Would these wheels mount on the Stampede? I want a set of them wheels for mine. I am thinking about buying a Rustler to though. I like them.

Rustler/Stampede/Bandit all use 12mm hex wheels.

the only prob will be with the front wheels, when turning those wheels will hit, the offset is not right for the pede....

I didn't realize this was a pissing contest?!? 40mph with 2S lipo is plenty fast enough for everyday bashing for me, thanks. And if you really want to go there with the looks, then here's what it looks like now...better looking than yours IMO:

LOL, didn't you see the smiley in my post? No feelings hurt here.

Besides, my Panther paddles are better than your Panther paddles cause mine are on chrome wheels, so nah!

I haven't put a wheelie bar on mine, but for the speeds he ran on 3S, he'd definitely need it. I have problems with mine on 2S if I'm not careful with the throttle finger...see the 44s mark in this vid:

I will then...

My VXL Bandit will do all of 70 but you cannot keep control due to the small tires...a set of paddles and razors are going on it for Myrtle this year.

My VXL Ruster when done will top that...

My BL Pig of a Savage goes over 40 mph...clocked at something like 56mph...

Start tuning that VXL...the are for speed...and remember the throttle goes both ways but knowing that you can hit those speeds is the best part...

Done hurting feelings...everyone hug

dude I've watched that vid a few times did'nt realize it was you...LOL...

and as for speed well I'm running my VXL on 8 cells and no it's not lipo but on those 8 cells it's damn fast, I'd say its into the 50+ mph range.....
