from Traxxas

Product description

The Traxxas Stampede XL-5 Electric RTR Monster Truck is definitely worth buying if you want action-packed fun at a budget-minded price.

Back in the day, if you bought a monster truck it most likely had more to do with how cool it looked rather than how it performed. That's not the case today now that Traxxas has introduced the high-performance monster truck known to the world as the Stampede. More specifically, the Stampede XL-5 Electric RTR Monster Truck is not only known for high-performance but also for being sophisticated. It's powerful and fast with a reinforced channel design and fiber-composite materials. The suspension makes use of track-tuned geometry and fully-adjustable oil-filled shocks. Is the road a bit bumpy? No worries--the Stampede XL5 has nice ground clearance, too. If you are looking for a truck that can compete in races with your buddies then you should definitely take a closer look at the Traxxas Stampede XL-5 Electric RTR Truck.

The transmission is wide-ratio with ball bearings and even has an adjustable slipper clutch. The motor outputs tons of torque via a Stinger 20-turn motor with a very strong differential using metal gears. If you will be driving on rocks and dirt then you should have plenty of traction with the monster-mudder tires.

The Stampede is a ready-to-run (RTR) RC truck with a fully-finished paint job.

So, the handling is better in smooth to moderately-rough off-road surfaces and not as good in very rough off-road areas. Also, the steering is not as good at extremely high speeds as some users would have liked.
