I gave my grandson this pede 2 years ago, think I got it from Shamokin as a roller.

Threw an old Novak rooster on it.

Quicky paint job and put on body.

And him opening it after drooling over mine.

Here he is driving his first hobby grade RC :D
He did quite well for having something that would go a little faster than his wal-mart toys lol

Body #2 servo #2 and different rims and tires. Also put XL1 esc into it He didn't like the delay into reverse the Rooster had.

Body #3,servo #3, new rims and tires again.

And the body, Stock Rims again, Axial Rock Lizards, New Johnson 20t w/cooling fan, bearings through out, 4th steering servo (man he loves to jump) And got him 2 new 3300mAh nimh packs. also had to put a a-arm wheely bar on it since now wheelies are no problem for it.
Made it a little faster for him since his driving skills have improved a lot.

Paint job not quite complete I will update when its done.

I really should get him a good servo since I'm running out of gear sets lol

Oh ya and video of testing the new motor and gearing.

Few more years I'll be building a pink stampede for my granddaughter, when she turns 4-5.
She already loves to watch her brothers stampede and she's 3.

I know if I make it pink she'll love it she's a pink freak, thinking a pink hpi bug body.

my daughter is about to turn 3 this dec. she already has a micro "t" (stock) and she does the same thing "all the way left" or "all the right" while i bump the throttle it is awesome!.

best quote of the day, i can not wait untill i am back in san diego so my nitros will hold the same tune for weeks on end!

maybe a brushless and a 4 cell to start with-lol
