After some thought, I am not allowed to sell here. I will put it up for adoption in the classifies. Sorry about all of this.
LOL.
It handles better in a dirt environment.That thing is "ready for flight"!! Really sharp brother
Adoption?! Ooh, I've never adopted before..
2wd buggies need a prepped surface to properly strut their stuff, or asphalt. Even on 2s though, hard to handle the speed they are capable of.
. This is on 3s., Not too bad on asphalt. It just does not work for me. I bought a Typhon for a buggy.
I agree, I'm all dirt with my rc's. With the exception of one, the Bandito. If the track is too wet and muddy, I break out the Bandit and let it fly up and down the street on 3s.. what a nut on 3s!!It handles better in a dirt environment.
The Xo is fast. Just not fast enough. It has a safety thing. You have to unlock. Really? Buy one and let me know.
Not me brother. I don't do road cars. I haven't the space or desire. I agree, TRX put a "Nanny" in the XOXO, trying to be responsible or some nonsense I suppose. I mean if someone has $1k to spend on an rc, that someone should have at least some common sense, no? Not according to TRX I guess, they gonna tell you what you can or can't do with your toy.The Arrma limitless is called that for a reason. It is limitless because you have to add your own motor, ESC and such. It is truly Limitless. I think the record it has is like 220mph? I could be wrong. But I'm close.
I retired my Hoss for a Notto, replaced my rusty for a Typhon, retired my bandit, because I hate it.
.Fly a kite.
Oh idk why I thought it was a 79.That’s not a ‘79… 1979 had the urethane nose with separated headlamps. That’s supposed to be a 1977 in the 1st Bandit movie, but they were all modified 1976 cars. The Bandit Edition cars available to the public were all 1977, prior to the other films.
Don't get me wrong the Bandit looks like a nice buggy but I just didn't find it very fun to drive as the VXL 3s system is not right for the track I drive it on. I think it needs a higher kv motor with less gearing but I'm not sure.View attachment 364987

I have an XO-1! I am thinking of selling it this summer. I only got it one other Dec or Jan so I haven't run it more than a few times and in stock form. Not long ago I bought a Felon 6s. It is just more useful for my purposes. I can't decide whether to convert it to 8s since I have a Castle Mamba 8s laying around. I forget what the motor that came with ot is. Something like 1250kv. I take it the Felon motor can't handle 8s. What I was really wondering is if all the telemetry dodads will work if I switch over.
With which car and how would you do that? With the dual motor conversion?
Is it worth it? I mean I suppose if one already has the Bandit with upgrades maybe, but to buy a VXL Bandit, then perform a mid motor conversion seems counterintuitive to me. I'd just start with a proper race buggy. I like that the Bandit and Rustler can accept most any 2 or 3s standard battery pack, I don't really like the idea of having batteries that only fit one vehicle myself. Then again, I don't do any real racing. Just banging around the track at my house that I made. I can't be bothered to travel just to run rc's. I used to back when, but not anymore. Carpet and dirt oval is really all there is round here, meh. No thanks.✌
Yep. Nitro rustler chassis, and nitro rustler plastic set from Jennys RC. Assuming you've got a Rusty already.
IDK, I just love building Traxxas 2WDs into something different. Also real race buggies are a bit outa my budget. I'd just find a Bandit slider and see what I can do with it to make it as fast 'round a track as possible.
You'd lose the telemetry, but be in a whole new realm of POWA!
That's what I thought. I already have the parts and the batteries from my Losi DBXL-E 2. I figure I'll just learn to drive it as it is to get the practice!
Well I'm all for building stuff out to fit my needs.. on the cheap especially!! I guess I understand better now!
