A Stampede is a Stampede, after all – a classic N-Strike blaster which likely needs some freshening after years of neglect since its original release from the factory, nearly a decade ago. You might have to strip yours right down to the bare shell, after which you would be in a much better position to find out everything wrong. It could be anything from a warped plastic barrel, worn spring, stripped gears, rotted wiring, corroded circuitry around the battery tray etc. etc.
