Traxxas Bandit vs Team Associated can it Win? Part 1

[@blown96ranger]

i like this. i dont race or own a bandit. the idea of seeing some one put the effort and time into actually seeing what it needs or does not need. to get a beginner basher grade buggy to be competitive intrigues me.

[@caedenthefarmer9918]

lol it won’t ever be actually competitive

[@mxacres]

Thanks. I think it’s going to be pretty fun myself.

[@summetboss727]

I own and race bandits if you spend time on it it can and will win

[@modelnutty6503]

its very much a copy of Associated's old RC10 in the first place, so if its set up correctly it WILL directly compete with one. I liked Traxxas in their early days when they were the budget copycats, its shameful that they are now so litigious. they do make good products, but customers are paying more for those lawyers..

[@ManuelOrtizification]

​@@caedenthefarmer9918 theres actually a guy in the US that races a bandit competitively and wins plenty. Started as a joke but it does a hell of a lot better than everyone thinks

[@jasondessin8962]

What's crazy is when Traxxas first came out they used to have team drivers. Great video.

[@vorteco7692]

Ive raced a bandit many times. With traxxas upgraded shocks, the right springs and oil, and the correct tires for the track the bandit is competitive. I did quite well with it and had 1/10th the cost vs the average car in the class. A few of us ran bandits at that track. It was fun. I did put a few stick on wheel weights on the front to get the weight displacement right. Made a world of difference

[@paulmeier6585]

How much weight did you use, I'm planning on the same.

[@vorteco7692]

@@paulmeier6585 The exact amount will vary. I added a lot. I wanted a 50/50 weight ratio for the front and rear axles.

So, I used to race traxxas back when traxxas raced. TRX1 and SRT. Watching a bandit run those times is testimony to what the 90s were.. just a basic car that worked. Thanks for doing this. Put a quick servo in it, and watch it pull another second off. The amount of time you lost compensating ( quite well! ) for that stock servo would be a huge gain.

I love this series. I think it's a good sign for anybody new into racing that if you want to at least get in an run with guys (maybe not beat but at least be competitive) you can do it for not a ton... Also goes to show how big the right tires are. Can't wait to see part 2. Keep up the good work. Got a sub here.

[@mxacres]

Thank you

[@Pablo668]

Cool vid, fun to watch. Basically the Bandit is a design that lifted it's whole format from what 90's Losi were doing. With a faster servo, adjustable turnbuckles and a better esc/motor, it will probably go quite well.

[@mxacres]

So far so good. Having a lot of fun

[@modelnutty6503]

before Losi was Associated's RC10 with the widened front A-arms and stealth transmission they started doing in 1986. the geometry very similar to the Tamiya Fox (its monocoque chassis IS a pain tho!) was a great handling car.

[@Pablo668]

@@modelnutty6503 thx for that, I have an RC10, I think it's a worlds or close to it. It has the Stealth transmission. It's a bit of a hodge podge to be honest. I bought it 2nd hand.

cool video. i always wanted to see an IROC style race with the top r/c drivers in the world where they all get the same bone stock bandit or something else silly and watch them duke it out.

[@modelnutty6503]

stock class was a lot like that, you could adjust the suspension and choose your pinion was about it. there used to be stock class Tamiya Hornet racing had to be a Hornet or a close clone to enter. 27 turn 20 degree brush timing 05 motor with bushings, required to race.

[@mikee3084]

Did it at the 1986 1/12 roar nats. Gave all A main qualifiers Dustbuster vacuum cleaners and they needed to use the batteries and motors from them for a demonstration race. It didn’t slow them down much. Skill trumps equipment.

[@NikkiNexo777]

I did the same thing with my LCG Slash 2wd. After a few mods, I was turning faster laps with it than my TLR 22SCT 2.0. I won the 2wd mod A-main with the Slash. 😜🤘

Quite easy to make it faster. Swap the ESC and motor, drop the esc down to the chassis tray. Next get proline rear hubs, and proline front hubs...etc. If you need any help give me a shout. Also go with the longer from arms in the front the steering will be a good bit more and run the TLR zero offset wheels in the front.

[@pmckeown25]

It's a Grasshopper / Super Hornet with all the weight taken out of the middle. Beautiful.

[@mxacres]

I was just thinking about a hornet. That was my first kit when I was…. 5th grade?

