so I purchased a new stampede 4x4 brushed end of Feb. and when i opened box, oil was all over the bag truck was wrapped in due to a shock cap being off, not a great 1st impression. Ran good once fixed until after 5 short runs, when the receiver went out. Traxxas sent a new one that I could install, did that, another few runs, out again, another new one sent. It is now a little over 3 months old, and once again, the receiver is making me have to bind to the transmitter every time I want to run the truck. I just bought a TRX4-Sport 2 and a half weeks ago, it has the same receiver as the stampede. I have 2 runs at maybe 25 minutes tops, and the receiver is doing the same thing !! Making me have to bind to my transmitter every time I want to use it. I have called their cust. service numerous times, and its a toss-up whether you get polite or arrogant, or downright rude. I always heard good things about the company, but I have lost confidence in their crappy Chinese electronics. For the money they charge for their trucks, I would expect more/longer reliability than this. Especially when I am not a basher. Just run for enjoyment.

I bought the traxxas jato 3.3 two months ago. I have had nothing but problems with it!!! The gears in the transmission have striped out already, I've had to replace the receiver, battery pack, and steering servo 5x (and need another one now)!!!! I spent $450 for this car and have almost that much again in parts trying to fix it!!!! For being two months old and never wrecked I thinks that's a little ridiculous almost $1000 cost for an rc car that I can't even drive!!!! The parts for it are hard to find with little or no kind of upgrade parts available!!! I'm trying to have traxxas warranty in now but they have not so far!!!! DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THESE OVER PRICED PLASTIC PILES OF S@#T !!!!!!

Feb 2020 purchased stampede 4x4 vxl . What a money pit that traxxas just loves you for purchasing. It is may 2020. In 3 months i had to replace the esc, rear tires ripped, replaced! this truck breaks axle shafts every 4 minutes. Over $180.00 in axle shafts alone. from stock to the extreme heavy duty. In 3 months i have over $1000.00 in to this. It mad me so mad i threw it up against the wall and broke A arms then kicked it and threw it in the trash can. I have had enough. TRAXXAS...... never again will i purchase another. I feel you owe me an apology for misleading promo advertising. People !!! before you buy the expensive over rated TRAXASS brand, Look at other brands first!!!!

While the vehicles are high quality (with high maintenance), the overall experience with Traxxas has been disappointing, especially for the cost of these vehicles. My issue are the batteries included with purchase. I bought 2 different vehicles over an 8 month period, both came with 8.4v NiMH batteries. The batteries run good, at optimum level ONE TIME... afterwards, the batteries will not full charge (and I own 3 types of chargers), and are pretty much no good. I had them tested at a local shop, and was told they each have bad cells....again after ONE use. I called Traxxas to see if they would swap them, provide a credit going towards my next purchase...NOPE..nothing. I was forced to buy all new batteries, just so my son and I can continue to drive our vehicles. After spending so much money with Traxxas, I was truly disappointed how easily they are willing to lose a good customer, especially since THEY are the one selling a faulty product. I would have given them a 1 star, but bumped them to a 2 ONLY because the vehicles are great, when you have a working battery.
