    I purchased the basic brushed Bandit and did all the conversions to upgrade it to a brushless system. I can burn off a set of stock Bandit tires in no time. Street tires are too hard and I get terrible control ability on them. I was told I need to soften the material in the tires with something like brake fluid or something. That seems like a great way to destroy them. I just replace the tires when they are completely worn out any more.

  • @andyb9994
    @andyb9994 11 месяцев назад +5

    The Bandit is definitely overlooked, even the brushed model is very fun, The VXL is crazy fast 💯 and as far as the BL2-S in the TRX I really don't use my TRX as a hard core ROCK crawler, I use for more of a Trail truck as I'm pretty sure that's it's intended use and most people do use it as a trail truck...either way both awesome rigs, great video!!! 👍👍

They even sued HBO for the term "Max" because they thought consumers would be confused between HBO Max and traxxas Maxx....cmon....that is rediculous.
