Love the traxxas content! My best buddy and I started racing bandits on a home built track years ago and he would kick my butt! I did all the mods to compete with his stock bandit. The only way to make us even was when I got my associated factory team but I enjoyed my bandit more in many ways. We then switched over to the traxxas slash for our racing series a few years later, and once again I dumped tons of money in mine just to keep up with his stock truck and once again it wasn’t till I got a factory team truck that we became even again( he was just so much more skilled then me!) . Now the trucks mostly just hang in the garage and your content may be the only thing stopping me from selling them. I moved away and don’t have the group of buddies here to race with so your content reminds me of the great times we had competing at my buddy’s home built track that all started with a couple of bandditos 😊
I still am all about the bandit content. Yeah its never going to be an associated or the like, but its just showcasing that you dont need throw a stupid amount of cash at something to race, especially if there is a stock bandit class. Interested to see the bandit with sway bars and a mod motor in it.
@@afull180 Thanks! Yeah for sure. We have an outdoor track about 20-minutes away but it is a VERY large track. With that, the one 90-minutes away is super nice! I have talked with my wife and we're thinking a trip once every month or two would be fun.
They run them in water for a certain amount of time to break them in. It's got something to do with the carbon brushes! Watched a video of some circle track guys doing it !
5 of us at my local track are starting a "Rustler 17.5" class, partially based on your successes with the Banditos. Stock Rustler sliders, Hobbywing Justock 17.5 ESC/Motor combo, Adjustable Camber Links. We ordered 5 sliders and ESC/Motor combos from our LHS this past weekend and are going to run a few practice nights together to see what setups work. It's going to be a casual class but with actual written rules as we have issues with some other classes being too vague and kind of "anything goes". (Like 1/8 Truggies in 1/10 Novice...) Those of us starting it want to just have fun and don't WANT it to be a build-it-to-the-letter-of-the-rules class, but it stops being fun when someone comes and says "oh hey I have this stock VXL, can I run with you?"
Dude I love these videos. We all love a good underdog story but for whatever reason this one ids very enjoyable. Maybe it’s the humor you sprinkle in or the fact that you’re never to serious, either way I love it! Keep up the great work! Can’t wait to see what you’re gonna do with a crawler too.
Man that track looks awesome. I live in TX but work remote for a company in Lititz PA. Next time I come up to the office I need to make a short trip with my bandit and slash and run it out there.
These guy is great. I’m new to RC so I just want to have some fun and these that it’s possible to play w/out going broke. I’ve only been to 2 tracks but having and entry point like the Slash and Bandit seems like a good idea. Slash racing is why I went to my local track.
Awesome video! The Bandit is a dinosaur but a pretty capable one! I just got mine up to 86 mph on the stock electronics this past weekend. It does it all.😆
We have chickens in our backyard and I'm pretty sure I heard a chicken sound inserted into your video...props for that and many egg-blessings upon your and your future endeavors! Nice work with the "stock" bandit...what servo was that? 🤷♂ The difference your channel has is the "real" factor for me...keep it real and knarly, thank you!! I have a few bandit builds that would be inspiring to you (both a rear motor and mid-motor build) if you are interested, I never got the chance to race them but if you are interested let me know and I'll send you pics/video. The rear motor version is a Bandit-R (as I call it) and is saweeet. The mid-motor version is a Factory Works one of a kind. Let me know. I enjoy your vids, keep it real and keep em coming.
What was the dark blue buggy hanging off of your shelf? Im having such a blast watching this series, thanks a bunch and keep it up! Also thanks for answering all my questions. Have a great day
On the Oval, it shaved about .2 from my lap. I did buy it to replace the used one in there that had been bashed to hell so I think your mileage may vary with those. I'm happy I bought it but I think I'd have been better buying a trinity pack lol.
We are not. Pretty far for us to travel, but maybe some day! Having technical issues right now. New videos ready to go and hopefully have them up this week.
Hey, do they sell shock pistons that have no holes so you can drill them, yourself? What's the difference between adding/enlarging holes vs just changing shock oil weight?
Hi, awesome videos about the bandit. I use to have it but got rid of it. Thinking in getting another bandit. Will you recommend the brushed bandit or is it worth it getting the vxl bandit with Velineon sys and the 272r magnum transmission. Thanks
I only have experience with the brushed version. And having a 17.5 brushless system in it. I can tell you I’m currently working on a video about the kyosho dirt master with the same 17.5 and esc I had in the bandit last winter. This kyosho May be my favorite yet!
Can you only order mod 12 turn Traxxas motors from your guys shop. Plus I used to run team associated alot a mod Ae buggy you can definatley tell witch ones slower and wich ones faster.
I'm big fan of your videos an I was wondering did you try the magnum 272R transmission in the bandit yet I have a bandit I was want to buy that transmission try it at my track but don't know
Getting my bandito ready to race at my local track
Go gettem!
New title for the video “Bandito kicks more ass”.
Great video. This is an inspiration to all the Bandit racers.
Another episode that holds down the title, this is best series on TH-cam.
🍻 thank you
Man I wish there was a track like this, or any track, near me.
Dude, these videos are Grreat! Added sound effects, food , interviews, just the whole vibe....Awesome job. Camera guy deserves a atta boy as well.
Thank you for watching!!
Your regular track looks like a blast to race at. I love how a whole class has developed from your experiment, complete with sombreros.
12:23 😂🤣😂
Smooth and steady with the ol Bandito! Love these videos man!
Can't wait for the next!
Thanks!!

