I have driven it gently out on the front flagstone patio. All seems in order ( steering, brakes, slipper, diff etc. )
Have I beat it in the dirt? No, at least not until I get to a legitimate track where I can get some input from an experienced driver.
And the nearest dirt track is pretty far away.
Haven't raced in almost 25 years so I could be off on the setup and not even realize it.
I've been thinking on this for a while. Got a couple 6301 chassis when on sale as well as a few other parts.
I also picked a laydown housing to check for fit.

The car looks spectacular Chuck.

Very true. If you were keeping it a truck, it's a matter of a dynotech motor plate, some battery trays of some type, and some creative bracing and you are on the way.
It's been a while but I'm back to working on my MM Rustler project. I've decided to design a new version which is why I've started this new thread. It's been a long time since I started my original mid motor conversion and in that time I've gotten...

I’m really enjoying your progress on the Bandit.
I am also tinkering with a Traxxas project, but that will get its own thread - eventually.
My question is: is your front track width according to ROAR spec of Mac 250mm? I’m finding it VERY hard to...
Just a teaser/proof of concept pic for now since I finally picked up a chain and the project actually looks like something tangible. :P

Thanks for the compliment! I agree with you on both there being a great group of people on RC10Talk.com and that an important part of vintage RC were the mods and hop-ups that may or may not have been worth it. :mrgreen:
