Redline Bandit

[Catfisher]

Just started resurecting the Traxxas Bandit I bought back in November 1997 yesterday, repowering it with the Velineon motor/ESC combo out of my Stampede have decided to call it the Redline Bandit. It's getting built with just straight line speed in mind. I'm going to swap in a mixture of Boca and Traxxas sealed bearings and would like to eventually install the aluminum steering bellcranks and New Era front bulkhead.

Here's an older picture taken a few years back with my Mini-T


Here's a sneak peek of how it looks as of this morning


I still need to put downtravel limiters in the shocks to lower the buggy a little more and I'm in the process of pulling the stainless button head screws with black oxide cap heads.

That looks like the St.Charles Hobbytown.
