Traxxas Stampede RTR Electric R/C Monster Truck w/XL-5 ESC – 3605

Traxxas Stampede RTR Electric R/C Monster Truck w/XL-5 ESC – 3605 : The best-selling Stampede was the first high-performance monster truck and it’s legendary ruggedness has made the Stampede name synonymous for monster truck driving fun. Today, the Stampede has a hot new look, innovative new features, and of course, more power to boost the fun quotient even higher. Combine the increased horsepower with the tall, drive-over-anything ground clearance; ultra-tough suspension; and easy operation, Stampede will quickly become your favorite for all kinds of monster truck action. Stampede is still the first name in high-performance monster trucks. The Stampede is one monster truck that doesnt know when to quit! Crushing cars, catching big air, and popping wheelies have never been this much fun. There is no other truck available that offers Stampedes unique style, capability, and reputation for durability. When it comes to speed, the Titan 12-turn 550 modified motor and racing-style Magnum 272 transmission propel the Stampede to speeds over 30mph*. The integrated cooling fan in the Titan 12T pulls air through the motor keeping it cool. Airflow is routed through cooling channels molded into the motor plate. A cooler running motor delivers faster speeds, longer runtime, and extended motor life.

Traxxas Stampede RTR Electric R/C Monster Truck w/XL-5 ESC – 3605 Review

Truely awesome…within 2 minutes of getting it out of the box it was running…and studpily fast compared to similar priced Tamiyas I have had.
The more I have used and understood this car the more I am impressed with it (I read the manuals after using it 5 times). It has race, training and off-road modes. It has a clutch to reduce tie spin.
I bought 2 x 4300 mAH Nickel hydride batteries from Ebay for 56 USD including charger. These last about 30-40 minutes each!!!
What I love about this car:
-Cornering, acceleration and general handling were awesome.
-It’s ready made yet can be rebuilt
-Quality of components compared to other similar priced models
-Availability of parts
-Design- It’s simple, yet functional
Dislikes
- It has a steering wheel type radio unit- perhaps I am getting old. I prefer the lever radio units.
- Through my own stupidity I drive it too fast and keep hitting objects like sidewalks. The result is it rips apart the servo saver used in the steering. It takes 2 minutes to replace but in 40 runs I have now replaced this 3 USD piece 4 times. Durability could be improved here.
Bottom line- you’ll love this car if you want an off-roader.

Stampede VXL Brushless RTR Review

On the recommendation of some friends, I picked Stampede VXL Brushless RTR truck up to see for myself what it is capable of. When it arrived, I bought some LiPo batteries (5400 Mah 20C 3-cell 11.1V), charged them up, and plugged them in. WOW!! This thing is FAST! It’s electric, so I didn’t wake the neighbors. The brushless motor Traxxas puts in the Stampede VXL can handle up to 12.4 Volts of power, which makes for an exciting bash session. Wheelies? How high and how long? Stab the sky, and as long as you have room!! As tall as the Stampede is, however, makes it a bit "tippy" if cornered too fast, but that’s true of most RC Monster Trucks.
In the dirt, it’s fun to watch the tires balloon, as centrifugal force makes them "grow". With a light trigger finger, it’s easy enough to drive in the dirt throwing power slides and drifting the corners. On pavement, watch your speed and be easy on the brakes, as they are strong enough to send the truck flipping and cartwheeling. Reverse is also a challenge. I have an aftermarket Transmitter, and reverse is just as fast as forward! It’s cool to stab the brakes and turn, then punch forward!
After that first bash-a-thon, I bought some hop-ups for it, to see just how fast I could get it to go. How’s 67 MPH on a radar gun grab you? I had to upgrade to an 8000Mah 30C 3-cell 11.1V LiPo battery to get there, and they certainly aren’t cheap! This little truck is NOT recommended for beginners, as it has capabilities that far exceed the experience levels of most kids. Fortunately, Traxxas makes an XL-5 version of the Stampede that better fits the role of an RC car that kids can enjoy, without endangering the local dog or cat population!
One last note…Aftermarket parts for this truck are relatively inexpensive, compared to the T-Maxx and Revo models Traxxas makes. This makes them much easier to upgrade. My own Stampede doesn’t look like the picture above, anymore. It looks more like Tom Meentz’s "Maximum Destruction" now (yes, I watch "Monster Jam"!)!
