The Traxxas Stampede holds a place in our hearts as being a fun 2WD monster truck that just about any enthusiast at any skill level can drive. But for those with a little experience under their belt, the Traxxas Stampede 4×4 is the logical next step up in off-road fun. The Stampede 4×4 has a proven rugged 4WD drivetrain that can also be found in the Slash 4×4.

There are plenty of upgrade options for the Stampede 4×4 and for this 3 Upgrade Ideas Thursday segment, we have some suggestions to toughen up the Traxxas Stampede 4×4.
