TRX-36254-8-RED Traxxas Stampede 2WD XL-5 1/10 Monster Truck with Battery - Red (Collector Specs)

About This Monster Truck

The Traxxas Stampede is one of the most iconic names in RC — a 1/10 scale 2WD monster truck that's been a go-to first truck for beginners and a proven basher for experienced drivers for decades. The 36254-8 brought factory-installed Extreme Heavy-Duty suspension components and clipless body mounting to the proven Stampede platform as standard features. This is a collector-grade listing — this color has been discontinued.
