StampedeProject.com Ultra-Pede III

Ultra-Pede III


Of course you can’t be StampedeProject.com without the most kick ass Stampede in existence.  This is my third Ultra-Pede build but this one is miles above anything previous.  The Ultra-Pede features a complete 1/8th scale sized Extended FLM Traxxas Stampede chassis with tweaked billet Revo shocks, billet links, an all steel drivetrain, Traxxas 2.4Ghz TX/RX, and Traxxas digital waterproof servo. 

I have a Hitec Titanium ultra-torque servo ready, but the Traxxas servo won’t die. The last two items are about the only thing “stock”.  The body is a nearly indestructable abnormally heavy 2mm thick Proline Crowd Pleaser body I found over the years. No 550 or 540 is not enough power.  

My Ultra-Pede is powered by a 4S feed Neu 1512-1Y ⅛ scale motor with a 32P pinion spur gearing that has more power than any other Stampede on the planet... it’s the most powerful motor you can fit with minimal modification on a Stampede.  

To keep the tires from flying off I used the Pro-Line Short Course 2.2” beadlocks with Fatirons or M2Ks. Totally insane, but it is, without a doubt, the most durable and powerful Ultra-Pede ever assembled.

Great job man!

But why don't you upgrade your tyres?!
I know it will look like monster+dragster but that is the idea. :)

I'm planning to upgrade my Pede with MMM sized motor too but I faced a few problems that you have resolved - what FLM parts do you use in order to mount the motor?
By picking up Stampede 4x4 section (http://www.fastlanemachine.net)there is no motor mount like yours.
So if you are not so tired you can copy/paste all the parts used to build this monster - I will highliy appreciate it!

Cheers!

This is a 2WD Stampede not the new 4X4 version. Buy FLM Extended Stampede Chassis kit with the FLM transmission housing. That is what I used.

I have since swapped to Proline M2K which are still the best all around RC tire for the stampede.
