Top 5 Traxxas 2wd Upgrades

[@JesseBMotors]

Links to all these parts are in the description.

[@nickygee6529]

what control angle in the servo

[@zkipa]

for the 2wd stampede in particular, i would suggest the kimbrough servo saver 124 large. its 7-8 dollars which makes it twice as much as the stock one, but it is significantly stronger with a longer lasting spring that will take big hits and not break your servo or come apart itself. the stock ones have a weak spring and the shell will warp or break easily. that would be my #1 upgrade for the stampede after getting a servo. i also prefer running the 3.5mm adjustable caster links and steering links for increased durability instead of the 3mm in the front or the stock plastic that breaks easily. also aluminum tie bar in the front to save your hinge pins from getting bent is only $10. also the stock shock towers go pretty easily, the rpm nitro rustler shock tower with rpm slash body mounts is the most durable options about $10/ea

[@scottfirman]

I took my Stampede out west and jumped it for a week while camping. I had to find a hobby shop because I bent 3 out of the 4 shocks. I never had a shock cap come off, but have bent plenty of them. Servos have NEVER had an issue with ANY of my Traxxas vehicles.

[@kbengt2000]

Jesse - thank you! two tips in and you solved so many beginner questions as to how do I make the Traxxas more durable for my kids! Really appreciate it!

[@JesseBMotors]

Glad to help 👍🏻

[@nighthawk3922]

Yeah the stub axle carriers were the first to break for me replaced them with the aluminum traxxas ones they have been great so far

[@JesseBMotors]

Seems to be the first thing to break for everyone lol. Thanks for watching 👍

I have all aluminum suspension nothing broke or bent yet but I try not to bash it too bad but it takes a decent beating

[@JesseBMotors]

[@Dragnssmoke]

I add rpm parts to all my cars before I put the first battery in them just cause I know stuff going to break and rpm parts are bullet proof and they have the best customer service ever just like traxxas!!!

[@JesseBMotors]

I really like RPM parts. Thanks for watching 👍🏻

[@shawnmanson1285]

We all like rom parts. They dont break. The aluminum bearing carriers are the way to go. One thing you missed on too 5 and i guess this is depending on how alhard you go but i upgraded my shocks. Not just the caps. I hit a jump on one front tire and bent a shock piston like it was nothing. Upgraded to traxxas titanium ones which come with aluminum caps.

[@roadrunnerorange]

Dont get the rpm castor blocks, stronger yes, but they flex and bend the hell out if the hinge pins.

[@raidersperez1278]

Ever since I bought my traxxas bandit 3 years ago and I use it here and there once or twice a week nothing has ever broken in it. Except the shocks got saggy but that’s because idk what I’m doing and the body has cracks because of the bashing. It’s the only traxxas vehicle of mine that’s lasted this long every other some thing always brakes and it takes longer for the parts to get here before some things else brakes.

[@JesseBMotors]

Any rc will brake if you bash it hard. That’s why you beef them up 👍

[@RCsBigAir]

Where was this video 5 years ago? ! I could have used this then!! =) I love that you did a video like this, and I agree with everything you said. These will help everybody who has a 2wd Traxxas video! Very good informative video.

[@mathewmorris5943]

Do you have a lift kit on this thing? Youve got some crazy ground clearance and id love to do that on mine. It also looks like you have an aftermarket chassis if im not mistaken

[@Charlie6969]

Keep in mind, the Bandit front arms and caster blocks are different from the Slash, Stampede and Rustler. They are a bit shorter and "beefier", the caster blocks also use a thicker hinge pin. Other than that, they are the same up front.

[@sniffles117]

Same setup. Show a fan install for the motor.

[@JesseBMotors]

I jump this a lot and it would probably kill a fan if I put one on it. Motor is in a bad location for it. Thanks for watching 👍🏁

[@the_goat_himself2541]

So i actully justbought a fan but if ur jump and doging it the i dont suggest one but it rly does help the motor from not overheating

[@CarminesRCTipsandTricks]

Another valuable Video!! I've tried to avoid buying Traxxas - because of how they caused the entire Crawler Market to RAISE their Prices - and when the TRX-4 first came out, it was nearly $500!! But because every kid in America bugged their Daddies until they bought one... They sold so many, the other Manufacturers said "Hey! We could be getting more for ours!!" So everybody's prices went UP😠😡😭 However.... I want to get a Basher!! Been a long time. Aarma and Redcat make some good ones... But I KNOW from experience that a Traxxas can REALLY take a BEATING!!! And for 30 years, RPM has made the strongest upgrades, period. So I guess that's on my list also! 😉 Carmine ✈🚂🚙

[@Dragnssmoke]

The green is a grave digger package traxxas offered they just a different color but rpm also offers green better parts but also in red black and orange no I don’t work for rpm just the best upgrade you can add to any rc car or truk

@@JesseBMotors got the servo and am having problems. Seems like the servo is deeper than the standard traxxas servo. As a result the RPM shock tower is preventing it from being installed. Did you encounter any such issues or have an RPM front shock tower?
