stampede killer 0 Posted June 9, 2010 action pics hard take off limitations of 2wd video (short and idk why its black and white) let me know what you think Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HomerJHandley 6 Posted June 10, 2010 Looks like you need stiffer springs on the rear Not convinced on the looks of this model (not yours specifically, just the model release in general), i always think monster trucks should have oversized shocks that go up into the body and look slightly OTT and big, this just looks like a generic on-road chassis with slightly bigger wheels and taller body mounts! oh and savour the shiny body, it wont last long Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kaiser 8 Posted June 15, 2010 hey i like your truck! i almost bought one last year but instead i picked up an old blackfoot for a "resto-custom" build. this year i almost bought a twin det / dual hunter, like your bf-extreme but dual motor, i picked up a super clod instead. i swear one of these days one of those trucks (bf-extreme or twin det) will make into "my garage" lol. you are right about the maintenance on brushed motors, too much work. i got into brushless / lipo last year and love it.

DIFFLOCK 0 Posted June 15, 2010 The BX is quite softly sprung on standard Tamiya CVA (black) shocks. The kit friction dampers didn't have enough travel for my liking (or any oil!). I've fitted double springs to the rear dampers on my BX. Works well and I can live with the squat. Actually the soft supsension helps it track well off road IMHO. Anyway back to your BX stampede killer. Great shade of blue, but I'm afraid I don't like that bodyshell with those wheels, sorry. I prefer the original. (I much prefer the Baja 5b, I really want one of those, but this is a Tamiya forum ) Diff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
glassback 1 Posted June 16, 2010 I like your truck! My 10yr old son is desperate for his birthday to come round so he can have one (he has to wait til october!!) I am going to order it soon though so I can sniff the new tyres and just generally admire it in its box before I build it with my lad and he sets about destroying it!!. It will be our first build together and I am looking forward to it just as much as he is! I will also get some bearings for it and a sport tuned motor (or a dirt tuned...... anyone have any thoughts on this?) I think it will be a great truck to own (well for my son to own ) Rich Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wolfdogstinkus 1893 Posted June 18, 2010 very slow forum, or no one likes my truck enough to comment Sorry, that's my fault, my keyboard was covered in drool after checking your pics, so I couldn't reply. What wheels and shell is that you have?, sorry didn't read it all, only drool over pics normally. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
berman 5315 Posted June 18, 2010 I'm not a big fan of the shell or wheels (tyres look nice and chunky though) but that's beside the point. Great pics and looks like you are having buckets of fun and that's the main thing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
