The Stampede 4x4 VX3 RC car model is a typical monster truck with high ground clearance and large wheels, suitable for driving even in difficult terrain, jumping and driving over obstacles! The new Stampede is not only improved, it is completely rebuilt for an even higher level of performance, durability and user comfort. Thanks to the new AC drive with 2-3 S LiPo power supply, the model reaches speeds of up to 80 km/h . It can even handle this speed with the factory pinion, which is an increase of approximately 25% compared to the previous drive. The drive components have improved cooling and the controller includes integrated telemetry support. The 4x4 drive and TSM electronic stability control contribute to excellent handling. The model is factory-equipped with Extreme Heavy Duty components for high durability.
The proven Stampede design has been retained, including a modular chassis design, cutting-edge independent suspension geometry and drivetrain. Front and rear differentials complement a center differential for perfect performance between the axles. For greater stability, the wheelbase is 295 mm long. New GTR composite shock absorbers improve handling and make setup easier. Overhangs in front of the wheels are absolutely minimal, providing high approach angles and perfect obstacle handling. The clipless body allows easy access to the model and battery replacement.
The controller with three driving modes guarantees fun for adults and children thanks to the possibility of limiting the power to 50%. Control is provided by the new TQi Sport 2.4 GHz RC kit. Of course, a wide range of tuning parts is available, including complete spare parts.
Main news
New VX3 drive
The new VX3 brushless motor can convert the energy of a 3S LiPo battery into extreme acceleration and speed. The VX3 speed controller has modern electronics, active fan cooling, easy one-button setup and telemetry support. The powerful Velineon V3200 motor is the ideal combination of high speed, power and efficiency. The fan and integrated cooling effectively keep the motor temperature low even during demanding driving.
New GTR shock absorbers
The new GTR composite shocks absorb impacts and ensure maximum wheel-to-surface contact. They hold over 70% more oil than standard Ultra Shocks, are X-ring sealed, and spring preload can be conveniently adjusted with a nut on the shock body.
Off-road tires
The new Talon MXT tires on the Traxxas Stampede 4X4 efficiently transfer power to the surface and provide exceptional traction and stability at high speeds. The tires are factory-mounted and mounted on durable monster truck-style wheels with removable center caps.
Extreme Heavy Duty Components
The factory-installed kit upgrades exposed parts of the model for high durability. Each part is made from the most durable materials Traxxas uses. Whether you're driving through rough terrain or jumping over jumps, the kit is designed to last.
Model construction
Durable chassis
The chassis of the model consists of a durable plastic tub, on which the front and rear axles are attached. The controller with the motor and servo are on one side of the chassis and the battery is on the other. This solution achieves ideal weight distribution and a low center of gravity, for perfect driving characteristics.
Modular construction
The modular design connects the front and rear chassis with the center chassis, into one solid platform. This advanced solution ideally distributes impact energy while allowing easy servicing of the model. Within a minute you have access to all important components, model settings and service maintenance.
Precise proportional control
The front wheel steering mechanism is implemented using the Dual-Bell-Crank system, which ensures precise operation of the linkages to the wheels and reduces the Bump steering effect. The steering has an integrated cam servo-saver that absorbs shocks and protects the servo against overload. For smoother operation, the sliding inserts can be replaced with 5x8x2.5 mm ball bearings (sold separately).
Battery bed
The innovative battery cradle securely holds the battery in place with a rotating partition, making battery replacement a matter of seconds and eliminating the need to loosen clips or straps.
Fixed rods
Durable one-piece suspension links always maintain correct geometry and require no adjustment. If you want to fine-tune the ride to your preference, adjustable links are available, sold separately.
Suspension elements
The weights and weight holders are reinforced with more material and have a stronger construction.
Suspension arms
The suspension arms maintain proper geometry throughout the entire range of motion. Made from Traxxas' toughest composite material, they provide just the right amount of flex and durability, even in cold weather.
Reinforced bumpers
Solid bumpers protect the model in the event of impacts. The specially designed front bumper provides a high approach angle, allowing it to overcome almost vertical obstacles.
Wheelie wheels
The model has brutal power, so it is equipped with rear support wheels that prevent the car from tipping over when you quickly apply the throttle, so you can enjoy driving on the rear wheels. The Wheelie holder is flexible to absorb any bumps, and also includes a practical handle for carrying the model.
Waterproof* construction
The model uses a number of patented solutions that reduce the risk of water ingress to the electronics, such as a sealed servo box and epoxy-encapsulated controller electronics. This gives you the freedom to go for a ride regardless of the weather.
4WD drivetrain
Inter-tooth clearance
A solid motor mounting system with pre-drilled holes according to the gear ratio eliminates the need to worry about setting the correct gear clearance. The gears always fit together precisely for maximum efficiency and long service life.
