Hunter's Brushless Pede Build

[hunter306]

Allright, I've had this going for sometime, but I thought some of you guys might enjoy taking a look at the progress. I originally traded with Marty for a Stampede, but then I got to building... and I pretty much replaced every part on it.

So this is my progress so far:

what tires and wheels are those? very nice! what body you gonna use?

 

[B-Rad]

Who makes those wheel adaptors?

 

[rc4x4nut]

Thats looking great. What insane motor are you planning on putting in it?

 

[hunter306]

Speed Tech Racing makes the clamping hubs. Actually, if you have the stock configuration (arms) you'd use the wider ones in front. The way my custom setup worked out, I swapped the wide hubs to the back and the skinny hubs to the front.

The width is now close to even between the front and rear (front may be wider by about 3mm or so)

As for a body, I'm at a loss... I'm thinking about ordering FLM Extended Chassis to finish it up, then using a MAXX sized body, because the pede' options STINK right now.

---
It's gonna be getting a Novak GTB 5.5r system. Should be overkill =)

good call. that chassis is awesome.

Looks real nice. Those tires are huge on the pede! An extended chassis and maxx bod will help everything mesh together nicely.

That's a great looking truck. Can't wait to see it get dirty! :rock

 

[kjr2]

Those look like offset RPM wheels and Traxxas tires.

Your Stampede looks killer Hunter!

 

[hunter306]

KJR's Correct,

Emaxx Chevron Tires (pulled from a new emaxx)

RPM StableMaxx Wheels (Spider Type)

Thanks for all the comments, I think it turned out pretty good! I just got the all-thread to make the steering links up, then I'll be in business.

Finally completed the Brushless Stampede this evening. I fabricated the tie-rods for the steering, the metal plate for the esc mounting, and did some wiring cleanup.
