Check for smoke on the top end a pinch test the lsn and have fun!!! 90% of the time I can run the car/truck without tuning it from the last time.
Depending on budget, i'd recommend a savage first (not the xl) 25 or 4.6 or the losi xxl.
I agree with you. I think the elec got bored becasue I never went LiPo with the Stampede, but also because it was small. They call it a 1/10th scale, but between a 4x4 Stampede and a Savage 25....it's night and day. The Pede feels like a little kids toy. Now if I got a Savag Flux or something the same size in electric, I don't know if I would have went nitro. I pob would have but kept 1 nitro and 1 elec.
I'm thinking to pick up a elec MT for the winter....I'll get real bored LOL
