Yep. Normal traxxas. Traxxas tough!?! ;) 🤪 Trust me, traxxas aint the fastest name in rc. Lol.

RPM is the way to go!

The STRC hinge pins are nice cause they have a locking nut at the end and you dont have to worry about the pins coming un-done.

Also looks like you need a new spring retainer / bottom. ;):thumbs-up:

Looks like you added a sticker so that added a little bit more power. ;)

What wheels and tires are those? I like them.

Actually, there are a few caveats here. That car was actually built using a mix of TRX parts. It started out as an older, pre XL-5 Stampede that we picked up pretty much RTR for $20, then, we got the chassis, steering bellcrank and servo saver, and pink steering links and body from eBay to convert it to a wider Bandit. The tires and wheels are Traxxas Fiesta ST rally wheels that were on my Slash/Fiesta ST hybrid when I got it. Given how old most of the parts are, I'm surprised it didn't explode on the first jump. We do have the spring retainer. It was laying next to the wreckage.

Fantasia and Deloreans, nice blend. :)
 
Oddly enough never watched it it when I was fried however I d believe i will be adding that to my bucket list thank you lol

Here doom I’ll just leave this here for you
Last year when the hospital refused to let me leave, I watched them hunt down and build a DeLorean. Really interesting show. Of course I can't remember the channel or name.
Fantasia... I remember that was really good when you were really baked 😝
Almost everything is. Except jail or police stations. 🤣🫠🫡

They know me pretty well. Had a rifle pulled on me, they took my picture on a cell phone walking on the sidewalk, and they used to stalk me. Not to mention the helicopter spotlight more than once. 🙃🤣

Hopefully yours are more friendly.
 
Rally wheels? interesting, how does it handle with them??
Really well I like the handleling with them better then the normal buggy/bandit tires well when she’s not broken that is but she’s also not built outta bandit she’s built outta a stanpede the one (well 2 technically I broke them too) I had before the fire was built outta a rustler but nonetheless still had this type of wheels and tires and prefer them hands down
