I am looking to really build out the GoKaioken community. I do video game live streams, videos with RC cars, Vlogs, and all sorts of other stuff. Willing to make it a full time gig and quit my job (who wouldn’t!) if the growth is there. Feel free to check out the rest of my channel. I try to organize most of my videos into Playlists so you can check out what you are most interested in. :)

I cannot help but add a comment here. Your crash impressed me as to the durability of the Traxxas Bandit. I did a few changes to my Stock Bandit, including a brushless set up, new gearing and rear axle carriers with Fast Eddie bearings( mine had the bushings which immediately wore out). I have decided I am done upgrading mine as it is Fast enough for me. I have the Slash Ultimate if I want to go stupid crazy fast. The Bandit is a fun all around car the way I have it now.

I just ordered the parts for my bandit 👍🥂I switched back didn't even get to run it I was afraid of over heating it got pretty hot on mine

[johnramirez]

Also to help with front end i put some tire weights on the front. Maybe shift stuff towards the front. Has plenty of traction. Lower front to. Needs down pressure to help hold it down for faster runs and more control. Been doing nitro for awhile. New to electric. I just got brave and bought lipo batteries. 6200mah 2s 50c. Picked up the power from nimh. Still afraid of them 😆.

This is one of the videos that show why we buy hobby rc cars and not rc toys.

try to see if you can mount canards in the front like the F1 cars have, at that speed the down force will REALLY help 1 lots of traction for the front and helps with the wheelies

I see this in the comments but not in the same comment. Lower both front and back. Use anaconda street tires from traxxas $50 for front and back. See if you can find a bigger wing for it to increase downforce. On the bandit the shape and weight of the front end causes it to act like a wing. You could also try to add some front end weight with metal steering bushings and shocks etc

Edit: I see you have the tires on yours already. I’m going to leave it in my original comment for new people starting out. My suggestion for you at the end of the video is to play with your shock spacers to lower it. Lower it 10-15% more in the front than the back. Make sure there’s enough room that you don’t damage the chassis on bumps and potholes

It’s amazing the beating these things can withstand. 😲

[therealsyxx]

Great video. And the way you explain every single thing you are doing step by step is how you make a great instructional video. Most people that do these vids move to fast and they dont explain everything step by step or what issues you may run into. They simply do it in front of a camera, not even up close, and expect you to understand it. Especially for newbs.

I’m looking forward to getting the bandit it’s my first traxxas car

[rclunatic]

What was the shaft size on the motor you were running in this video that made you need to use that reducer

[kirkmartin]

Where are you getting your new wheelie bar?

[Greentyphon]

I have the slash with gear ratio of 25/36 she will blow belted tires apart it’s to too fast

[Dd-ujtl]

what is traxxas part number for 24:36 gears ?

[_Chri_]

with this gear upgrade will it be able to hit 70 mph

[ribbledean]

I just did my bandit, it’s stupid fast, do u no of an tires that may last a little longer

[chavezc]

Hello, new to RC. Why remove the slipper clutch? Would that cause the motor to strip gears?

[Dd-ujtl]

what gear set up would do 50 mph on a stock brushed bandit ? how long is the run time before esc and motor damage ?

[exleyhackwell]

What kind of drivers are those? With the gold bits? I like the design

[bmorr]

What battery are you using? I’m thinking about upgrading from the stock NiMH

[choke]

Freakin badass dude! Ive wanted a Bandit for a long time. We put mod1 crazy pinion/spur gear ratio's on our Slash's and Rustler. Its a kick in the pants. Got about 70mph on the Rustler and about 62 with the Slash then it back flipped from air gettin under the body.
