Remember "Stompers"?

[ThrottleJockey]

There's a new hit toy on the market called "Defiants". Defiants Danger Rally 4x4 Race
They look a lot like the old "Stompers" to me.....At $10 a piece these should be HUGE this holiday season. defiants 4x4s - Walmart.com

Yup, I collected them. I would take out the AA and install a 9v. Those things FLEW on a 9v battery.

We had playground competition with them at recess......lots of mods.

Hell Yea

My 8th grade metal shop teacher built a real working drag sled we had Stomper Truck pulls after class.
Rubberbands around the tires helped traction.

Had those when I was a kid. We used to try to drive them over, under, and off of everything we could find. They usually survived the fall from the deck to the concrete but a sand box pretty much did them in.

The coolest part was the interchangeable parts, tires, bodies, etc....that's what inspired all the mods IMO. I hope these new things take off big, that's a part of my youth that will be good to share with my kids.

My brother and I had the stomper's pull sled and the semi trucks.

I'm with you guys, hope these take off, it was a great part of my childhood.

Man does this topic take me back. I remember sitting in the dirt with my buddies during recess beating the crap out of those things.

remember the commercial

STOMPERS YOU CAN TRY TO STOPEM!!!!

Had tons of these things I would cut out plastic cups for them to drive thru set up mountain ranges, fake grass tunnels, just like the commercials

I loved those things, I would tie fishing line to em and run them through the drain tiles at my moms house, it was like 75 feet from the front of the house to the back where the drain came out. I think Stompers is where my love for full sized Ford Broncos came from, and now I have one in my driveway!

 

[Hammerhead]

I even still have (passed along to my boy now) some of the old McDonald's versions of the Stompers.

 

[Thumper]

I still have 4 of those stompers.

 

[MrsXtremeVel]

I use to take the rubber wheels off my brother's Stomper's and hide them just to make him mad. What are sister's for!?

 

[phylodog]

Had several of them and loved them. My Mom dated a guy when I was into them who was the president of one of the 4x4 clubs. I remember him talking about the "Stomper Rally" they had. Pulling sleds and chocolate pudding mud bogs. I never got to go to one though.

I have a shoe box somewhere full of them ! my favorite was the VW Baja bug and the semi truck.
