So, i have a Bandit that started its life as a Rustler 2WD, i pretty much just took the front body mount off the rustler and put a Bandit body on it. so Essentially, i have a wide stanced Bandit lol. Now, i have a 6 1/2 turn brushless motor with a sidewinder ESC, so, she flys lmao. At this point, idk what i should do with it now. maybe some tire ideas? there is not much you can really do with these little guys lol.
 
Drag build? Monster bandit build? 6.5 T motor. Thats fast. My uncle has a 6.5 in his mod 4wd buggy. Sad that my local tracks doesn't run mod classes anymore. Besides the one clay track but his is set up for carpet.
Some Drag people use 4.5 to 3.5 or even better, 3.0 motors. Those are FAST.
I got a rustler 2wd. I done alot of upgrades but the whole car looks sort of the same when it was stock so I didn't do anything crazy.

I break mine by looking at it but I’ve had one (technically 2) built outta a rustler and my current guy is built outta a stampede hands down dig on the rustler platform for the build better but tires are always a good idea I don’t much care for bandit wheels and tires myself but that’s my opinion and experience I also like rpm parts for mine
