which novak system is it? I would probably be interested in either one of them.

i am waiting to see if i win the tc3 or the stampede (or both) and then will make a final decision. i kinda expect to loose the tc3 cuz i didnt bid much.
i am not sure if i would rather have the power or the ease in the pede, but i am wanting to put a new system in my offroad t4.

i was bidding on one that was a 6 day auction...i then saw this one today that was just listed, so i jumped on it and since it was the new version and was cheap...i went ahead and bought it, now i just need to be outbid on the other auction. if i win it, i will end up parting out the trucks and keeping what i need and hopefully break even.

RE: Sleepy's Stampede....(maybe)
boys,i have to admit, i am gettin pretty pumped about getting the pede. i see several things i want to do to it and its nice to have one rc that i can tweak on that i dont worry about weight or extremely performance.
i know i want to slam the body down cuz i dont like it riding so high. i then want to take aluminum tube and do step rails and a nice tube front and rear bumper and maybe some lights on a roll bar all coupled to a more classic looking 'redneck' body. after i run the stock setup for a while, i will be putting brushless in it and changing the servo. whn i change all that stuff, i will put in the idler and the rpm bearing conversion and hinge pin changes. its gona be fun, i might have to take it down the road to this place where they are doing construction for some good ole bashin...

RE: Sleepy's Stampede....(maybe)
The only problem I've had with my Pede is that it is 2WD. I go to the Oceano Dunes a lot, and the Pede just spins out, and I try to climb an impossible hill by one of my friend's home and the Pede just flips over. The Pede has taken a backseat to the Savage, which glides across the dunes, and, well, it doesn't make it up the hill, but it doesn't flip over either.

the truck should be waiting for me when i get home today. i will have to wait a little while for a battery to charge up and then off i go to do some bashing ( as long as transmitter has batteries...). after the bash session (or maybe before) i think i will pull some dimensions so i can go ahead and design a new chassis and see if possible to put a t4 tranny in this thing.
