A closer look at Stampede V3 kit

The satisfying 'ker-chunk' of the Stampede's AEG bolt system has an enduring appeal even now, more than 7 years after it first hit the shelves. Our V2 upgrade kit has been steadily popular but the time has come to implement some bug fixes and make it even easier to install.



The key difference with the V3 is that it used a bare bones copper PCB to mount the through hole components to. No longer will you need to solder bare wires to the bottom of the relay. Instead, fit the relay to the board and solder the pads directly to connect everything up. The wires are replaced by the copper traces in the laminate.



You can also fit the MOSFET and the resistor the same way to keep things nice and tidy. The the entire assembly can then be bolted to the rear bulkhead using a 3D printed piece, a M3x10 bolt and locking nut.


We retain the stock mechanism switch in order to protect the cycling system from over run and general bugs. The stock loom can be wired to a JST line and then plugged directly into the board using the V3 kit. We provide two header pins for the stock mechanism switch and the blaster's on/off switch to be plugged in.

The complete kits includes all the wiring lengths you need, all the JST plugs to solder to the stock loom, heat shrink tubing, fuses and fuse holder, all the through hole components (relay, FET, resistor, header blocks), the PCB, a battery connector of choice and of course our standard 6kg Stampede upgrade spring.

The entire V3 kit is available for £18 (correct at the time of writing) via our website. Dispatch time is subject to our lead times policy.

    Can we get a wiring diagram for the install? Mine still won't work and it's hard to troubleshoot.

      https://i.imgur.com/x9nQPDb.png - That's the schematic for the board which is essentially a cut down version of the main Stampede wiring diagram.

    Would installing a motor speed controller with potentiometer between the motor and relay work? Or where could one be wired? I want to rewire my stampede with this kit, but adding a selectable voltage.

      What are you hoping to achieve with a motor speed controller?

      The Stampede generally needs somewhere between 9 and 12 volts to operate normally. Higher voltages (ie: higher speed of the motor) causes mechanical damage, whilst lower voltages can fail to provide sufficient torque to operate the mechanism.

      If you're trying to control the rate of fire, then you need to cycle the entire power supply off and on instead.

      Thanks,
      Steven
