Just be careful of the bulkheads they are fairly weak on the Maxx. Oh and make sure you painted the inside of the body with lexan paint not the outside.

I agree with the trading in on the warranty.Just buy a piston and sleeve if it gets worn out.As far as lack of power i don't see it unless he is talking about the stock .15 that came on the stampede they are traxxas first motor they do lack power,but the 2.5 on your truck is good for bashing and if you want to go faster get a 3.3 traxxas motor
