KenGor Racing Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 (edited) Here’s my Traxxas Bandit. Love the simple yet versatile chassis which can take a bit of a hammering. Wish they wouldn’t use the grey colour plastics though. Edited February 2, 2021 by KenGor Racing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bertberr Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Great looking paint job, like on your other rigs youve posted, simple but very effective, and with clever use of decals it really pops. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I’m more of a buggy racer ..... but with lockdown in place, racing is non existent so I’ve been working on bashers for a bit to see what they’re like ...... I like them!

I can see why it is very popular ........ 2s seems to be right for the chassis, controlled bashing ........ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
