RE: electric stampede upgrades
Hmm i can't seem to find the EXACT battery i run. Mine is JUST like this only red, i believe mine is a 4500mah but still an 8 cell battery so the same power but a little less run time but not much.

I have a good charger to charge all of mybatteries, i have like 12 SETS of battery packs so i charge two at a time with this twin peak charger, works great!

RE: electric stampede upgrades
NO it works awesome with that 8 cell pack. I fried my ESC by plugging in my 7 cell IB4200 pack.
The SAME ib4200 pack also friend my E-Savage ESC, AND shorted out a tamiya connector on my E-maxx brushless novak ESC, NOW these same batteries work GREAT in my E-Maxx. I have no idea what the deal is but for now on i'll never plug these batteries into another truck besides the e-maxx. They work great in the e-maxx but they just don't seem to work in anything else, why? who knows?

RE: electric stampede upgrades
get some cheap radio shack GP3300s batts, 25$ a pop
deans plugs
and then a brushless system!
Ohh and stock tires suck once you get some power they just spin. I would recomend M2ks if you drive in grass and really rough terrain, and for asphalt and hard pack id go with something like dirt works and edge tires up front.
