What would be the best for my Stampede? You came to the right forum CerrW. I've been over to that NH forum and there's a ton of things you can do with that Stampede of yours. All you need is a 3D printer, some decent CAD software, and a basic understanding of materials engineering and design, and a boat load of resin and time. Pffffft, you got this.

But seriously, as a mere mortal that has tinkered with his Stampede for many hours, I felt compelled to reply.

Your best bet for the money is three 3.7 IMRs, and an Air Restrictectomy. You just need a  4 AA Battery Holder and a 9 Volt Connector, some IMRs, and a Dummy battery.

Google up one of the many videos describing the Stampede AR removal, then put 3 IMRs and a dummy battery in the battery holder, and wire the leads directly to the terminals in the battery box. I would say its "just that simple", but unfortunately it's not. Plus it ain't cheap.

The results however are spectacular. Around 3 DPS with an effective range of 55 feet level. And the sound is awesome ! Check out my test firing.
