I've seen them. I've just never used them on anything. I think with our textured concrete surface, we might need as soft a tire as possible. The next time we run, if it even gets warm enough to go out, I will get some slo-mo footage of the car from all sides and post here to show you what it's...

Sorry, what do you mean run air? Are you running wheels with valve stems?

So, have you tried the M/T slicks off the Drag Slash? I assume being a stock tire they are probably crap. Also, you may not know the answers here, but the Reactions come in the normal and wide widths. Which ones should I grab for the DR10? I see the wides require a different wheel as well. Will...

Howsier mama? 😜

Good point. I can grab a set of Hoosiers for shelf time as well.

So the Hoosiers were what I was really wanting. Mostly because here in Indiana, it's kinda popular for some strange reason lol. But that sucks they aren't as good as the plain black Reaction tires. I am a huge fan of the white lettering on the drag tires.

It's ok. I have learned to deal with it. I just move a little slower these days 😉

My disability limits me to about 5 minute car journeys. I have difficulty standing for long periods, but even more difficulty sitting upright. So I will never be able to use a wheelchair, or go anywhere away from home for more than 15 minutes at a time or so, unless I am in a bed in an amulance 😉

I am disabled, so not able to go anywhere to race competitively. This will just be a part of the hobby my son and I enjoy and have fun with here in the parking lot at my apartment. And as you can see in the vid, traction is a major issue here. So building anything really fast is going to be...

To use the Pinto body. The Slash will be a 67 Mustang or 69 Nova.

It says on Pro-Line their trans fits the Bandit as well. It's hidden at the bottom of the description 😉 Now... who makes an RC line-lock, trans brake, and a 5000 stall? 🤣😜🤗

I will be building this off of Jenny's site, grabbing the main components, then put together a list of things to buy elsewhere as upgrades. Is there a transmission upgrade for the Bandits like the Pro-Line Slash? Oh hell. The Pro-Line transmission fits the Bandit too. Problem solved.

I will have to post up a research thread when I get to the Bandit build. With Christmas coming I am trying to not spend too much til I figure out what to get him. But I've been looking, and in January we get a pretty good increase in our SSID, so I will at least have play money again 😉

Good to know. Thanks for the help, because I am a bit lost here 😜 The only Traxxas I have ever owned is my Jato, so not familiar with all the interchangeable bits. I saw Pro-Line has a lot of cool stuff for converting the Slash over. They are proud of those shocks though, but they sure look nice.

So Rustler axles work in the Bandit to go to 12mm hex wheels?

Yeah, he got better than me at it very quickly, which is funny, because the bashers he has a hard time driving a straight line in the dirt. But this drag car, all the runs you see except the last one in the vid is him. And you can see within a few passes he had it down. I was a proud papa for sure.

It's currently in my Kyosho Turbo Scorpion 😉

Nice. That is the one I just put in my wishlist. But I actually have a Castle Sidewinder 3 setup with (I think) a 3600kv motor I may throw in it. I bought it a few years ago for a build that I ended up selling when I became disabled.

Cool. I was actually looking at the Max10 earlier. I think because it was so cold out the other day when we ran, it was getting a little squirrely. After he made a couple runs it started to hook a little better. We didn't do much of a burnout, but I really got a kick out of watching him do his...

I am just researching because there is not really any sense buying a car with a bunch of expensive electronics I don't need when I can buy the brushed version for almost half the price. That was my thinking a few minutes ago anyway. Then I found out Jenny's sells the Bandit VXL stuff. Problem...
