Well, my Stampede came in today, so I ripped it apart and looked at it for a while. I ended up grinding the tranny down enough to not have to widen the chassis. I was also abl to get the gd600 in there too! I also went on and hacked 1" off of the bottom. I am also making good use of the hacked up Stampede body! Now am am waiting for the Yokes to come in so that I can put the shafts in and run it. NO MORE SLIPPING BELT!! YAY!!!

Here are the pics...

looks like a performer. great job hacking the stock chassis.

cant wait to see a vid of it.

JakeTheAlligatorMan · 03-08-2005, 10:06 PM

I like it, keeping it narrow was a good idea for sure... And way to get the spur gear in there like it was meant for it!

rbgerrish · 03-08-2005, 10:25 PM

Cool truck- I dig the hacked up body!

Just a thought though- I dont think you'll need the GD600 in there. We've found that standard low stampede gearing offers plenty of crawl with plenty of wheelspeed. Unless, of course, you aiming for super low gearing, then by all means go for it!

Well, I'm gonna give the gd600 a try. I am running a 27 turn motor, so I have lots of motor RPM. The only other thing that I want to do is make some new upper axle mounts and triangulate the upper links on the axle side. This will also allow me to get the upper links a little more horizontal.

very nice job. after my tlt off of ebay get here, i'll take apart my stampede and attempt the same thing. great work.

gobble_doc · 03-09-2005, 11:04 PM

this may sound dumb

i know of the stampede like people using the tranny etc

but i never knew they were live axle or have you put live axles in
my question is does the stampede fit the same specs as the jugg and txt
eg they are live axle and shaft driven

any help would be great

or have i gotten the wrong idea

Well, I got it running last night, but I haven't had the chance to take it out to a crawl spot yet. I did go on and lower it a little bit. I am right at having 3" of center ground clearance now. If I get time, I am gonna run it through its paces tonight.

the stampede is a 2wd truck with independent supsension. nothing like a jugg or txt. the OP's pictures are of a TLT with a stampede tranny and body, nothing else stampede is in there.

gravedigger09 · 03-10-2005, 09:22 AM

Man that thing is nice. Is that a tlt chassis? I got a stampede for Christmas and was thinking of doing something like.

thefordmccord · 03-13-2005, 06:28 AM

Here are some new pics. The parts for the shafts came in, and I have all of the electronics installed. I am goning to try to take it to a rock pile today. I wish I had a video cam...

ILoveRCRockCrawlin · 03-13-2005, 05:53 PM

ILoveRCRockCrawlin · 03-13-2005, 07:59 PM

nevermind

nd4spdbh · 03-14-2005, 06:25 PM

Man that is a NICE truck. Nicely set up. So let me get this straight u didnt have to widen the chassis. Right. Also what are the turnbuckles (upper and lower) that you are using? Plan on doing the same thing you did with my TLT. That thing is a bute. Also how did u lock the diff in the stampede tranny?

Yep. I was able to shave the tranny down enough to not have to widen the chassis. I am using the 96mm T-Maxx Turnbuckles for my lower links and the 108mm T-Maxx Turnbuckles for my upper links. I locked the stampede dif with JB KWIK. It is the same as JB Weld, but it sets up quicker.
