The Gens Ace battery I bought is a 2s 5000mah 50c. I'm not a lipo expert but I have had different lipos with different c ratings. Im not sure what impact it has on the battery. But don't worry about it. I would try to get something between 20 and 50c, you should be fine.
And yes, you will need a charger. When I bought my first lipo I almost made the mistake by charging it with the stock wall charger
Here are some links to Amazon. I have owned all these battery's and charger
This is my Gens Ace lipo, just bought it a week ago. Seems fine:

This is my venom lipo. Great brand, just pretty expensive:

This is my charger. Great charger, kinda out dated but works fine:
HiTec 44165 X1 AC Plus Single Port 6 Amp AC/DC Charger (NiCd/NiMH/LiPo) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005LH3392/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_og7DybJFYKT6C
I would also recommend getting a lipo bag. Lipo batteries tend to do catch on fire, but none of mine have. I would still get one just in case. Just out your battery in it when you charge it and store it. Here's the link for one:
Generic CoBean Silver Large Size Lipo Battery Guard Sleeve/Bag for Charge & Storage https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005HTH78W/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_4h7DybR76NC3S
Other than that, post when you get your battery and charger so we can help you out on setting everything up. Just make sure you get a 2s. 3s is crazy. Also if your going to be driving on the street, make sure you got a pair of road tires because the battery will tear up your off road tires. Other than that, have fun!
I wouldn't go too crazy on motors for the old stampede. With a good brushed motor and a decent ESC, you can handle any 2s LiPo that will fit and have lots of fun. You'll need a LiPo charger though. If you are thinking of getting both RC's running, it will be worth it. I have several of these 2S batteries with excellent results:

For a 2wd vehicle, I tend to use something like the Castle sidewinder 3:
http://www.castlecreations.com/en/sidewinder-3
If works with brushless and brushed motors, but you'll need the programming card or USB programmer to switch modes:
https://www.amazon.com/Castle-Creations-CSE011-0119-00-Link-Programming/dp/B0716SH9V8/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=castle+field+link&amp;qid=1564593156&amp;s=toys-and-games&amp;sr=1-3
How good are you at soldering? You'll either need to switch connectors on the ESC's or batteries or buy adapters. You local hobby store might be able to help with changing connectors. It's better to avoid connectors if you can.
In the short run the Lipo will give you more punch and then you can mess with gearing. With the eventual upgrade to a brushless system.
But for the long run, I recommend this charger
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0758FGPQX?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
If your able, have your Traxxas connectors replaced with a deans or xt60 or xt90
SMC has awesome batteries at a great price, never had any issues with them and I always heard good things about them.
I had a Traxxas ID charger and I didn’t like being limited to Traxxas batteries, too pricey for what they offer
Truth. Het a good set of tools trust me. Cheap ones are usually not very precise in their sizes and you will strip out heads over time. I use this one when I'm out and about.

thanks! I used this stuff minus the primer:
https://www.amazon.com/Modern-Masters-Effects-Oxidizing-2-Ounce/dp/B01LWT0Q5R/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1486586071&amp;sr=8-12&amp;keywords=modern+metals
I have re-done this 3 times now though in order to add a LOT more rust. Almost the entire body is covered at this point, and it's blended a lot better too. I had to work on painting technique a little before I got it just right. I have a little more body work to do, adding a few more details to make it look more patchwork. Once it's all done I plan on adding more pics. Hopefully by the end of the week.
The Traxxas ID charger can charge normal Lipo batteries as well as the Traxxas ID batteries. On the front of the charger there should be a little plastic cover, pop that off and it has the balance leads for a 2 and 3 cell lipo. As long as your non Traxxas batteries have a Traxxas plug it'll charge normal lipos. As for recommendations i personally use this and have about 50 runs on it and it still performs great.
As mentioned, $300 isn’t quite enough for 4x4. This is the Stampede you’d be looking at.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01E9XWU6U/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_KKuTCbDQH7BQY
And the Rustler
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07JZKJQT5/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_xLuTCb04BR1DC
Alternatively, you could pick up an Arrma Granite 4x4. I have the brushless version of this truck and it’s ok. I kinda wish I got the Stampede, though.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077PC2DDD/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_ZPuTCbWVF1MB4
For a charger, you could get this little guy for $30 which is a great budget charger.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07751LCYB/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_.LuTCbFR31K36
And SMC makes great batteries at a low cost. This one is just under $40.

Here is the one I have that works pretty good.

nice! any difference between these two models of rustler vxl? (aside from the color)

I can offer to make parts if provided the part file then send it to you or i can try to find one but i would add you may wanna do a traxxas vxl motor and esc many motor mounts out there
&#x200B;
First i'd buy the mount and motor Mount Motor depends what motor you wanna do
Is this the one you have?
