Stampede Man

I want to convert my whole peed to metal. I want to know which is better, aluminum or titanium or other. I also want to know where to get the parts approx. price and What is better to upgrade first. I want it to be strong enough to withstand a MILD crash. PS I have a mamba max 5700 in it.

Titanium in most applications of your Stampede would be "better" than aluminum. "Better" as in it would be more durable, and lighter than aluminum, but it comes at a hefty price. Aluminum is a much more viable option than titanium, but it can also result in a truck thats a little heavier than a stock truck. For an all aluminum Pede, you'll need one [link=http://www.rc-monster.com/proddetail.php?prod=FLMEXTPEDEKIT&cat=31]FLM Stampede Super Extended Chassis Kit[/link] and one [link=http://www.rc-monster.com/proddetail.php?prod=FLMaltranny&cat=31]FLM Stampede Aluminum Tranny Case Set[/link]. The Extended Chassis Kit is one inch longer than stock, so it gives you the ability to run Maxx sized bodies on your Pede. They do come in a regular length also, if that is what you would prefer. Also, I'd recommend getting the Chassis Kit with the extended arms, so you can run four "front" rims and have a WidePede mod. The only thing that the FLM kits lack are castor blocks, and chassis braces (front and rear). The [link=http://www.rc-monster.com/proddetail.php?prod=FLM22400&cat=31]FLM Stampede Chassis Braces[/link] could be used. Alternatively, the [link=http://www.neweramodels.com/cgi-bin/item.cgi?session_id=&part_id=317]New Era Front Brace[/link] could be used, and for a rear brace, the Swami-RC rear brace could be used.

Here is what a completely all aluminum Pede looks like (this isn't my Pede, its 45mph pede's pede, but he isn't around anymore. )

Will the wheels be offset? because I don't want them to be.

Chassis braces (like the FLM ones I linked to) and castor blocks (I don't know of any manufacturers that make aluminum ones). Also, if you want aluminum oversized bearing carriers, [link=http://www.ultimaterc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=73022]here's a link[/link] to some info on Traxxas's new aluminum steering blocks/

Those would work, but you would have to run Nitro 'Pede front knuckles and wheels.
