My basher Tyco Bandit build.

I didn't see a Tyco section on the forum so hopefully I put this in the right place. Decided to bring an old friend back to life. Started off as front suspension fix and an electronics upgrade, but eventually I improved some things over the years as parts broke. Its still an ongoing project.
- Ampro Engineering 3D printed independent front suspension upgrade and front bumper
- Losi Mini-T rear suspension and transmission retrofitted w/3D printed adapter I made after the stock gears wore out after a brushless conversion.
- lowered floor of chassis by removing battery compartment so there's more room for electronics and lowers the center of gravity
- 3d printed replacement interior electronics box cover
- 3D printed wheels
- 3D printed tires in rubber-like F80 resin since most tires are dry rotted and nobody makes a perfect 1:1 recreation of the tires.
- Losi Mini-T front and rear shocks
- Hot Racing Spool
- Losi MIP CVD axles
- MG90 steering servo
- 2440 Brushless motor
- SkyRC stability control gyro so it can drive straight on 3s
- 3200mah 2s lipo from Tamiya Dancing Rider and 1500mah 3s lipo
This is how they would have designed them if they didn't have to hit a price point I'd like to imagine. Good stuff.
