Full FLM Electric Stampede better basher than Most Nitros?
I wanted to know peoples inputs on If A full FLM Stampede is a more durable basher than nitros. Overall jumps, crashes. Savages, revo, lst2, maxxes. Also not comparing to super modified nitros. Like an all out flm savage. Reason is i already have a pretty good modified pede and just need a few more parts to make it pretty much as bullet proof as a pede can be.
I'm not asking anything about, handling, speed, size, or especially nitro vs electric. Just about durablity. Not if i land it correctly or not. just everything crash possible.
thx. No clubs or anyone i know around me that bashes, so i never got to see the durabilty of nitros.

The pede is the most stout vehicle of any type I have ever seen. except for the old school all metal tonka trucks.

The biggest issue with making a robust electric is the waterproofing. If you go to a waterproof brushless, like the MambaMax, then it will be the same as nitro...you will only need to protect the RX. Stampede is a great basher...though i did see someone split the rather thin chassis in half when he slid sideways into a tree...but then, the replacement parts aren't too expensive either.

The Mamba Max system is NOT waterproof. Only the ESC. The motor is splash proof, but brushless motors hate water, i hope you know.

I just ordered the complete FLM package for my pede! Next im looking to get the mamba max. Once this project is done, imma see if i can wait for the next super electric basher. Or just get a damn nitro...savage. Really hoping the emaxx will get an upgrade, or a elec revo. I dont want to do a conversion. I like things to look factory, not rigged. Cant wait for my Flm package to get here! Bling bling, crash crash. Great warrantee!

Get a nitro truck like a GST 7.7 or a Savage X SS. Or If you prefer electric, buy a E-Savage. Then you have 2 trucks !
