I'm about 10 minutes from the old jump site. I have considered seeing if I could launch a Bandit into the canyon

They did manage to release it with a different name and body but I've never seen one up for sale.

You can make parts "to fit" or "compatible with" Traxxas vehicles. You cannot say "Traxxas bandit widget" it needs to be "widget compatible with Traxxas bandit" and their trademarks cannot be part of the web url. To be honest it makes total sense now, I still ...
