-
no way you want that black one. what a surprise! fyi i got extra traxx on ebay today!
-
my red ftraxx i bought from pendimic has pretty decent traxx on it. their pretty snugg fitting still but i was thinking of buying some of those replacements just for later, what i really need is a battery cover since the one that came with it was broken but for now tape works!! actually i dont mind it not being perfect cause i dont mind beatin on it in the parking lots and anywhere else i can put it thrue
-
Absolutely! All my cars see action and take a beating I just wish I had two of each!!! So I could keep one nice

carefull............how you think i ended up with so many bandits............iam bandit rich now just because i wanted a nice one to put up.........my beater bandit sold earlier for a fair price i suppose, but before there were any bids i started to end the auction just because i started thinking i may miss it..........looks like ill be shippin off wanna ma eliminators too......iam probaly not gonna like that!!!

hey they have replacements on ebay right now!
-
I don't see any post the link! And I would like to have two of each and FYI I was the first bid on your bandit, felt bad since no one bid. But I can't afford two of each haha, I'll never get a second super fast traxx, seeing the price they go for!
-
that bandit i sold on ebay worked fine and looked ok, but after seeing that other member here sell that black one in the box minus remote-but in real nice shape- for 80 i put that one at 50 which was the lowest id take since it isnt real super nice...........it was kinda like the red fast traxx to me for the fact i didnt mind beatin on it. the eliminator did good enuff since i only payed 80 or so for 2 and sold one for 70 something.
-
very true, i did kinda want that bandit though bummer i missed it
-
have you seen the red one on ebay? its a pretty nice lookin bandit, without the box i doubt it will bring what he wants but he does have best offer on it too you never know,maybee able to get a deal
-

the guy whos selling that bandit and the other cars lives about 10 mins from me, and he always has sky high prices for his cars.
-
he has a clist ad for it for 260 bucks
-
he has a clist ad for it for 260 bucks
if only they were worth that much.
-
the first bandit i bid on was a red one in the box, i thought when i bid 200 i was for sure gonna win......ha that wouldnt have gotten me the box at the time, now that folks are sorta broke there not bringing near as much. most of mine i got reasonable except the 2 in boxes.......i knew i was payin out the nose for them but wanted'em bad..........sux they were like 49 bucks new
-
yeah i like the red bandit too haha, but not for that price.
-
lol thats about 3 cars now ;D
-
i offered him 40 bucks for the blaster =p haha
-
i offered him 40 bucks for the blaster =p haha
the ad on CL?
-
no on ebay the guy had a bunch listed and he wanted 95 for a blaster
-
no on ebay the guy had a bunch listed and he wanted 95 for a blaster
offer 80$ instead, 95$ is that even worth it?
-
for a blaster not in the box, no. i would old go 60 maybe 65. but i just bought a scorcher 80$, ps1 with lcd screen 80$, and replacement fast traxx treads 40$. i think i need to stop spending haha
-
i offered him 40 bucks for the blaster =p haha
40 is a fair price i think, ive seen several nice ones go less than 50, sometimes they dont even get bid on unless the opening bids less than 35 or so
-
yeah but this guy priced everything way over.
-
dont look like he sold anything but the scorcher
-
he sold that?! there ere to listed, i got the one for 65, didn't he price that for around 150 or something?? wow
-
yep, ot was around the 150ish mark but cant remember exact, guess it was mint in box
-
lol that scorcher was the only good priced item
-
the one i got is in da box too ;D
-
how do you like it? my friend had one once but ma other friend had the fast traxx which i liked but i never tried the scorcher. looks like it would do alot of bouncing.......
ope, just remembered a cool lil tyco i had once, if run across it yu should give it a try it was called the stunt boss 360. handled like a scorcher or fast traxx but had 4 wheels with a wheel base of maybee 6 inches and ran on a 6.v battery but it would fly
-
i dont know yet it hasn't come yet! it will be for my brother, for christmas, so he wont see it for awhile, but i will get to play with it because he is at a camp but i cant wait till it comes!! but the car your talking about ill look up!!!
ill tell you if it bounces or not.
anyone no the difference between brushless and brushed? cause i wanna make the super fast traxx alot faster than the fast traxx.
-
brushed is what your fast traxx has now, the only way to change to brushless is to buy all new esc and remote and then it would have to be for dual motors, will cost you a bundle not to mention that the gears in the fast traxx will not last long at all. also you cant just upgrade your stock brushed motor with a hobby type motor because they draw to much on the stock electronics, so you would have to go with a brushed hobby type motors and brushed esc and you would need a new tx and probally still the gears wont last. i almost burned a bandits electronics up trying to upgrade to hobby motor with stock electronics, the stocks wouldnt even hardly spin the motor but sure heated everything up on the board, so i abandon it.
there is one thig i seen a guy do on another forum that i was gonna do to my regular fastraxx which is what he had but it would work on your super, he found an old r/c boat with dual motors that had digital proportioning steering and ran off a 14.0 volt battery, he put the boats electronics into the fast traxx which function just the same with 2 forward and reverse sticks, then used a laptop battery which fits on the top of the chassis instead of the bottom,,,,,which cures the battery cover door problems.... then bought a new hobby type hummer body and mounts and it looks kick azz, also said its awhole lot faster than stock
-
heres you a link to the hummer fast taxx i mentioned above.....looks like a pretty simple deal, in fact soon as i find the right parts iam gonna try, that hummer on the ftraxx looks cool
http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=473825&page=2
-
yeah ive seen that before. sadly evrything you said is gibrish to me, i have no knowledge of electronics. so basically i should leave it alone haha
-
i just stumbled onto something, the tyco mutator that i had steered like a fast traxx, is that how yours does? i just seen a taiyo edge mutator same thing but black but the wheels turn left and right, i also seen one on youtube
-

lmfao good one!
-
you know whats sad i already emailed that guy, but no response. :-\ haha
-
lmao........yeah i had a deal workin on cl for a rebound in the box like new with battery and when i said shipping he quit replying
-
no one has answered me on craigslist and ive emailed quite a few, and yeah my mutator runs like my fast traxx, i like that the edge mutator turns the front wheels.
-
Hey czstycor, I have a mutator if your interested..would prob make a good parts car....
-
haha doesnt run anymore ehh?
-
runs...but the front bumper has a piece broken off..and one of the rear shocks that help it raise doesnt seem to wanna work anymore
-
bummer its a cool little truck, but i wouldnt have use for the edge version i have the tyco one
-
This is the tyco version...its 49mhz, purple and green...
-
really? i didn't think a shock raises it.
-
well not excatly, but it does mutate right...but one side doesnt want to...like I said great for parts, cause you never know..lol
-
haha yeah my one gear is slipping or stripping on the left motor of the mutator
-
Yeah I only ran this guy a few times, about a year ago...picked it up at a goodwill...fast, but has way too much weight..
-
yeah but i will say its the only one i havent needed to fix out of my buch haha so heavy but a rock!
-
yeah, I hear that
-
wish it was faster haha
