Would you prefer this truck over the other VXL versions of the Stampede, Rustler, E-Revo?

Hello, the advantage of the "Summit" in comparison to "Rustler" I see four wheel drive! It is easier and more accurate than driving the Rustler, at just decent acceleration and top speed. The "Stamped" I see more than crawler, this vehicle is not as to the speed. If your budged slightly larger, I would recommend the 1/8 "Summit", which has some more options and an impressive size. I hope I could help a little. Greetings from Switzerland.

To me the vxl is a little to fast to really enjoy, if you want super fast go with the vxl if you fast enough to really enjoy go with the summit. Hope this helps

Velineon hands down. If u are looking for speed like a lot of Rusties do then up the kv to 4600 or 5700. 3800 has more torque but less top end speed. I put the 3800 mamba max pro in my pede and she does 60mph easy.

I want to think that it would, but if you have a local hobby store maybe call them and see for sure or call traxxas and ask if rustler and stampede bodies interchange.

You can do trails, but the stampede doesn't crawl like a 55t crawler setup. It's a basher, so you will have to use a bit more throttle to get over obstacles. This rig is worth it dude. I can go anywhere my buddies axial can go, slow, or extremely dang fast.

I have it on my sons monster jam truck which is the same as a stampede so you should be good. you may have to modify the mounting holes a little, but it's worth it. it's a decent solid body

This motor is good for slash and stampede only the e maxx is a bigger motor

We only bought the truck and find it to be very well constructed and of high quality. So my thinking is if you are happy with the coupe you would also love the truck.

Yes, much more durable metal components are available for gearing, diffs, suspension, etc. even for this small truck, as are better, more powerful motors. Go to the Redcat Racing site. What's there is impressive and very reasonably priced. There are also a couple of customer video on YouTube demo'ing the results of such upgrades.

Buy a brushless slash and it will be less expensive that way. This one is a brushed truck

Great on tar, not so good on grass and honestly I had this model and had spent well over 500 by the time I was done with it because I turned it into a rustle vxl. Which may be a better choice. Or even a rustle xl5 would be better than a bandit because a lot is exposed on the bandit where on the rustier the body helps protect it a little better. Because of these cars being hobby grade I'll let it be known they will break but there are many parts out there to repair it.

not sure, but I know the stampede is smaller than the revo, I would have to see a pic of your clutch

The stampede and dlash share allot of parts! You could get a stampede front bumper so the light bar will mount in!

Yes. You will need the vxl esc to go with it though. I did this to my rustler xl5 and it rips now. Definitely a recommended upgrade.

Janis, I have both trucks and it's not worth it trying to convert into a 4x4 truck. Too many parts are different since one has the motor in the chassisand the 2wd has the motor in the rear. That is why I bought 2 different trucks. For what it's worth, I do not race the trucks so I like the 2 wd slashtruck for just bashing around. It's really a fun truck!

Overall we have had better results with the Honcho, however they are both good.The Honcho has nice lights, & a very good front bumper, with a metal skid plate attached. Put the lift kit on it, & the 2.2 ripsaw wheels from the Wraith & its a great truck !

You need the VXL speed control as well, a brushless motor will not run with the brushed speed control you have in your bandit.

This is a good motor/esc combo for the Rustler XL-5. Make sure you use high quality 2S lipo batteries
