You should do more unboxing videos. Love your inputs, first thoughts and knowledge.

I put the 3S system, a 13 tooth pinion , GTR shocks, aluminum drive line, and replaced the slipper clutch with the aluminum differential. Got the spiral cuts gears coming next week. Quite a rig now.

That’s sounds awesome, we’re also doing GTR shocks, 540XL Motor (if it fits), RPM arms, and metal toe links. You truck sounds loaded

I was told the 540 will fit as it’s the same chassis. I did the aluminum links along with other bling as well. I don’t want to even begin to add up the receipts. Although that hasn’t stopped me yet 😂

Very nice truck! Of all BL-2s vehicles this is The One

After a loooot of years in the hobby, I don't care about going faster. A long time ago I started slowing down my cars and trucks and has enjoyed them more than ever. For some reason this newer generation of RC'ers only care about going faster, jump higher, and spend more money in repairs. That only benefits the RC companoes, and they know it

I couldn’t agree more, a lot of these cars don’t need upgrades as long as you’re not putting full power down. Rustler runs great on 2S and would last a long time. Until you put the 3s in then durability goes out the window. We do it for you guys but I agree.

Take the talons off the 2 wheel drive stampede and put them on your four by four... About an 80 gram difference per tire...😳... I have a nice track at home. And it turned my stampede into an absolute weapon... Gives it a nice performance increase... Really enjoy your channel keep up the good work...Just bought a max because of you guys. But haven't delved into it much yet, just got it...👍👍

We might try that, we’ve been steering away from Sledgehammer tires to try other brands. But Traxxas started belting their Sledgehammers now.

Ol 20 yr tx is uncalled for. A preview of its top speed ? We will soon find out . Its nice , ill guess 32 mph 😐 ?

I’m shocked traxxas didn’t have the BANDIT BL2s yet

Basically a new low-powered hoss I'm not a huge fan of the system that's in it the durability seems to be on spot

Hoss comes with a Maxx motor, 3s esc, adjustable links, 100% metal gears, center diff i think, TSM, etc, etc, all for only $100 more.

the hoss is discontinued as it didnt sell well and this stampede replaces the hoss as people also liked the name better

They do make HD arms for the / stampede rustler and hoss

We usually go for the RPM, haven’t had any issues after upgrading

They should’ve just called it the Imposter. I have two hoss’s, it seems kind of funny that stock they come with a 3S and can go 41 mph. You would think if you’re going to make an upgrade you would at least keep it the same as what you were upgrading. Still Looks like a great truck, but with less power like it’s a hoss on training board….

Almost like this is $100 cheaper and only meant to be a titan 12t replacement to do off with brushed motors and comes with beefed up parts. So weird huh.

The BL-2s make a lot of sense, very durable but doesn’t have the speed (great for those new to the hobby). The HOSS has the speed but not the durability. Traxxas should have given the HOSS better shocks, and the Extreme HD kit.
