    Drag Bandit Build Research - Lots of questions

    Hot Racing's aluminum bellcrank is really nice. The Traxxas ones are overpriced. These are for Slash 4WD, but I think these are the best links out there - https://www.ebay.com/itm/114989475512 I got them for the 2WD just couldn't find them at the moment. They are lightweight, and the most...

    Drag Bandit Build Research - Lots of questions

    The travel is 300x180. I cut mine from 250x100 mm sheets. BTW, these routers are pretty inexpensive - I think I paid around 200 or so for mine last year - https://www.amazon.com/Desktop-Control-Engraver-Engraving-controller/dp/B08CYY35Z9

    I could if I had an SVG file for one. It would have to be in two sections though, as my router isn't big enough to make it one piece.

    Drag Bandit Build Research - Lots of questions

    Those are a great concept! I really like the idea of being able to get rid of that 3 deg stock toe in. I saw STRC had some 1 degree ones, but this is a much better idea.

    Yup, that should be a great chassis, his work is pretty outstanding. I have a friend that has a Jato 3.3 that I'm going to work with him on also using the Pinto body, and he's got an SH .28 P3 that he wants to put in it. Not sure yet about the arms, I know for sure that the Jato arms are too...

    Drag Bandit Build Research - Lots of questions

    Drag racing's where it's at these days. It's kind of weird, in that it started getting big a few years ago, and I joined tons of social media drag racing groups, etc, it was going crazy. But for some reason it sort of petered out a little, or maybe leveled off. But then something happened...

    So the bandit weighs 2.99 lbs stock, it's a very light vehicle. Most SC based drag cars are around 5 lbs (4.54 is minimum for NP/SE classes). The extra weight will definitely help on that rig. those chassis look sweet as hell too. I love the red one.

    That Chuckworks chassis is surely 13.2" wheelbase.

    Drag Bandit Build Research - Lots of questions

    Yup, different lengths, otherwise the same. Some people using Slash's will cut down the arms to Bandit length to save a few bucks if swapping to Bandit arms. There might be some stuff that needs to be done with the body mounts too. I know with my Vette I swapped the posts and flipped the...

    Drag Bandit Build Research - Lots of questions

    I believe that the Bandit/Rustler/Slash share most components other than the chassis and arms. You should be able to use 12mm hex on the bandit drive shafts, I am using Bandit shafts and 12mm wheels (...
