I've always had a soft spot for old Traxxas stuff like the Bullet. When the TRX-1 came out BITD, I was really intrigued. I'm not overly knowledgeable on Traxxas stuff, but how much of the TRX-1 DNA made it into the Bandit we know today? I have this...

that is kinda crazy. Around me the bandit gets treated like the red headed stepchild of the family.
Yeah, I know. It seems like Stampedes and Rustlers are more popular but the prices on these used Bandits around me are nuts. On my local trade...

So to shorten the chassis I would simply cut the...
Does anyone here have a Bandit? I'm looking for a dimension. I want to know the distance from outer hinge pin to outer hinge pin on the front arms so basically the front end width pin to pin but not including steering hubs. I can't find one at a...

I got the same. Somewhere around 1/16-1/8. If it helps, the bulk and arms are the same as the Nitro Rustler, Nitro Sport, Nitro Stampede, and SRT.
In the midst of getting into this hobby and seeing what's out there, I picked up a near-mint Bandit. Had to replace the MSC servo, lube the steering servo, and get a NiMh battery, but after that it worked flawlessly. I let my kids bash it around at...