I wish we had a nice indoor track like that locally. Closest one is 90-minutes away. Great driving as usual!!!
Are you in Colorado?
@@afull180 Nope! SD. We just moved from Alaska where we had no tracks and couldn't even get batteries for the cars.
@@27Zangle sweet, welcome to the contiguous. Wish we both had closer tracks.
Thanks

Blown away by the sprinkler system.... what a setup they have there!
It is very nice
I love this series so much, I prepped a bandit to run at my local track.
Nice!!
They run them in water for a certain amount of time to break them in. It's got something to do with the carbon brushes! Watched a video of some circle track guys doing it !
Thats it, more even wear on the brushes. Running them dry tends to chip the brushes, doesnt make a huge difference, but its definitely measurable
Love the added sound effects

That’s awesome! You guys are gonna start something for sure.
If nothing else, the difference in ballooning of the tires between the stock and KHD motor says a lot.

Thanks! Yes, my wife thinks I’m hilarious 😏
Loving the race videos
Thanks for watching!🍻
Awesome stuff! 👍👍. Keep'em coming!
Thank you
in the words of marky mark "i saw you eattin lunch alone"
That motor looks awesome.....not a bad price...gonna order me one......👍
Enjoy it
Great vids. Keep it going!!
Thanks 🍻
These videos are always so good ! Always look forward to the new one but watch the old ones all the time 👍
Thank you!
Man this is such a nice setup you guys got there 🏁👍🏻 Wish I had a track like that near me I would be all over it great fun 🏁🏁🏁💪🏻🇬🇧
Another classic Bandito episode, love it. Oh, and watch out, the pit inspector is here 😂
Bandido for life 😂
Man that track looks awesome. I live in TX but work remote for a company in Lititz PA. Next time I come up to the office I need to make a short trip with my bandit and slash and run it out there.
That would be awesome. Safe travels!

Thanks man! Buggies sound pretty sweet. Now get out there and sell them eggs for Rc parts!🐣
Stock bandit should include traxxas bandit wheels, just add the protires
Oh no. Stock wheels are way ugly
What was the dark blue buggy hanging off of your shelf? Im having such a blast watching this series, thanks a bunch and keep it up! Also thanks for answering all my questions. Have a great day
Losi xxx. eBay project I haven’t started yet.
On the Oval, it shaved about .2 from my lap. I did buy it to replace the used one in there that had been bashed to hell so I think your mileage may vary with those. I'm happy I bought it but I think I'd have been better buying a trinity pack lol.
!!!!!!! 🔥
Khd is one of the best. If anyone has any questions let me know and I’ll help the best I can, and if I can’t I can direct you to someone who can.
Life must be busy!!! I'm wondering if you all going to the Desert Classic race here in Tempe, AZ at Hobby Action this weekend.
We are not. Pretty far for us to travel, but maybe some day! Having technical issues right now. New videos ready to go and hopefully have them up this week.
How long have you been doing rc for? Awesome content it's so original
I think it's when they brake the motor in submerged in water.
We used to do that to the 12 turn, in the slash. Hook to a D cell battery to it and let it run under water until it dies.
@@bigseff23 until the battery dies?
@@afull180 yeah takes about 10 minutes
Wow that is incredibly close when u factor in the cost difference, what is the bandit half the price??
Hey, do they sell shock pistons that have no holes so you can drill them, yourself? What's the difference between adding/enlarging holes vs just changing shock oil weight?
No sure about that. I suppose larger hole would be similar to thinner oil.
You need to try losi offset front wheels
Hi, awesome videos about the bandit. I use to have it but got rid of it. Thinking in getting another bandit. Will you recommend the brushed bandit or is it worth it getting the vxl bandit with Velineon sys and the 272r magnum transmission. Thanks

@mxacres awesome I'll keep an eye. Thanks
What offset wheels do you use on your Bandits for the slicks?
Ae b6.3 wheels
Yo what wing are you running on that bandit? looks great and the stock one is awful.
Front is ae b6.3 and rear is tekno eb410 mount and ae wing trimmed down.
Can you only order mod 12 turn Traxxas motors from your guys shop. Plus I used to run team associated alot a mod Ae buggy you can definatley tell witch ones slower and wich ones faster.
I think Jon can get you anything you need at the hobby shop.
I'm big fan of your videos an I was wondering did you try the magnum 272R transmission in the bandit yet I have a bandit I was want to buy that transmission try it at my track but don't know
I have not. And thank you!
Sloppy Paul Walker pass at 9:29
what gearing you runnin
The (raced prepped) is just setting the brushed nothing special easy to do your self
Race prepped means ran in water.
Has youtube blocked you? Haven't seen a video in awhile. Hope all is good.
No not blocked, but having a technical issue. I have a few new videos ready to go. Hopefully have it ready to go this week. Thanks 👍🏻
I was about to ask if everything was alright. Hope your tech issues work out quickly for you, and looking forward to the new videos
would an ae body fit the bandit?
It will not.
Bandidos channel
What battery do you run with the bandit?
Protek 6400
@@mxacres but the 130c dont burn the brushed motor?
Nope. Hasn’t yet anyway
First
How far do you have to travel to your LHS?
30 minutes
