Stompers were 1/64 scale trucks that were 4 wheel drive, and had no steering (i.e. you flip the switch, set it on the ground, and let 'er rip!).
All of the bodies were officially licensed from the various auto companies (like the ZipZaps are). They were manufactured and quite popular in the early '80s, around 1980-1982 or so.
(Edit) P.S. I've always said that the new ZipZaps Monster Trucks were akin to "Stompers on steroids" LOL! -

Cool! I live in southwest Kendall, quite a bit further south than that
Your best bet would be to use the phone book and call several RS(s), just to ensure that the one that you visit has them in stock. From what I've seen in my local RS stores, they all seemed to be fully stocked with all of the afore mentioned upgrade and body kits -
