Dude, how do you like that Kenmore?

[Karadjas]

"something" brushless I assume?

[awnelson]

Uh, the Kenmore or the stampede?

[4DMNYC]

It's a brushless Kenmore. Washes twice the loads in half the time. And has virtualy no maintainence.

Actually, thats the dryer. The tumbler is hooked to a 3 spd. trans from a GST with a 4 shoe clutch, running a .46 with 33%...it shoots the clothes out at speed, folds them in mid-flight. Makes your laundry chores seem fun!!




( i have a matching set, washer and dryer both work perfect, so why get rid of them?)

Very nice Pede. I just ordered the black one yesterday for myself. It will be my first Pede, how do you like the new version? Whats the pros and cons of the Stampede?

[z-man280]

hey Shadow,...

This is 'Pede # 4 for me, i owned 3 of the first gen. models. I really havent had much run time with this one, due to the snow. IT will MOVE tho! Cons for a Stampede? It cant do laundry....


Honestly, the Stampede really is an excelent all around truck. There is really nothing it cant do at some level. As for the new Stampede, i will give ya my knowledge on what i have seen.

the new truck rolls on 4.80 tall Talons, as opposed to the 4.75 v-tread. Not much difference in hieght, but keep reading where it might play a role. Both new and old versions use the 272 magnum trans, however, the old truck, geared wit an 87 tooth spur, and 18 tooth pinion, was geared for the stinger motor, a 20 turn. The new pede, 86 and 19 respectively, but with a faster motor. This raised more than one eyebrow with me, as you know, rule of thumb is, lower turn motor, gear DOWN!, not up! So, we have a 2 teeth difference overall, and a tick taller tires, and a much hotter motor. Result? People throwing the included 23 tooth pinion on , and SMOKING either the motor or ESC, due to gross over-gearing.

Now, i have ran around the house with a 3300 pack, and neither the motor, or ESC has gotten beyond a little warm. Thats great, because that usually builds heat. The 50% trainer mode is awesome, and works nice. Unlike the old ESC's, the new XL5 uses the set-up button as its on/off switch, ( nice touch) and uses a throttle/ brake, let off trigger, THEN reverse feature, i like that.

The new white springs are a bit stiffer than the previous red ones, and that makes for some on-throttle push, or understeer, but overall, doesnt hurt it too bad.

Watch your gearing, keep your slipper set correct,( mine came a tad too loose) and go over the truck with a screwdriver before you run it. Other than that, have a blalst with it, its a great truck.
