I'm a huge fan of rc vehicles specially those 4wd trucks, planning to buy one just for hobby, not for tunning, would recommend?

many of the parts are made of plastic you will need to replace with aluminum parts the differential gears, castor mounts, drive shafts and front steering hubs as they break or strip out. also you will want to get a larger mah battery if you want any kind of run time. trail running is ok but rock crawling with this unit is just going to keep breaking stuff. good luck finding parts.

you can get a 23 dollar tenagy charger from the amazon that charges my 3600 mah battery in about 1.5 hours i get about 30 mins run time on the stock stone 10 .the charger it comes with takes 7 hrs on the 1800 mah batts

You can get parts from nitrorcx and a few other places as well a lot of axial ax10 parts will fit, however some require a little modification

No not at all, if your not hard on the Traxxas XO-1 this hobby car will give you years of fun. Don't drive it in puddles of water or gravel or wet services dry pavement only, allow the fan to cool the electronics.

This combo will make an unbelievable difference in a rustler. That brushless motor will seem like its too fast at first. Excellent upgrade. Add a lipo and you're likely to destroy your rustler and or somebody's shin. Http://YouTube.com/artincbydb for lots of awesome rc vids.

Hi Tomas V. , Yes first let me tell you I have 8 Monster 1/10 Trucks. Max D. is one of my favorite one 's out of the 8. It's great on the track, jumps, flips, cartwheels & keeps on going no matter how hard I try to destroy it. It also is a great looking Monster Jam Truck, so I would definitely recommend Max D for your money it's worth it (:

Yes, if you have 4 and the correct setup. I would just get a hubsan they are the most fun per dollar.

I can't tell you if the factory esc will take it but I put a castle creations sct combo in mine for 100 bucks and the truck handles it very well.I bought this truck just to put brushless in because of the all steel gears It def. needs a wheelie bar tho. I am trying to put a bigger pinion on it and the 48p pinions I have don't fit right, so I found Redcat racing pinions online, haven't tried them yet. I love this truck !! Have Fun !!

This is a great RC Tractor that drives at scale speeds more like a sports car... although it can be used inside if you have a larger room with less fragile items, it is better suited to outdoor use. To be clear, it does not crawl - it moves pretty fast. Well made and very durable, as my youngest son is very adept at putting his toys through the paces.

Traxxas makes many great RC cars, and this is one of them. Check YouTube, it is water resistant but not waterproof. There are some cool videos about how water resistant they are. I think the box said it went up to 32 mph. My 8 and 10-year-old can control it pretty easily, but it is pretty stinking fast. The best part is if/when they break something, you can buy replacement parts for pretty cheap. You can also make upgrades because there are so many aftermarket parts out there. This is not an RC car that you would buy from a toy store. This is a hobby grade RC car. It is worth the money!!! Highly recommend.

Absolutely. In fact I don't know of anyone who did not build this boat for RC. Dumas also sells a motor and running hardware set just for this boat. But there are many options out there depending on what you want to do... (go fast or go scale)... She looks NICE out on the lake... GREAT choice for RC!

When I first got into rc trucks, I started out with a Redcat Racing Volcano EPX. They run around $200.00. Traxxas is the best though, therefore you might want to get a Traxxas Stampede. I have one and I love it. Think I got mine Amazon for around $235.00 with free freight. Hope this helps. Trust me, if you go with the Stampede, you won't never want any other brand.

No, it's a plastic scale model, it comes in like 100+ pieces, unpainted, and you have to glue each individual piece together, then paint the vehicle and when it is assembled, it is not a toy or anything like that, it just sits on the shelf, and can and will look very realistic, but the only "playing" you can do with it is assembling it, which can be difficult but very rewarding, and will help people understand more about the mechanics of a vehicle. If you are looking for an RC snow plow, I would look into finding an assembled Tamiya CC-01 Blazer with a Snow-Plow attachment, but that's hobby-grade and will cost a few hundred dollars. If you're looking to get a R/C (remote-control )gift, or for yourself, or whatever you need, you can give me a price range and age range for who it is for, I'm very familiar with the R/C scene and am a hobbyist myself, so I can help you find the right gift at the right price if you're unsure what to buy.

I've actually had pretty good luck with mine. This is the second one I've owned. I ran the first one over while working on the truck so I can't say anything bad about it. I've owned the second one for two years now and get regular use out of it. Wheels are great and the tool holders are pretty nice as well. I wouldn't hesitate to buy the third after I run number two over!

These are very fast. Going over a bump our root at full speed will result in the rc going airborne. You may have some problems hitting trees resulting in parts breaking. They are highly repairable similar to what you would but at a hobby store. I have modified one of mine after things falling off.

Yes. Buy the CoPilot. It is all I ever use to steer when trolling. Works great!

Both my grandsons have this truck and they have had hours and hours of fun with them!! I would certainly recommend this truck?

It depends, do you have a 2wd or 4wd Stampede. I wouldnt reccomend using a 6900kv motor in a 4wd stampede, you may over work the motor and over heat and burn it out. You may be able to get away with using it in a 2wd Stampede if you play around with the gearing and get the motor running cooler. If you are looking for over all speed. Look into getting a 1/8 set up, you will be much happier.

I wouldn't use it for off-roading. The tires are too narrow for that use and the rear shifter is only a few inches above the bottom of the tire. It's reasonable on gravel, but watch out for loose patches or you could go flying (don't ride on a freshly grated road).
