RE: Stampede XL-5 Questions
there's only one size of the stampede. I prefer the brushless over the brushed personally. I've had alot of problems with traxxas brushed motors. But as far as 2wd or 4x4 thats up to you. the 2wd is cheaper than the 4x4 one but the brushed one is cheaper than the brushless. My son beats his truck hard and it seldom breaks since i upgraded his brushed one to brushless. As far as batteries if you go with lipo batteries and something like a 2s lipo with a 5000mah rating you'll get tons of run time compared to the similar sized nimhs. Then the onyx 245 charger can charge dual lipos so your not waiting on batteries to charge as much. Anyway you go the stampede is a great entry level truck that you both will enjoy for quite awhile.
