 2400kv castle with 19/54 gearing. Holy crap! Even just on 2s it was awesome. Can't wait to try it with 3&4s!! I ran it earlier with 13/50 gearing and wow did the new gearing combo wake it up.

    From where? I was thinking about ordering one directly from Pro-Line.

    Took mine over to the parks again. I put up a little video of my son running my truck up and down that hill I was talking about before. Went to the big park and had a couple with a dog talking to us for a while. Their dog really liked to chase my truck. He got a good work out.

    Dyed the chassis with black dye so now it's a really dark midnight blue. Installed my big bore shocks. I even got my new soon to be night time body once it is fitted with led's. Too bad I can't run it until I get my motor and ESC back from Traxxas.

    Installed my new ESC and did some speed runs on 3s 11/52 gearing in the road in front of my house. One was cut short by a mailbox post to my left front a-arm. Bent the screw holding the guard on. Straightened the screw temporarily until I get some more screws and was on my way. Also changed the shock oil in my big bores to 45 in front and 40 in rear.
