Hi All


Funds are such that I'm looking at either of these two options.


Seems my local store holds ARRMA spares which is useful, although I don't expect the ARRMA brand will allow for much bolt on upgrades. The ARRMA is however 2WD but brushless. I like the look of the ARRMA more


The Stampede has readily available spares and upgrades off the shelf. It's 4WD but not brushless. I'm not as big of a fan of the Stampede look.


I think the biggest difference is obviously the 2WD vs 4WD, I have read the ARRMA is tougher.


Which should I get?


Cheers!

The Granite looks pretty good with it's twin vertical plate design. I'm still a fan of Traxxas, but the Stampede is extremely dated.

I'd go 2WD brushless over 4WD brushed any day :D

Here's another one for ya

A 4x4 brushless stampede has just popped up near me, bought in feb this year with minimal scuffing on the body

Does have a cracked front lower a-arm though...

Asking $400 with the a-arm fixed

Thoughts on that options instead?
