If my camera man (Bird) can break away from the crib for a few moments, I'd love to shoot some vids. It's a bitch to shoot and drive and then it makes the vid suck.

I'm giving the XXX an under the hood cosmetic makeover and then the Bandit will get one too, a upgraded ESC (Tekin, thanks Hiroto) in it and lose the mechanics.

Vids will soon follow.

You guys have all the fun...... Well, stop postin and get to work, you ain't got it in there yet?

I'm glad you found a use for it.

Get to work.

Did you see the other post I made tonight about the XXX-NT. I gave it a small makeover.

I thought I was going to be able to use that Tekin in my Mini-T, but all the electronics I was going to use in it, all have different fuckin' plugs. (Asshole manufactures)

So now it's headed to the Bandit and that should make that thing a rocket.

not really any use for it in the mini t. it doesnt need one that good.the bandit however is a much more compatible canidate for the esc. once you turn to esc you never go back, lol.

Once again I'm glad you like it, cause now I'm kickin myself right square in the arse, becuase today I went to my LHS for paint and they had one of these sitting on the counter, next to the register. They want $179 for the kit.

I want it........And now I gotta buy a new esc.

Frogs were killer. You should bust it out. It ain't going to be worth so much you'll be rich, so just don't beat the shit out of it.

Cabo has a badd ass turbo optima, and he's scared of it now, cause it peeled out on his weiner.

ultimate hobbies is a good place to buy(got my mini-t for 99.99 shipped)but they take a long time to ship and online ordering isnt secure. other than that theyre cool.

With the $25 off cupon from Tower, I got mine for $94. Once you sign up for their emil list, they will start sending you codes within a week (my old code expired).

I have a 7 cell hump in it. Thanks to Bird for letting me use his charger for a bit.

Here's a few seconds of footage of my Bandit. I shot this during my All-Day Tribute to Kurt & Layne last week. (4-5-2005, 11 years for Kurt and 3 for Layne) R.I.P.

I found this spot up in the cut at a county park.

I dropped the ride and camera and went to town.

I would have had more footage, but I got the electronics soaked so I had to chill for awhile.

Simply video.......

http://www.sg219.com/downloads/bandit.wmv Right click and save should do the trick.
