We raced a co worker with my stampede and a few other vehicles and this brand rc ARRMA was killing everyone if he could grab traction. The 4wd was insane
2 3s batteries
I love this one same brand ARRMA

All depends on what kind of rim you need.
I haven't bought them in a long time, used to get them from an eBay seller "Suprasales".
But these look similar, however, these won't work for your Traxxas. the ones in the link below are meant for 1/8th scale buggies, with a 17MM hub.
Soooo I have been contemplating getting a 4WD Rustler, I have my 2WD and enjoy it but I feel like I missed the boat and cheaped out. What are opinions to spending the money and getting a 4WD? Is it really THAT much better? I like the idea of being able to actually hook up and get traction and tearing through grass and dirt or whatever a lot better.
When i started out with RC, stuff wasn't as fast, so 2wd was fun. With how fast gas and electric have become, AWD/4WD is almost needed. The last thing i bought was my sons Traxxas Stampede in 2wd, and probably the biggest mistake i made. The truck either flips over when trying to accelerate from slow speeds, or just spins the tires and wipes out really taking away the fun factor of driving. I had a lot of electric in both 2wd and awd, and the awd was the most enjoyable.
Thanks, Basically confirming what I was figuring. I am really tempted to get the 4WD, I just need to justify to myself that it's worth it since these things aren't cheap. and I just bought the 2WD Rustler a year ago and dumped a bunch of money into it, lol. I would probably end up giving my 2WD to my girlfriend or daughter or something.
Yeah, they can spiral out of control real fast. I had to pretty much upgrade everything on my son's Stampede, every time he took it out, something else would break. Of course somebody makes a nice billet upgraded part too lol.
I was gonna post a video like that, cause I know I'd seen one years ago. Its kind of funny that the little prop can get enough traction in the snow to move like that.
Well I don't keep a spreadsheet of exact figures, but upgrading the shocks, tires, and numerous replacement parts from breaking, etc, I bet its gotta be at least $250 on top of the initial cost of the car, battery charger etc. so over $600 for basically for a toy for me to fuck around with? Maybe not a lot for money for you big baller types though. LOL
Turns out it does work but it’s not a good idea the plastic is thin and very brittle in 20* weather and it doesn’t steer for shit, my m41 met a tree at like 10mph and I lost the front end, fortunately the trandsom was already messed up from a previous crash and I planned to get a new body for it anyway
It’s not alot but u could have had a 4x4. Did u get Lipo 3s batteries? I bet the rustler moves out with a Lipo
My stampede with a Lipo 3s and street tires I clocked her at 47 mph I think it had a few more mph in her but with it being 2wd it’s tough to get her not to pop the front tires up from a dig or even at 3/4 throttle
Me and my son drag raced them down the street several times both on 3s batterys the rustler pulls away from the stampede hard like “rc bus lengths”but we both have to ease into it, and I’m pretty sure it pulls away so hard because it’s lower and awd so I can hit full throttle faster and I can drive them better than him lol
Yeah I got the Lipo 3s, it does move out. I actually ended up gearing it down some with the pinion. It was out of control and I don't have the space to be able to enjoy that speed, that and the thing kept overheating. I found a pretty good sweet spot with it now though. But yeah you are right, I could have had the 4WD with what I have into it. That's my dilemma, hind sight is always 20/20
Don’t get it twisted a 4wd is also out of control and can easily run out of space to control it.
I’ve seen this brand run arrma they are nasty quick I’ll prob buy this. They sound mean and run on 6s battery
Aarma has come a long way. Much like Traxxas was, they used to be cheapo pot metal brittle plastic things.
The only problem with 1/8th and bigger cars is the cost of the batteries, and the lack of good charging systems for those massive batteries.
If you wanna charge two 4S batteries at a decent speed, at the same time, you need a 1000w+ power supply. Most chargers that include their own power supply are small wattage chargers.

These are my 2 RC trucks. Fully Modded Emaxx runs 6s, had for awhile. Just got the rustler 4x4 vxl will run 3s. Spring is going to be fun and can't come soon enough. I have several classic monster truck bodies for Emaxx, mainly 90s TNT Monster trucks racing on Tuff Trax.
