Title: 4x4 bandit set!!!
Post by: czstycor/c on December 15, 2010, 14:04:10
well, i don't have a regular bandit to my name. BUT i have both 4x4 bandits the 27 mhz it complete. the 49mhz doesn't have the original remote and i made two battery covers, but its still pretty.

Title: Re: 4x4 bandit set!!!
Post by: czstycor/c on December 15, 2010, 22:18:56

Title: Re: 4x4 bandit set!!!
Post by: performerrpm on December 16, 2010, 03:51:00

yes you could put the bigger tires on the back and even the front possibly, but you wouldn't be able to turn the truck and, if it hit any bump or dip the tires would rub the body.

funny, i only wanted a really nice red bandit. haha

funny, i only wanted a really nice red bandit. haha


the story of my life, how i ended up with 6-7 tycos, and a dozen more in between
Title: Re: 4x4 bandit set!!!
Post by: czstycor/c on December 17, 2010, 14:10:09
well, i figure now i have the two rarest(at least i think) so i might as well hang on to them for a little bit haha maybe just collect them all....

the door is 3 and 5/16th inches long and 2 and 3/8ths inches wide. including the tabs it is 2 and 5/8ths. the tabs are around 1/4 of an inch wide.

Post by: performerrpm on December 17, 2010, 15:17:05
the red one looks alot better than the blue one.




Title: Re: 4x4 bandit set!!!
Post by: czstycor/c on December 17, 2010, 18:23:32
you mean like cooler or meaner? cause the blue is in the same condition.
Title: Re: 4x4 bandit set!!!
Post by: performerrpm on December 17, 2010, 22:58:02
as in cooler!



ps wanna get rid of the twin aero hopper?
Title: Re: 4x4 bandit set!!!
Post by: czstycor/c on December 18, 2010, 00:23:54
haha, that is a rare one! it is from before they changed the stickering on the spoiler. i guess is would depend on a price-- there is no remote to it.

and the red one does pop more but, this is the only blue one in tact that i've seen. i love them both haha

Man, Those are too cool! I've always wanted ona those.
Title: Re: 4x4 bandit set!!!
Post by: czstycor/c on December 18, 2010, 09:33:53
it seems people like them haha
Title: Re: 4x4 bandit set!!!
Post by: SavedONE on December 18, 2010, 22:12:35
-the 2wd Bandit would be neat to run w/narrow fronts on the rear, it'd increase the GP, & give it more traction w/less rotating mass, not to mention just plain ol' weighing less. 
Title: Re: 4x4 bandit set!!!
Post by: czstycor/c on December 18, 2010, 23:16:50
yeah it would be nice!

Title: Re: 4x4 bandit set!!!
Post by: performerrpm on December 19, 2010, 18:11:11

Post by: performerrpm on December 19, 2010, 19:40:15
you see those eliminators on ebay? the pink stickered one dont look bad, those yellow eliminators have been swapped out cause there suppose to be 49 mhz, i was gonna buy the pair ofem and make a nice one for my pink one, but its 27mhz also
Title: Re: 4x4 bandit set!!!
Post by: performerrpm on December 19, 2010, 19:41:27
that bandit will probaly side track you from those 4x4's maybee not the fast traxx tho, there hard to beat
Title: Re: 4x4 bandit set!!!
Post by: czstycor/c on December 19, 2010, 19:48:47
yeah i got the 2 yellow ones, and there was a pink eliminator body on that didn't sell so ill get it when its relisted.

but i think i'll still pay attention to the 4x4's they are only 400 a piece, withremotes its extra! haha =p
Title: Re: 4x4 bandit set!!!
Post by: performerrpm on December 19, 2010, 22:31:00
theres a complete pink one listed for another day, pretty nice accorse, it the same freq as the ones you have coming, i used to have a almost new yellow one
Title: Re: 4x4 bandit set!!!
Post by: czstycor/c on December 19, 2010, 22:33:34
yeah i saw that one.
Title: Re: 4x4 bandit set!!!
Post by: performerrpm on December 19, 2010, 22:53:22
its upto 60 now!!



when i bought my first 2 eliminators, there was a mint yellow one in canada that stayed on ebay for a month which i bought after buying a  nice pink one for 100, sold the pink for 115 after a few months, and traded the yellow one to turbobandit on this forum for a lambo, he listed it and it sold for over 200 bucks
Title: Re: 4x4 bandit set!!!
Post by: czstycor/c on December 19, 2010, 23:20:00
yeah i might just get that body and put it on instead. what is the difference between the bandit and the eliminator. is one a 370 and 380 motor?
Title: Re: 4x4 bandit set!!!
Post by: performerrpm on December 20, 2010, 00:35:34
same motors, the eliminator has a higher gear ratio. the bandit hi gear ratio is just a little bit higher than the eliminators lo gear. the eliminators just hum when in hi gear.



i havent checked yet but i think the eliminators board puts out more juice to the motor to get it going since the gears so hi, i put a eliminator rear in a bandit and it just didnt have the power of the eliminator or the bandit, i think that with the lower ratio of the bandit it doesnt need as much power to th motor for it to run fast, you will be in good position to test this since you have two eliminators.


my thinking is a bandit lower geared rear hooked to the higher power of the eliminator will make a beast of an r/c. should beable to pop wheelies on command, one of your wild things will have the same rear as bandit
Title: Re: 4x4 bandit set!!!
Post by: czstycor/c on December 20, 2010, 11:21:25
i will try it i know one of the eliminators is for parts, so i'll take the back end off of the areo hopper( which is really a blaster back end) and try that.

i'm guessing that that is the difference between the hoppers and aero hoppers too?
