Cool idea for a thread.  From a previous thread here's my latest Outlaw "evolution" running full front suspension

bandit body on the hi jacker chassis

bitsa mini super bandit / super bandit chassis and motor n box / hopper 9.6v electronics and servo / hi jacker bumper and electronics cover

ive cleaned them up now so i will replace these pics later

nice so far guys

ill have to get some good pictures of my modded bandit!

right now im pondering with the idea of the twin aero hopper tires and wheels for the hobby grade bandit should really look kick azz with those on it, if i do it, ill post up pics of that too

preformer--- i was thinking the high jacker tires would look sweet on it, plus the aero hopper tires aren't the same width.

but you need to do mine! haha

i should beable to do one sometime next month or so. when ya get ready let me know.


yeah the twin tires are a little skinnier, but i think taller too, think it may help keep all 4 wheels on the ground.



i also like the looks of the hi jacker wheels, but dont wanna buy awhole hi jacker for the wheels

the guy on ebay selling tires may have what you want i told him if he finds another hi jacker set that ill buy them,  him dad worked for tyco so he had all these parts from when he died.

if i get those tires i can send you money for parts and the truck.

First Bandit converted to RC18 Suspension





Monster Mutator



Hobby Outlaw





Wild Wild Thing





Worlds fastest Tyco is next on the list

well i did copy the front rc18 mod from you, but luckily i maybee accredited for the rear rc18 set up......lol

well i was gonna wait and take some good pics when my new camera gets here, but i just ripped these off my bandit thread-note the oil filled rear shocks

broke 1 of the battery clips in my bitsa controller today so while i was putting  a pp3 conector on it i decided to put some leds on the controller wernt sure what colour red blue green yellow but when for red ;D

customizin the controller! haha

hahaha think i should of gone for blue leds  tho  :P

yeah, but you can do it to all your controllers haha

that could take a little while im sorting my hobby cars out for a few days so aint got that much time maybe after them  :)

Did you do any IC's in that remote. how Are they connected?  I was thinking using an up/down counter IC hopping it would count the lights up one way then back down but i never tried.  To much work for me now days.

Outlaw Evo -- now with Hella spots :

Nice control mod scorcher mate if you are looking for any leds let me know Tamm

thanks tamm ye ill need more in awhile wernt long ago i bought 1000 leds various colours not tha many left now got some for sale have you

so heres the wee jet hopper ive built for my 8 year old daughter to run along side my grass hopper. got this car as a parts car was only after the shell for my shelfer. first up the hopper wasnt working due to battreys leaking and making a right mess of it so i striped everything out including the servo and fitted hobby grade radio gear on top of them i fitted  a square 9.6v batt pack [ 4 aa long and 2 high. but this made the car too top heavy and caused it to tip over alot. so i striped it down again a cut and trimed the inside of the chassis so i could get a 9.6v flat pack in the bottom nice and low down with the radio gear and BEC speed control on top. this set up seems to work alot better as she hasent rolled it yet.

then the body was removed a put on my shelf queen and a old body painted up to match the basher body on my 14 turn grasshopper.

Rod that's cool i have a 8 year old daughter as well and she about fell over in her chair once she saw the goggley eyes Lil nice touch, now a must for her next RC project

thanks. i cant take the credit for the lights as they where her idea. she had been watching the movie cars that morning. and said to me could we not put some eyes on the car ive got some in my art box that might fit. somtimes kids have the coolest ideas.  :D

True story they really do,,,mine wants to put the wheels and tires off a hammer on the bandit and lift it so she can crush cars with it lol she hates the colors of the hammer so im gonna do it as soon as i find some beaters

sounds like a plan. don't forget to take some pics lol. was thinking a lifted bandit would look cool too. if i had a bandit shell laying around i would be tempted to fit it on a tamiya lunch box. think the Nissan body would look well smart sitting high with the balloon tyres.

did my fast traxx today heres a pic of my hammer traxx  :P

oh man that's awesome !!!!!,,,ive got to finish my lifted bandit

scorcher that looks like my eliminator traxx =] :P

thanks poptart

ye same really just diff colour and has diff lights and the engine in back i did think about using the super bandit but the hammer body looks better need to get some traxx stickers now

It looks like the 4wd chassis. I don't think the blaster body was ever on the 4wd chassis from the factory.

it does doesnt it?,,the blaster normally sits higher up in the back,and the blasters tires are smaller in the front like most 9.6v 2wd hoppers unlike the one in the vid,,he prob took the drive shafts out and just put the blaster body on it.

I saw this Ebay post this morning and it made me laugh:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-TYCO-Fast-Traxx-R-C-RC-Radio-Controlled-Car-w-NEW-9-6v-Batt-Charger-/300677019808?pt=Radio_Control_Vehicles&hash=item4601bf38a0#ht_3433wt_1141

Read the description, you'll know what I mean.  Anyway, it was posted as Buy Now for $999.99 until people started bidding at $99.99  I would not touch that thing for that amount knowing that it has cracks and broken parts. Possibly a stripped H/L gear too.

In his description he goes on about "The Kid Down the Street," I wonder if he's referring to himself? :P

not mine but check this rocket out!!!,,listen to it at 2:00 it screams

thats right, it looks like the chassis for the super turbo hopper i once had.  it was black/blue/yellow.  it had the black shock towers and yellow shocks on it.  now that i think about it, i also once had a red super turbo hopper that it may be from.  i cant recall now.  but definitely a 4wd chassis.

and oh yeah, that guys description of his fast traxx is just dripping with douchebaggery.  i wouldnt give him a nickel. ::)

poptart, that red bandit body with the flo yellow decals looks right on that eliminator chassis ;D

thanks stussels ;D,,,maaaaaan i bout fell out when i read that fast traxx description lmao!!