[@R6Dave11]

Thanks for doing this. It shows all the haters that a basic, old design can still be decent and fun. Traxxas has never really been the go-to for racing but with a few small mods, they can be competitive.

[@mxacres]

I’m definitely finding this out after Wednesday night race. Part two in the works!

[@thatoneguy2756]

@@mxacres back when short course class was in its infancy, I raced the slash 4x4 vxl against many of the early mini buggies that were cloaked under sc bodies. I won many races with it. We also currently race stock bandit carpet offroad indoors, they are silly fun. The differential is the weak link in the handling. The pro version has the good differential but at that point its cheaper to buy a rtr based off of a race platform.

[@88davidw]

This is awesome. I would love to just race bandits instead of pouring money into race cars that aren’t much quicker.

[@PimpedPrevia]

Quite surprised and impressed! I'm gonna send this video to my Dad who own a Bandit. Im a big traxxas fan and I know that they are usually bashing machines more than racing rcs. In the 2wd category between Slash, Rustler and Bandit. The Bandit performs a lot better in cornering. Lately I bought a slash 4x4 ultimate with the LCG chassis. Can't believe how good the handling is. Comparable to a Losi SCT. Great video man! Can't wait for you to upgrade it

[@mxacres]

[@henning.a4646]

Looking forward to se more of this build. I think the advantage the Bandit has is that it is all plastic and light weight.

[@Livlifetaistdeth]

The laws if diminishing returns is going to be interesting to see.

[@will5879]

On a track surface like that, I would try a sealed diff in there. Experiment with the fluid viscosity to balance corner entry and corner exit feel. You should be able to get that car to rotate better through the corners to drop the lap times. A servo upgrade would be nice, nothing real fast or expensive. And I've always ran 1/2 to 3/4 oz. of extra weight up front at the bulkhead for some more on power steering on these rear motor cars.

[@Calcapwn300]

This is the review I’ve been looking for. I e been searching extensively to see if this car can be a racer and not just for drag.

[@scottw2157]

Mudboss uses the slash. I bet if you prepped the diff like we do with mudboss it would drive even better. Basically get all the grease out of the trans diff. Bearings prep the shields and probably be very competitive. Also a thing to remember being a rear motor configuration its characteristics are going to be different. This will definitely be competitive on the club level. A friend of mine and I had did this running off road with the rc10 T and a tamiya Stadium Blitzer. He brought the blitzer out when it was a handout motor race and won.. by a pretty big margin. That was in the early 1993-94ish?

[@grandmackdady]

that is that 272 transmission for you. i will agree the tires that come with them suck and believe it or not the bandit platform has been around for over 28 years now. i had one back when they first came out and they where fast but the transmission would fail all the time from plastic gears. i raced it anyhow and won many races. the only thing i hated was needing to have a spare idler gear because i would strip one out every weekend racing it and i got to where i could change it out in about 5 minutes. i was so happy when they finally did the revision on the transmission making all the gears in metal making them much more dependable

I ran a TRX3, SRT and Blue Eagle LS back in the early-mid 90's and they were great cars. My home track had a lot of factory drivers, so I couldn't win many races regardless of my car, but I let a factory driver run my SRT once and he dominated with it. I am also old enough to remember the team guys experimenting with mid-motor setups, but they didn't feel that they were faster, which is why I am so surprised to see everything has gone that way now. I'm looking to get back into it with my 6yr old son now, and I think I'll just stick to the old school rear motor and see what happens. Also, the Bandit chassis has a longer wheelbase than the TRX3 by about 3/4", so if you can locate and old TRX3 chassis you can shave time off your laps in the corners. Everything should bolt right up to the old chassis.

Aside from carpet and turf.. rear motor beats mid motor 9 out of 10 times. Also, plastic chassis perform better on bumpy tracks vs aluminum. I think that the bandit with a ball diff, savox, shocks and glued servo saver upgrade can match the associated time even without a brushless upgrade. You probably could have reduced your lap times by another second by just adding a 40 gram weight to the front.

[@GroundSwellRacing]

So a 25.3 with the stock pinion. Was the lap time much slower with the 31, that had to have made it more lazy in the corners? I just bought a bandit for our backyard astro track. Bone sock and with only changing the tires I am also only a second or less off of my buddies lap times that are RB6's with mod motors. I'm gonna go up one tooth on the pinion to see how that closes the gap, maybe two but I can't see it needing more than that.
