You are on the right track

1%er

The Bandito MC is chock full of 1%er's

Bandito, Cox

Yep.

I thought that tossing it in right after it's sibling was a little too easy.

what does the 1% represent?

Ok, would have never put that together.

The other famous Bandito

On that subject, this was pretty watchable. Not to hijack the thread.

OK. So something I own or am working on....production "vehicle"...etc.

So I have a thing where I compulsively must answer/guess at trivia type stuff. Like the kind of thing where you yell at the TV with the hope that the Jeopardy host/contestants will just cut the chatter and clear the damn board.

I will submit my clues (another fastball, right down the middle), and then resist answering in the future, because my collection is both narrow and paltry.

2wd buggy

2.14:1 Final drive ratio

An incredible 2.5" of USABLE rear suspension travel!

Shares front arms with a racing truck of the same era

All the understeer you can handle! (and some extra!)

Let's open it up in the future to a vehicle that you don't necessarily own, I was just hoping it would make people offer more factual info if it was in front of them. Sometimes memories of what people say 30 years ago in person and not since are groggy.

Ah, super close. Three of the original clues could apply to two buggies, and "understeer" is subjective to the track/tune, so I added "shares front arms...." as the true eliminator of the TRX-3.

Can it be the Traxxas TRX 1, sharing the front arms with the Traxxas Blue Eagle?

Yes that's the one. TRX-1. Edit, I just noticed the arms in the picture are referenced as part 1932, and in the text as 1931. Anyway...little misprint there in the photo

Next one is easy:
