Status: offline 		As some of you know from my other thread I just ordered a Traxxis Stampede. I was just wondering what other bodies I can fit on it? So if I break the stocker I can look at other choices for a new one. Thanks,Matt

I would go with the chevy silverado since im a chevy/dodge man, but my stock body has been great so far, and i have had some bad crashes.Some people say its not any7 good though, so i dont know how it compares to other bodys.

I would say to just oil up the wheel axles and bushings, and put a few drops of oil on each bushing of the motor(1 bushing on each end).Here is a web page with pictures and an explanation of breaking in an electric motor the best way, but if you dont have the time and stuff to do this, then just oil the bushings some and run around slow about a battery pack, and then go at it.Here is the link:http://www.rccaraction.com/rc/articles/supercharge_stocker.asp

Status: offline 		Hey mr. rob drummy. Apparently you have not ridden in or wittnessed a modified dodge with a cummins run. I would say if you have a gas, you might beat me until i hit overdrive.I recently got my first truck which is just like dads except it is an automatic( : ) and it has a torque plate (bumps it up around 600ft-lbs of torque). When i hit overdrive it will be a miracle if you can even see my dana 70's butt when i come around you because there wont be nothing but black smoke and me leaving you behind in it. My cousin had a dodge with a cummins that was very heavily modified to probably around 900 ft-lbs of torque, and he burnt gas trucks all the time with it.He never was beaten except once by another dodge diesel! The only way you would be me till i hit overdrive is because of the junky auto in it, but i would still hang close to you, and then ive already told you what would happen when i hit overdrive. And by the way, you DEFINATLEY DONT want me to break out the log chain and two clevises! That wouldnt even be funny!

Status: offline 		cummins driver, I hate to bust your bubble but torque has nothing to do with speed. Im not saying that I dont like dodge I really like the production line, but the new 6.0L would smoke the cummins and pull it around like a rag doll.

Status: offline 		T3 guy, you may be right for the most part about torque not making things fast, but, i hate to bust your bubble back and tell you that i went to the scheid diesel extravaganza in indiana this weekend and saw a stock 03 cummins and a stock 03 6.0L ford pull(a pulling sled), and the dodge out pulled him by 4 feet! They were both automatic 2500 4x4 extended cabs too.I also put my truck on the dyno and it turned 246hp and 635 pounds of torque.I will tell you that torque does have a LOT to do with pulling, and my truck has more than a new 6.0L ford, so i guess that answers the pulling thing too.By the way, have you seen all the problems the 6.0L fords are having?I also ran my truck at the drag strip, and ran consistent 11.60's in the 1/8 mile at 57-58mph, which i dont think is too bad for a 7000 pound truck.They also had the fastest diesel truck in the world there which was another dodge 2500 4x4 ext. cab and it was running 7's.

Status: offline 		Ok the worlds diesel fastest truck was a dodge with a cummins, but it was not a 4x4. It was a dodge dakota body style and it was made by the banks-power association and they took it out to the salt flats and it ran like 256mph or something like that. And Go to fourwheeler.com they have a whole articule about it. The dodge diesel came in last out of Ford, Chevy, and Dodge and ford came in first. And I highly doubt the dodge out pulled the 6.0L, or the guy driving didnt know what he was doing, because the ford cranks out more torque, and hp than the dodge.
