Why would you even compare the e-maxx to a stampede?? Does the stampede have dual motors?? Does it have four wheel drive?? Does it go 30+ mph out of the box?? Can you make it all aluminum?? Can you make it go 45 mph with brushless motors?? Can you even beat a tyco r/c car?? Some radio shack trucks are better than the stampede. I could care less what other people think about the stampede or the e-maxx!! I could see if you compared the stampede to a rustler, but why compare the E to the stampede??

In Low gear on pavement E-Maxx will instantly "Flip" when the throttle is pulled to quickly, please use smooth throttle control to prevent excessive "Wheelies"
Dual motors... yeah, lots of power, but they also suck up batteries much faster than a single one, and to get more power, you need more batteries. More batteries equals more weight, so it's kind of cancelling it out.
Four wheel drive... hm, do you really need it for bashing around and jumping? It's just extra weight... remember, what goes up, must come down, and what weighs alot, comes down HARD.
Can it go 30 MPH out of the box? No... but the Stampede will hit 24 MPH box stock, which is enough to match a stock E-maxx on 6-cells.
Can you make it all aluminum? Not all aluminum, but pretty damn close. GPM makes aluminum shock towers, aluminum suspension arms, aluminum bulkheads, aluminum castor blocks, aluminum bearing carriers, you can get aluminum shocks, and some manufacturers make aluminum wheels. Why would you want an all-aluminum truck anyway, just to sit it on a shelf so you can stare at it dumbfounded? Aluminum is heavier than plastic, and it bends, so when you jump it, think about what happens when it hits the ground at a funky angle.
Can you make it go 45 with a BL system? Hell yeah, and alot more as well. Lower the suspension a tad, lower the body, gear it right, put a few cells on it with a decent BL system, and 50+ is an easy target.
Can it beat a Tyco? Let's see... last time I checked, Tycos couldn't even hit 20 MPH. I think the Stampede has it beat. And if you want to bring durability into this, then how about you bring your E-maxx into this and see which one breaks first. I'll bet the E-maxx does.
Some Radio Shack trucks are better than the Stampede? The Stampede is made by Traxxas, which is the same company that also makes your E-maxx. If you wish to say that some Radio Shack trucks are better than the Stampede, then those same Radio Shack trucks are either equal to or better than your E-maxx. Radio Shack RC's suck to begin with, and Traxxas is a much higher quality company than Radio Shack, so the two brands are nowhere near each other.
If you actually cared less about what people thought about the Stampede or E-maxx, then you wouldn't have replied. Obviously you do... which is why you replied.
And you can also get wheelies out of a Stampede as well...
Learn how to post an image, would you? Your post alone caused me to feel like I lost quite a few brain cells.

RE: Stampede Versus EMaxx - 
, do you? I have lots of stuff to do to. Thats not all I do is drive little r/c cars! I have lots of other hobbies too. Did you ever hear of a R/C boat before? Well I have 5 of them and they are way better to drive then r/c cars! And one is a 61 in. gas(NOT NITRO) boat! I also go jet-skiing with my 2003 YAMAHA GP800R that goes 72 mph!! I also drive quads if you know what they are, that is a YAMAHA BLASTER 230cc and got clocked at 69.3 mph!
