It has nothing in common with Bandits or any of the other cars. It is entirely different. It has a huge rear end with a big motor. Its suspension is real bouncy, the rear wheels are screwed on, so you can remove them. It has a built in wheelie bar/ wheel on the back and will ride a wheelie until you let off the gas. The steering thing is not a bar on the bottom , but a knob that you turn like a newer digital car has on the transmitter. You can put hobby tires on the wheels also, so you can always rerplace the tires. I have a nikko thor 4 wheel drive, so i really don't need this one. As for price I was just taking offers.