Robust gear teeth
The model's drivetrain is designed from the ground up to handle the high output of the AC motor, using gears with a gear modulus of 32DP for reliable operation.
Center shaft support
The one-piece center shaft is extra strong to transfer power between the front and rear axles, yet flexible enough to withstand impact damage. A bearing support in the center ensures that the drive shaft rotates smoothly even at high speeds.
Metal differentials
The Stampede features quality metal-geared differentials that are fully prepared for the power of AC drive. Precision X-ring seals allow the differentials to be tuned for specific operating conditions by changing the oil viscosity.
Center differential
The sealed center differential absorbs engine shocks and allows for fine-tuning of settings by changing the oil viscosity. It is factory-filled with thick oil, which reduces front axle lift under acceleration and ensures stable power transfer.
Drive shafts
Drive shafts with reinforced universal joints are designed for high engine power. The 6 mm output shafts exit into hexagonal wheel carriers.
Ball bearings
Large ball bearings are used throughout the drive system for smooth operation. The bearings are covered with plastic to keep dirt out. This extends the life of the model and simplifies maintenance.
Automatic rotation on wheels
This exclusive Traxxas patented feature is activated remotely via the transmitter. Automatically, by rapidly applying the throttle and braking, the model gradually swings and turns back onto its wheels.
The function is most effective when using a fully charged 3S LiPo battery.
Body and wheels
Stapleless bodywork
The patented clipless body clamping is easy, fast and the clips do not disturb the clean look of the model. The system, taken from the X-maxx model, uses a flip-up latch that secures the body at the rear. At the front, the body simply slides on.
Side reinforcements
Robust side NERF reinforcements protect the chassis and body from stones and other impacts. The special profile allows the body to be inserted for a safer and firmer fit.
Roof rails
Roof rails protect the bodywork from scratches when the model rolls over.
Electronics
Power steering
The model is controlled by a Traxxas 2057 digital servo. The servo is equipped with two ball bearings on the milled shaft and metal gears for maximum durability. The servo design is waterproof*.
V3200 brushless motor
The model is powered by a powerful Velineon V3200 brushless motor. The newly designed motor features intake ports and an internal cooling fan on the shaft that forces air through the center of the motor, reducing temperature and maintaining consistent performance. Additionally, the metal housing dissipates additional heat from the motor.
- High temperature sintered neodymium magnets
- 5mm output shaft
- High-speed ball bearings
- Integrated cooling fan
Electronic controller VX3
The waterproof* VX3 electronic brushless controller features advanced electronics and the ability to power 2-3S LiPo (NiMH batteries are not supported). It retains the simplicity of EZ-Set® one-button programming and three riding modes, including Training Mode. For a more natural feel, braking is more linear, with greater motion resolution and accuracy. The controller supports telemetry. A large aluminum heat sink dissipates heat. The epoxy-encased electronics are waterproof*.
VX3 controller modes
- Sport : Default mode, forward driving, braking and reverse driving are possible.
- Race : A mode suitable for racing. Forward and brake are possible; reverse is not available.
- Training : a mode suitable for children or novice riders. Forward driving is possible with a power limit of 50%, braking and reverse driving again with a power limit of 50%.
Cooling fans
To ensure that temperature protection does not slow you down even on long, demanding summer days, the controller and motor are equipped with powerful cooling fans.
TQi Sport receiver
The Traxxas TQi Sport 2.4 GHz three-channel receiver ensures safe control without interruptions. Pairing is easy with one button. The status is indicated by an LED. The receiver has integrated 3-axis MEMS sensors for position and movement sensing.
Traxxas TQi Sport Transmitter
The model is controlled by a Traxxas TQi Sport dual-channel proportional steering transmitter, operating in the 2.4 GHz band - interference-free operation. The transmitter is powered by only 4 AA batteries.
There is a rotary knob on the transmitter to trim the steering (so that the model drives straight when the steering wheel is in the center position). The battery status in the transmitter is indicated by an LED. With one button, you can set channel reverse, endpoints, TSM on/off and model type on the transmitter. Also included are:
- Precise control mechanics
- Foam steering wheel
- Removable grip for smaller hands
Traxxas Stability Management
Traxxas Stability Management (TSM) not only allows you to experience power, speed, acceleration and cornering at extreme speeds, but also ensures much easier steering and control on slippery surfaces such as dust, smooth concrete or even ice and snow.
The receiver contains a MEMS 3-axis gyroscope and accelerometer, which evaluate the model's movement 100 times per second and correct the model's direction by appropriate interventions in the front wheel steering. Traxxas TSM does not limit engine power - you have 100% control over engine power. The algorithms are tuned for each model separately. TSM can be turned on or off via the TQi Sport transmitter.
