The 2WD does. I know they make plates now to attach to the front but I’m not sure if I can still use the stock body. Do you have any idea if I can?

Sure why not. Here’s some pictures trying different things out over the time. Since I’m new to speed builds I’ve tried several motors but have always used the Spektrum 150 ESC I have a castle 6S I might use but most likely it’s going into my Senton. Here’s my FB group of anyone would like to check it out.

If you need more weight on the front end, you can get THESE aluminum chassis plates that mount right on where the existing plastic one goes. I'm pretty sure the bandit and Rustler chassis are the same.
 
vudu, Here is a length of steel key stock cut, drilled and fit to the front of Rusty. Weights in at 3.25oz (92gm). This weight together with a Lexan front air dam keeps her nose down. So far, so good. Not sure something like this will fit under your bandit body nose though. For what-its-worth.

Bandit build looking good. Thanks for posting up the pix. Cheers. 'AC'

If you get to a point where you want to buy a 3d printer, I know a guy that works for Comgrow. They sell refurbished Creality printers, and you can get them dirt cheap through him.

Addict, while you are at Home Depot, pick up a try square and a roll of 2in 3M/Scotch masking tape. The try square is your best friend in chassis layout. Fix the masking tape to the chassis plate and do your cut and drill layout on it. Hope this helps. Good luck. 'AC'
