Hey I am hoping I could get a little help from some one. I have been slowly rebuilding a RC car that I had when I was last over seas three years ago. It is a old Traxxas Stampede and i am looking to put a new motor and ESC in it. I am looking to put a Velineon 3500 Brushless Motor w/ VXL-3s ESC in to it and replace my steering servo with the Traxxas Waterproof Digital Servo which has a rating of 125 oz-in torque and Transit time 0.17 sec/60°. Any advice would be great. thanks.

i would also recommend a 2s lipo battery. With this you will get around 35-40 min of runtime. You will also need a charger that is capable of charging lipo batteries.

The vxl system is very powerful and especially on a nice lipo. The older style stampede is not built for that power so i would also recommend metal tranny gears (standard on the slash and rustler).

if it is too much power then can you recommend one that would be good for me ... also i am limited to buying internet only with where i live

i recommend a 3s but this one is a little bit too far out of your range because with the right gearing ratio then this can go 65+ so maybe but the second one is perfect a 2s which will give you plenty of speed and power probably 50+ and maybe 35+ minutes of runtime

If you are doing any racing on a dirt course it will be way too powerful. If you want to bash then it sounds good to me!

I really do not plan on doing races i am doing this so that i can just have fun with my girlfriends lil brother and hopefully get him in to rc cars i just remember the fun i had with this thing in kosovo and every where else it has been. so that being said think the steering servo is ok with the motor and esc i was looking at?
