Nitro slash might be the same as it's a real similar chassis.

You know what. I can probably just modify the Bandit one.

 

[luke66]

yeah you can. body or chassis?

 

[ZaneC]

The Bandit turnbuckles are the same as the Nitro Rusty ones.

Quick question. How do you reverse a brushed motor? I know turning the cords around isn't the best for it. Is there a way to program the ESC?

 

[DavidB1126]

For a brushed, no clue, the only way i would figure it out is if the esc is programable, with a card, and reverse the motor direction to either CW or CCW. Most traxxas escs if not all of them are not programmable.

It's fine for the brushed motor to be reversed. if you were to do it with a programming card it would be the same thing because it just reverses the power going to he motor.

Ordered the chassis.

Hey guys, once again, I need help. I just saw one of the newest Mark Santa Maria videos, and he briefly showed a mid-motor Traxxas Bandit. I was wandering if any of ya'll have done anything similar?

Yes, go to page two where my son and I made a custom chassis to make a mid engine 6S Rustler. https://www.rctalk.com/forum/thread...ngine-and-more-lots-of-pictures.133769/page-2
