Ultimate Traxxas LCG Stampede build

I spent the winter building my favorite Traxxas 2WD truck, an LCG Stampede. In this video I go over the parts I used and have a few minutes of running footage at the end.

I know I'm replying to an old video but I used this to confirm my thoughts on swapping a Stampede body onto a Rustler. The other thing to mention, I run a square setup too (same offsets at all four) by simply swapping the stock rear arms for Slash ones. Yes, that protrak kit is "better" and also you can get wider front arms from RPM, but sometimes IMO the simplest answer is best. Slash rear arms give some toe-in out back to help with traction under throttle and with front offset wheels at all four it's the same width as stock. Who doesn't have some Slash arms in their parts pile? Haha. I always looked at the Stampede as a HCG Rustler. I have two of them, one is a Bigfoot, the other is a Grave Digger. I'm fine leaving them as HCGs.

Man that Rustler 😉 took some hits. Drives sweet. Totally agree with the statement "It's the Stampede Traxxas should've made." Hopefully they're listening. 👍

[@ShenRC]

😁👍way better with the flat chassis... on my stampedes I used to mount the battery under the chassis in between the fake roll cage things and it handled way better..also used a shock tower part and put it on the rear of the chassis and it was a simple quick way to extend it like 1" longer....O the good old days!

[@EBthere]

This is really a great build and video that I'm sure to watch many times.

[@RazorRC]

EBthere glad you enjoyed it!

[@RichD]

Frankentruck :) It's the least Traxxas Stampede around! I like it, solid build sir. Thanks for sharing!

[@STEVOD313]

I have the 2wd bigfoot stampede n always heard the 4x4 stampedes were suppose to be a blast, but im glad ur back on the monster truck kick, im really getting into solid axle monster trucks

[@STEVOD313]

I got a vxl rustler 2wd that just sits, if I change it up a bit like this I might use it more lol

[@RazorRC]

Nice, what are some of the solid axle monster trucks?

[@cwatson42785]

@@RazorRC Hey razor Cen Racing recently came out with the HL150 and B50 solid axle monster trucks. Also check out the MST MTX1 I believe its called. It's a brushless solid axle MT. And I believe Stevo was talking about the redcat ground pounder which I know he owns. But I have that cen HL150 on my radar! Looks pretty cool and different!

[@chrisricotta7063]

i had at one time a traxxas slash 4x4 and did all the up greads . had on it mip , proline , rpm , lcg . but now i have a xmaxx and brings all the filling back again why i love rc car !!

[@RazorRC]

RC cars are great!

[@adameightyeight718]

I’ve just picked up a second hand Bigfoot. Went on KZbin and found this which resonates with me. I like to modify and push my cars to their best potential. So I thought the 2wd stampede would be a cool little project, and it was cheap😊 Just ordered the protrak kit 👍

[@graysons3471]

Where did you order from? Did you get the full kit or pieces

[@adameightyeight718]

@@graysons3471 I live in the uk, so I had to really search for a full kit. I luckily found one online :) Sorry, probably does't help you.

[@ma19921992]

This is sick, now i wanna build one up

[@NitroStarGT]

Enjoyed the build review and bash. Sweet spot there too! I like stadium trucks so I really like this truck!

[@robertabrams91]

Good job Razor ... great build 🤙

[@RazorRC]

thanks!

[@toddbertram6556]

Seems more like a modified rustler

[@RobertNES816]

That's all it really is lol. It's just a Rustler with Stampede body mounts lol.

[@shakenbake2k479]

Right?

[@GreatLakesRC]

That's a pretty fancy Slash! 👍

[@RazorRC]

Great Lakes RC 🤣😀👍

[@ScottzillaRC]

Wow thats a lot of upgrades 👍

[@vibe808]

Awesome frankentruck. Super durable 🤙

[@camrowdrone6497]

Love this,lots of power 👍🏻

[@jamesmoore7200]

Great build man! I have a Rustler with Stampede size tires that I love to bash around with. The ultimate 1/10th scale monster truck to me was the Proline Pro MT 2wd, I have one that I have never ran because its discontinued and I cant get certain parts anymore.

[@wtfdudekk]

Yeah a Rustler with pro-trac suspension, 2,8'' wheels and a pickup body, that's basicly the discontinued Pro-Line Pro-MT, with the Pro-Line body posts its a perfect fit for the Pro-MT Sentinel body. www.redrc.net/2014/11/pro-line-pro-mt-110th-2wd-monster-truck-kit/ Besides from the rear axles and axle carriers all the parts are interchangeable, but the rear traxxas axles and axle carriers fit . I wouldn't call it a stampede, but it is a fun rig, I have one myself, will post video hopefully before winter. Thanks for posting

[@novocaine009]

That's dope. I wanna put that in my 2wd slash

[@Lord_Pistachio_Nut]

That's fantastic even 5 years later 😂😂 I know what I'm doing to my stampede next 😂😂 dust her off first

[@LawrenceTimme]

My favourite handling truck is the team magic e5 😁

[@zacharymurdock6721]

Ive got a 2wd Stampede VXL and it handles a heck of a lot better with the rpm wide upgrade, some decent shocks, and some good tires.

