Cox Bandido restoration

[matthew john]

I got these 2 cars from redscampi in a trade. I plan to tear them down, clean all parts, and make one good one outta all the parts. also in a upcoming trade, I might be getting a few new parts , so with those I should be able to make at least one real nice bandido. I might even be getting a few more in upcoming trades. All will be shelfers though. With the design of the dog bones, and the parts the dog bone slide into, I'm afraid they would strip out. After that, they are done. I think I'll rig one up with Tamiya Black Foot or Frog transmission parts and dog bones. I'll post pics as I progress.

Enjoy!





below is the car id like to make the nice one out of.



I'll post pics of the tear down.

Looks like fun Matt! Get some plastic polish at the auto parts store and you can really get that plastic to shine. Removes some scratches too!
