Bought my first Traxxas vehicle yesterday. Purple RTR Drag Slash, she's pretty also and I'm almost afraid to run it because of that, will be purchasing a shelf queen body. But there are no clubs in my area, which is about 75 miles north of you, so I run mine on the street and it's stirred up some interest in the hood, will see what happens. That is a nice looking car you have and I want to build my own also that's how I came across this video, I know this is 2 yrs old but interesting content, good job with that build, I've been bitten by the drag bug.
Tech advice Down to Earth, This is what the Hobby is all about. 20 yrs. Ago I raced with Great guys at the Top of The World(outside of Albany) they built the best mods out of scratch, Well ahead of the manufacturer. If we had patent s on all their upgrades, we could retire. Thanks from an Old man in Georgia.
I just built the Slash conversion NP Drag Car with the Proline Octane body, with this body I didnt need to use Bandit Arms the original Slash Arms work.. nice job on your build the Vette body looks Awesome \m/
The pro line bodies are extremly durable...I have bash mine till death and is still really sharp I dont know what kind of witchcraft if this pro line... but keep It up
I was wanting to build one also, but using the 4x4 LCG so the motor is inside the frame, converting to 2wd. So that would take much more work, but, would not have the motor hanging off the back, but that may give more traction
Afternoon,I like how you painted your bodyshell,I've been looking for the video when you take traxxas bandit parts & put them onto a slash log chassis that all my freinds tell me about that I carnt find hope you have a fun start of the week.thank you Andy Timson from England
There is no rc community where I'm from... I'm a lone wolf... u guys should be getting that servo I sent Ethan by Monday.. hopefully u guys can show the servo in a video.. that would be hella sick
@@10thScaleGarage thanks so much I appreciate it so much...btw how hard was it to do all that and what was your grand total because idk if ill have enough money for this after all in just 13...and did you put the rear wheelie bar on? And will it fit on the bandit xl5
Nice build and awesome paint job! Just wondering, Is there a considerable difference in ride height between the stock chassis vs the LCG chassis? Or is it morely to lower the battery and electronics?
Thanks! Good question. I’m not sure you could get the body low enough…. I’ve never seen anyone try to run the HCG chassis, but with enough choppin’ you might be able to get it to fit.
@@10thScaleGarage awesome thank you! I’ve got a bandit Vxl and I was looking for something like this! What do you think about the iroc camaro body from proline?
Good question. Most of the parts I used are out of stock, and I can’t remember how much they were. I was super close to $300 before you put a battery and body on the car. $300 should get you the chassis that is ready to go. Just slam a battery in it and a body on it and let it rip. It’s worth mentioning that you can build it for cheaper than I did. Some of the parts I used are optional and you could totally go with some less-expensive components.
Do you think, since the parts are already, out of stock,lol, and that wasn't all that long ago, is the better option just to get the dr10 associate rc drag car , for like $319, just to get started?
I remember you telling me that you can make them really fast! Believe it or not, that’s still the same power system from the original bandit. Just bigger wheels and chassis. I haven’t even changed the gearing yet.
Good question. Remember, before you change the wheels you have to get the actual 12mm hubs, as the bandit doesn’t come with any. After that, any wheels will fit the chassis, but I’m not sure what wheels will fit under the body.
The rustler arms are too long. The wheels would stick out past the body, but maybe that would look sweet. You would still need to convert it over to the slash chassis, obviously.
They do. The only thing you need are 12mm hexes. Make sure you get the Traxxas hexes, as they’re a little deeper than regular ones. The part number is listed in the description.
@@10thScaleGarage I think the only difference is the main chassis, suspension looks the same but the chassis is just a long thin tub instead of the wedge shape. Found a conversion kit for a bandit chassis on ebay
Ok so let's say someone wanted to sell me one of these already converted and I had a slash lcg 4wd roller how hard would it be to swap everything over to the roller to turn it into a drfiter?
Those are 10th scale touring cars….. quite a bit different than a 10th scale drag car…. You could do it, but there isn’t a lot of support for that chassis getting converted to drag. Finding wheels and tires that fit might be hard. Let me know if you do! I’m interested to see what you come up with.
Only a person whom is ether extremely rich or is extremely fake clames the something is dirt cheap when in real world actually its value is in the Hundreds of dollars especially in these day and times
It's the cheapest 10th scale model Traxxas makes. Cost is all relative. Compared to other models, it's dirt cheap. I'm not rich, so I guess I'm a big fat phoney. Thanks for your criticism.

