i dont understand a few things i kinda want to get a stampede .. and later do a 4x4 conversion on it it will mostly just be bashing not raceing my buddy that does race says the stampedes suspension sucks and its more like a toy rc... compaired to like a rc10t - t4 the only thing that bothers me about the rc10t4 from what i can see is that they look very light and fast but " fragile" small a-arms and such if they are strong and will take a beating i might go that route if not i will go with a stampede.
