| Re: My take on a Telluride Trail Truck
Telly is still alive, well and getting the tires driven off of it I sold it to a fellow club member that REALLY had to have it. He did replace the inexpensive bec with a Castle 10a bec and the D772 servo came to life. It's got LOTS of steering power now. Here's a picture Telly in her new home (right beside the TF2 and SCX-10 that both used to be mine also, lol). |

That's great to see that's it's still getting used. Especially since it looks more like a proper trail explorer. I've got a Telluride at home that's been sitting in the box (unopened), and this is making me consider getting it out of the box. |

| Re: My take on a Telluride Trail Truck
Gotta agree with Silverado, great build thread and I like that it's still on the trails too! I've got one at the HTU I work for on Layaway az well as SCT beadlocks and soft Trenchers with the plans to do this to it.

I just can't believe it could win a crawling event against a group of axial models. You must really know how to set these up.

| Re: My take on a Telluride Trail Truck It wouldn't be a comp rig, more of a basher and GTG rig like my stock chassis WK is. I kinda see these as I do the Trailhawk version of the new Cherokee and the independantly sprung Land/Range Rover sport utilities. When fully modded within the relms of their stock basic suspensions compared to their solid axle predecessors, they won't be able to be taken as far, but are still pretty damned capable for what they are, especially when you consider the Cherokee is build on a compact Alfa-Romeo car platform.

Like I preach to the local newbies, set up a solid and capable vehicle then get out there and drive it. Even locally we have an attrition rate of about 30% because people don't take care of routing maintenance at home. Add in the guys that completely change their setup the night before and you've taken out half of the field. The rest of it is to build a truck that will run all day and know how to drive it. Now do you want to hear about our comp last weekend where I won with a Sawback against a field of SCX's and Wraith's (click the link) https://www.facebook.com/groups/486469971461567/ Last edited by John82601; 07-01-2014 at 11:33 AM. | |

| Re: My take on a Telluride Trail Truck
Hey guys, I was talking to a Traxxas Phone rep yesterday, sounds like a few of their guys who've made the Teluride a trail rig are using the diffs out of the brushed 4x4 Stampede! The Slash 4x4s, Stampede 4x4 VXL, 1/10 Rally VXL, and Telluride all use the Revo's 37t ring gear with a platform specific 13t pinion gear, while the brushed 4x4 Pede runs a 47t ring gear and 12t pinion with finer pitched gears. Every thing else is is the same as the rest of it's 4x4 platform mates too, so it's all a bolt on swap!

| Re: My take on a Telluride Trail Truck
It doesn't lock the diffs but it gives you much more flexibility in your pinion / spur combination by lowering the differential gear ratio from 2.84:1 (37/13) to 3.91:1 (47/12). Just like on full size trucks you lower the gear ratio in the axles to compensate for bigger tires to keep your engine in a happy rpm range, we can use the lower ratio to keep our motor in a happier rpm range. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...7&I=LXEAKG&P=K |

| Re: My take on a Telluride Trail Truck
Yup, If I did the math right, there's about a 7.5:1 difference in the final drive ratios with the stock pinion and spur gears. I put in an order for all the stock Stampede diff pieces and some 500k diff oil so once I get all the stuff paid for, I can start swapping parts.

| Re: My take on a Telluride Trail Truck i love this thread cause no one is dissing the telluride, to be honest because of this thread i bought mine and i have done some modding lol: part list: 2 sets of ST Racing Aluminum Rear Arms for Stampede 2 sets of heavy duty MIP drive shafts stampede 2x4 turn buckles ST Aluminum Front C-Hubs for Slash 4 x 4 4 GPM Racing #SLA057R Aluminum Adjustable Upper Arm ST Racing HD Aluminum Steering Bellcrank, front and read shock towers steering blocks and carriers for the Slash 4x4 siting on 2.8 proline trenchers gearing is all stock, but it has a 55t motor in it atm and a h2 body from proline it climbs up a 5 in curb no problem, next up mod is the diffs ether locking of spooling ones and some 1/8 tires for more clearince so all u telluride haters and go suck it! lol |

| Re: My take on a Telluride Trail Truck Telluride diffs are the same as the vxl stampede 4x4. So parts wise, you have built a vxl stampede 4x4 with a brushed power train. Summing it all up, your truck is actually an example of what people do that hate on tellurides. The OP is an example of those that truly do like them. John82601's truck was/is an awesome Telluride that I plan on mimicking when I get some extra time and cash. Yours doesn't even resemble one anymore.

I hate to bump this up but I dont agree that his truck is what people that hate tellurides do, he obviously likes the telluride and there isnt alot of alloy upgrades for it. I like seeing people do different things with their trucks that way we dont have 100 SCX's running every get together.

Yeah I have a pretty good idea what a stampede looks like, nice job sliding his in there btw. I'll drop it to keep from cluttering someone else's thread since you apparently know all.
