My beloved Stampede lives again

[ZED32]

This was my first rc car. I drove the wheels off of it (literally, once) for years. It got pretty messed up and I parked it in the closet back in 2020. The esc felt like it was on it's way out, the bushings and bushing carriers were insanely bad, and the reciever began glitching resulting in the car getting stuck at wide open throttle until it would smash violently into a curb. The other day I was feeling nostalgic (for like 4 years ago) and decided to throw some spare parts at it. It got new bearing carriers, full ball bearings, new front axles, and new aluminum (chinese knock off) drive shafts. I replaced the esc and reciever with the usual spare 1060 and radiolink combo. (I'll probably switch back to tqi in the future) All my 8.4v 7 cell batteries are dead, so I had to run it on a 7.2v for now. But, it can still pull a good wheelie, and has got plenty of get up for such a tired old truck! I also may or may not have purchased mip cvds, as well as a plethora of rpm parts (green of course) to build it into the best stampede I could ever hope for.

Those are great fun to drive, and spares are easily available, have fun!