Thank you!
GANGSTA AF!! This is 2 cool bro! Looking great👍👍
Thanks dude!
That Corvette body is sick!
Hey thanks
Absolutely i want to build one. Thanks for sharing the video info. I still weighing the options. But its in the works
I just priced this build for a friend. $317 for everything except a body and paint. Not bad.
Fantastic job thanks for the info on bandit I am going to try it this weekend

cool conversion,great video
Thanks Duke! See you tonight!
All show no go that titan 12t lookin good lol
It’s got something different in it now. Haha.
I was wanting to build one also, but using the 4x4 LCG so the motor is inside the frame, converting to 2wd. So that would take much more work, but, would not have the motor hanging off the back, but that may give more traction
Not to mention, motors that are parallel with the wheels are way smoother.

Iv heard you say drift car in both Traxxas drag car videos iv watched. Anyway cool video man
Ugh. I know……..
the vxl bandit has pin front wheels and hex on the back.. upgrade it to have the vxl set up as the bandit on 3s is insane
I’ve done it since thus video. It’s a beast!
Yep I want one
Zero regrets.
Hey,what may I ask are you going to do next ? I've watched your 2wd slash/bandit video it was great.
Yeah the bandit is a “pin drive” instead of hexes. Just get some aluminum hexes and ya G2G
Exactly
That is sweeeet!!!!🤜🤛
Hey thanks Mike! Turned out pretty awesome!
hey, nice job. Great Vidéo 🙏👍
Thank you Fred Fred!
Hey almost done with my conversion how do I take the bandit wing of of the shock tower
I think there are just two retainer screws holding the metal frame or the wing to the shock tower.
Sweet
Glad you like it!
Nice
Thanks

That thing is sickkk with those mods😎🔧, how are the axels gonna hold up?
Only one way to find out! I assume they’ll be fine with the brushed setup. We’ll see what’s the weakest link when it gets a brushed system in it.
@@10thScaleGarage Ive run the factory vxl brushless system on 3s with stock axles beating on it, no issues only broken axles where 30+mph crashs
That’s cool

Thanks! Good question. I’m not sure you could get the body low enough…. I’ve never seen anyone try to run the HCG chassis, but with enough choppin’ you might be able to get it to fit.
Quick question! did you buy the entire conversion kit for the 2wd body, or just the chasis
Just the chassis.
@@10thScaleGarage awesome thank you! I’ve got a bandit Vxl and I was looking for something like this! What do you think about the iroc camaro body from proline?
I was taking a deeper look into this. How did you mount the front steering since it is on the top for the bandit?
Did you ever put a brushless setup on that bandit?
YES!
What was the total cost, with car and parts when finished??? Does it end up being over $300???
Good question. Most of the parts I used are out of stock, and I can’t remember how much they were. I was super close to $300 before you put a battery and body on the car. $300 should get you the chassis that is ready to go. Just slam a battery in it and a body on it and let it rip.

I personally like my bandit more, but by the time you put a brushless system in it, the prices are super similar.
I gave you the idea remember
I remember you telling me that you can make them really fast! Believe it or not, that’s still the same power system from the original bandit. Just bigger wheels and chassis. I haven’t even changed the gearing yet.

Converting my slash hasn’t been very cheap 🤔
It adds up quick!
@@10thScaleGarage after I thought I got all I needed I seen I was missing few parts still 😞🤣
@@10thScaleGarage I literally just got the last part today OMG WHAT A PAIN
Does the Original Bandit body fit on it?
Nope. The LCG slash body is longer.
@@10thScaleGarage A! Thanks.
Will any standard 12mm hex work in place of the stock wheels?
Good question. Remember, before you change the wheels you have to get the actual 12mm hubs, as the bandit doesn’t come with any. After that, any wheels will fit the chassis, but I’m not sure what wheels will fit under the body.
will this work on the rustler?

Do I need the lcg slash chassis? Looking into a full bandit conversion for my stampede and don't want to buy two chassis's.
I believe the stampede, rustler and Stampede chassis are the same.
