It's been a long time since I've held the controller for what used to be my Stampede but it definately took a lot of abuse. Full throttle jumps weren't uncommon but tumbles were.
I had a blast with it & I've seriously concidered replacing it but I'm not really into electric anymore. Mine wouldn't wheelie unless I lifted the front end with my hand but it would ride it until I hit something or let off the throttle.
