2:44 your charging the batteries IN the cars???? oh your that type of person.

1) It's 95% driver....5% buggy. 2) That 12T *550* is more like a 8.5 or 7.5 brushless, than it is a 17.5 brushless. 3) Us rear-motor people are like 2 strokes....we will never be outdated. Aaaaand 4) Get that Bandit on some dirt, where it belongs.... and let it ROOST ;) Cool vids.

I have a theory that a rear motor car that has the same overall weight distribution as a mid motor car (and no weights hanging out past the front axle) will turn in/rotate much faster than a mid motor car. To simplify handling physics; all cars pivot around the non-steering axle. So if you have inertial leverage on each side of said axle, it should be overall easier to pivot it around. You only need weight on the front at all so that the front tires have authority enough to grip up and get it turning.

I also think that a very wide rear and very narrow front track will be overall better as well. This is due to the strange success of the Nissan Deltawing race car and a couple of chop shop special test rigs built in its honor being described as much faster and more stable to turn in and less likely to understeer, especially from the inside tire.

I noticed hexes on the bandit? Didn’t think they had them on the bandit? Loved the video by the way.

This was more entertaining than it should be. Subscribed sir.

I would like it if Traxxas did make a "Bandit Pro" just so to be in that competitive space as Losi, Associated, X-Ray, Schumacher, Tamiya, Yokomo, and others. It would be a nice callback to the Traxxas Talon, at least.

Man im so loving this Bandit Shmandit BaN-Ditto running so much ive gone and bought a new bandito and 13.5t BL and hobbywing esc combo i thinks 3300 kv and a set of black chrome Tracers with Anaconda tires, low profile savox1256 servo, gens ace 5300 7.4 shorty should be a great start into the track running - NOW to Find A Track !!

Bought one tonight at Big Dog after watching these videos. Box stock with no adjustments and a set of used electrons on JC stadium truck wheels out of the bargain bin got me a 4.8 on the oval. Well worth the money and it looks like a monstrosity lol

I've raced rc for years, good to see people can still have fun and be competitive without breaking the bank. The bandit would make a great spec class, but it's fun to see it can compete with the "big dogs."

Looks like these bandit videos are gonna be the first big step in bringing more traffic to your channel. Wish you luck

[flyingfortressrc]

Bandits are definitely underrated.
Good to see the progress

Love this series. I’ve got a Bandit roller sitting around and was thinking about doing something similar. It’s a good way to show beginners that they don’t have to go all out to have fun on the race track.

Just bought one last fall and it brought back the memories of track days when I was a kid in the 80s. The Bandit, while basic, is a solid and time proven design. With some mods and a decent driver it'll give anything else in class a run for it's money. I'm finally on property that'll allow a track to be built so needless to say what the plans are for myself and the crew for the spring. Looking forward to seeing your future mods!

Digging your content, you need to get a lav mic though. It will boost your production value by light years. You always see 70% more with your ears.
Keep the content coming, thanks again buddy.

Ok you have me thinking about buy a. Bandito. Lol . Really enjoying this

[twc]

Great series man! I too go to BigDog and your first video inspired me to also get a Bandit. So far I have put AKA Slicks 2.2 Super Softs on it, kept the stock motor and esc, put front camber and toe links. I’ll be seeing what I can do with it this Thursday. Just a heads up, I also put the RPM casters and steering knuckles on the front and they bind quite a bit. I think I’ll go for the TRX3736 steering knuckles instead (from the VXL) to get the bearings in there but hopefully not bind. Killer work and great driving you’re doing.

[onefastnitro]

I love your Bandito segments keep them coming I love that you can race a Traxxas bandit up against some of the more expensive brands out there.

[davidbegeotsr]

I like what you're doing there with that bandido I go to that track as well I'll see you there one day

[christiangian]

I love it bro. I am 48 and looking to rally !! I have some toys currently and like I said. ILOVEIT!. peace and love

This has my interest! A couple years ago I built a Bandit to parking lot bash with a friend that has an 8ight-E RTR. Have yet to line them up yet, but on 3s, mine is a missile……….it’s also not remotely legal for the class you’re running it!
