I ran a club race with it last Friday in 17.5 Stock buggy. I had to add a lot of weight to it to get it above the ROAR regulations. Tried to give it a little more droop to help with landing but it was still prone to bottoming out even with fairly heavy oil (45wt f 60wt r). If I don't land perfectly ...

I took the Bandit out racing again this past Friday and this time nothing broke! I was able to run the car the entire night in the mod 2wd class and it drove really well. I managed to record the main by strapping a phone to my head - I'm sure I looked silly but the video came out great! EfJy_aDSuf0...

Alot left to do..but got it running and driving....it starts real good with a pull start....brakes work good too but need a new servo...(case ears cracked)....big power when u open it up....cooling head doesn't seem to be keeping it cool enough tho...sux...might have to run the redhead and cut the ...

I'll post more info later, but I've adapted some big bore shocks to the car to fix the chassis slap issue I was dealing with. might be able to use the original shocks at some point but need to find better pistons for my application. Till then here's some video of a friend of mine down at the track g...

I'm embracing the big ass battery idea.
Created some battery hold downs, swapped the 3d printed standoffs for aluminum ones, got some fresh JConcepts tires demounted and put onto a set of my Pro wheels.

Surprisingly capable even on today's tracks too. I swear I'll post something about an RC10 on this site at some point!

Painted up a spare Yokomo body over the weekend. Decided to try to replicate the scheme on my XX-4 and X-5.

So more on the big bore upgrade. I've put the option shocks for the Geforce Genova onto the Ultima. GOP106 front and GOP107 rear. Screenshot 2024-03-10 203306.jpg These are well made shocks, easy to build and bleed. went with 45wt front 50wt rear. Springs are AE red front and yellow rear. The shocks...

I like the red slammed one but would like a tire swap though

Better late than never. Finally got to run through a pack with this car. https://youtu.be/iX6fidecUCE iX6fidecUCE It handles Carpet pretty well, didn't get to test any jumps but it should handle small ones fine. This thing is pretty fast for it's size and was driving pretty well against a few MiniZ ...

Currently at the 2024 Mini Nats at RC Madness racing!

It's the Protech version. I think Boki or Sabulatech repops them. Here's mine.

New lid got painted for it from local painter, Dominators Airbrushing.

Will probably go with the Scorpion molded wing,...

Well well well what do we have here? IMG_20240422_153034171.jpg I've actually built most of this last night. and I'll post more details later on but this is a cool little kit, and the quality is pretty damn good. Carbon, aluminum and injection molded parts. The only thing in the kit that's 3d printe...

I got into Mini-Zs this was probably a mistake, because now i keep printing bodies and I haven't even raced the car yet.