[@squarebody4546]

Great video, thanks for sharing. Looks closer to a Rustler. Did you give any thought to using the LCG Slash chassis? ~2.5" longer than Stampede wheelbase. Body fitment could be an issue. I'm considering converting my 2wd Stampede to LCG Slash, but I prefer my Arrma models so I'm torn on spending the money...

[@RC1oNeTV]

What a interesting video my friend~!!👍👍👍

[@rcpatapouf]

So cool bro that's fantastic

[@jumpstartrc1571]

love it

[@randylee1047]

Nice build tho 4 sure. I plan to build my self amd my son stampede hopefully soon

[@RobertNES816]

I was going to buy a Rustler roller off eBay and build something like this. But after it's all said and done it came out to over $400 haha. That's not even with upgrades lol. It's cheaper to buy a new Stampede VXL and then buy the Rustler chassis plate, top plate and steering rack. Way cheaper.

[@Ophychius]

Are there any Stampede parts on it? I came here having a stempede and looking to make it more stable. Solution seems to be replace everything 🤣

[@sladewyss9860]

Just the chassis and some steering stuff other then that pretty much the same

[@sladewyss9860]

Check out the long arms from rpm

[@foxhoundra64fr]

Could you link the suspension stuff? I am trying to convert my stock xl5 stampede with the blue LCG chassis. What all would I need?

[@RC_guy667]

If i get the rustler chassis, does everything on the current stampede just bolt right up? Or do I need to order different parts to make it all fit?? Awesome build btw

[@josephrivera8463]

I take it you are in the Bay Area? Where’s that cool park at ?

[@randylee1047]

U should check out chuckworks rc he makes all kinds of traxxas custom chassis. 1 being a mid motor stampede chassis. And also an extended mid motor pede chassis

[@danielnunez5482]

I got a grave digger Stamp2de when I was a little kid and enjoyed it, time passed and I rediscovered it in the garage. Put a brushless system in it and swapped out some parts to make it Bigfoot themed. I am kind of getting sick of constantly doing wheelies and flipping tho (lol) Is it possible to do what you did but keeping it simpler? I would only need the rustler chassis, servo linkages/mount, top plate and bottom chassis bars right? You are the first person I have seen that tried to improve a 2 wheel drive pede. How long did those pin tires last? I am contemplating

[@sdy5001]

Man oh man, that's the nicest Stampede around #YeaBecauseItDoesntHaveOneStampedePartOnIt #OhTraxxas. Granted, Traxxas does have the best business model going: they sell millions of garbage cars to make their margins and that allows them to make their pretty solid select few like the UDR or the summit, which are two of my all time favorite rc's, albeit from my least favorite rc company. Anywayyyysss, I meant to ask on your losi vid, what are you filming with (what kind of camera and are you using a gimbal?) Love the channel, Brother.

[@rcjoe406]

Was thinking about making a monster slash 4x4 with 3.8 tires would the gears hold up?

[@bjmcfarland1]

Can you give me a list of parts; because i have a stampede 2wd and agree with you about how it runs and wish i wold have gotten something differant like a rustler

[@linzitazim]

Hi, I have the chance to get same electronics, was there any problems fitting? Mounting holes etc the same as titan 12t? Is it easy to get gears for 5mm shaft, I'm sure traxass rustler is 3.1mm? Thanks

[@corwinthomas1307]

I like it but i dont classify it as a stampede this is just an upgraded rustler with wider arms and a monster truck body and tires. None the less cool build.

[@jn-ti6oj]

I have proline power strokes on my rustler could I do this with those shocks?

[@anthonyaviles8665]

what size are the team losi shocks and what you recommend size shocks for the tlr shocks for a race slash 4x4

[@liambaerman2322]

Is the base car the 2wd stampede and if so where did you get the chassis

[@rcaddict7638]

It’s more of a rustler

[@maxxdavidson7795]

can you do stampede 4x4 conversion to truggy

[@RazorRC]

Maxx Davidson a rustler 4x4 is basically a truggy conversion

[@danielbaugher1798]

urc has a pretty good video on that

[@maxxdavidson7795]

@@danielbaugher1798 yeah ive watched it plenty of times but i dont know if it would be competitive anymore.

[@danielbaugher1798]

Ya now that they have the 4x4 rustler chassis that would help some with handling also on mine I ran pro lines wide arms and it actually did pretty good on a track

[@stevenrc3940]

How fast do you think it will go

[@gcode94]

That is a Rustler with bigger than stock 2.8 monster wheels/tires and different body post. All other parts are the commonly used Rustler/Bandit/2wd Stampede/2wd Slash upgrades. It's not a "Lcg Stampede" if you're not using a Stampede chassis. That's a highly modded Rustler.

[@user-dz2jv4in5z]

Did you even listen to what he said?

[@dominicnocera7657]

So how is this a Stampede? “I really got turned off on monster trucks so I built a rustler...I mean stampede”

[@duder280z]

pretty cool, but it's not a Stampede. LOL

[@duder280z]

I did very similar by just putting Stampede wheels and tires on my VXL Rustler...

[@LawrenceTimme]

It's not even a monster truck.its just a modified rustler with a truck shell on it

[@shaunmicci9735]

It's not a stampede if you have a rustler chassis!!! You have a rustler w/stampede parts and not even that many to begin with. It's a Frankentruck!

[@6fiddy309]

Sorry not a stampede...😮 Rustler or bandit with big wheels..
