My Final Thoughts
The Traxxas Stampede 2WD Brushless RC Truck has its strong points. Is it without its downsides ?
Definitely not ! With its brushless power plant it is capable of delivering some serious power and speed with the proper battery and gear setup. TSM ( Traxxas Stability Management) assists with the handling.
To achieve the speeds you may desire, a battery upgrade will more than likely need to be made.
