The 2WD Stampede VXL has always been the first name in monster truck fun, but Traxxas stability management and brushless power put it over-the-top. With a top speed of over 65mph (with optional 3S lipo battery), Stampede VXL lets you explore the outer limits of what's possible. New Traxxas stability management allows arrow-straight acceleration on slippery surfaces without loss of control. TSM also makes high speed cornering corrections in the background for you, without unexpected side effects. The Velineon VXL-3s ESC works with the 3500 motor for extreme power, smooth starts, and precise control while its brushless design reduces wear and friction. The VXL-3s offers 3 driving modes: sport, race, and training mode. Training mode limits power to 50% to allow new drivers to gain experience. Velineon accepts standard 7-cell NiMH batteries up to 3S 11.1V LiPos with its integrated low-voltage protection. Waterproof electronics allow Stampede VXL the freedom to drive through water, mud and snow. The TQi 2.4GHz transmitter is fully adjustable and can be equipped with a Bluetooth module that turns your Android, iPad iPhone or iPod touch (sold separately) into a powerful tuning tool. Automatic 36076-4 recognition instantly recalls your settings for up to 30 Traxxas Link-enabled models. Stampede VXL is equipped to handle serious horsepower with its Torque-Control slipper clutch, heavy-duty turnbuckles and tough steel-geared transmission. Huge monster truck tires and digital high-torque steering Servo tackle almost any obstacle. The Stampede VXL is 100% assembled right out of the box. Battery and charger sold separately.
