edit:

holy cow look how much one of this costs on ebay.. its an original. hell i used to have a pile of those things. i wonder if mom still has them????

Hey Spanky check it out :eek:

My dad has one, but it's screwd up badly, and it doesn't work. I put a battery in it one day, turned it on, and the light turned on, but the car didn't move. I think that the motor is dead. I think I will keep it form my cars though :p

P.S. I HOPE we are talking about the same thing......:rolleyes:

yea i was wanting it for the tires.... but i wonder if you could hook up one of the motors from those things... throw on 3 cells and watch it fly.. it will have plenty of torque thats for sure...

The motor in mine doesn't have any cover on it, it just has some magnets and sides on it.... It's a wierd lookin motor. I will have to take my dad's car apart again someday, and experiment....:D

i love stompers! :eek:

walgreens is selling the reg stompers for around $3.99. same tires and everything.

Here is a couple pics of my dads car, it got a little crushed from when he was a kid though :p

Another.

dang i didnt even know they still made them... i will have to check them out. i wanted one for the tires.. and possibly the motor..

I tried to stick em on axles, but they don't fit to well.... I would be able to get them to stick in good, but I might have to extend the axle about another inch or so.

Absolute definitve site on old school stompers, plus where to buy new release stompers.

Tell em Jay sent ya!

Oh my god, that's hella lots of stompers :eek: I would get one, but my parents don't want me to buy anything off the net, and the stores around me are too crappy....

i just saw them at toys -r us... although i didnt see a price for them...

They're 4 bucks at my Toys 'R' Us.

I had tons of these when I was a kid, but I destroyed them all. I had a box full of parts, that I could've built several stompers from, but all my gears were strippped from runing 9-volts. I used to put big monster tires on them. Jack up the body, and shove a 9-volt sideways in the battery slot. They were crazy fast, and would hydroplane over the top of tall grass, but it would literally melt the gears if I ran it too long, which I did often. That box might still be in my old closet at my mom's house, but I kinda doubt it.

I also used to split the chassis in half, and glue together 2 motor halfs. Hook wires up up a lantern battery, and have truck pulls with my friends. We had seen in the magazine 4-wheel and Off road that the adults were doing that at the bar, so we copied. I also built a dula motor monster, but that was over kill.

One of my dreams as a kid was to RC a Stomper, and lately I've been trying to figure out how to do it. Should be too hard with all the tiny RCs available now.
I have a Jeep pickup (forgot what they were called, Wagoneer?) that I found at Walgreens. I saw a Nomad at Toys 'R' Us. I should have grabbed it.

Nice collection Cabo Wabo. I had most of those, and some different ones. Seeing yours makes me wish mine weren't dead. That grey Siverado was one of my favorites. I had put smoke stacks off a semi on mine, and stained some small pieces of popsicle sticks to make some wood bed rails, ala 'Lil Red Wagon style.
