Thanks, Mike Edwards

hyper511@charter.net

Mike Charlie is on his way to my house right now so when he gets here i will get the info first hand for you.

And Eric i see you...lol. are you or Joe going to Chatham tomorrow?


BIlly

Hey Mike, I see Billy has already said something about the nitro cars. I know 3 are coming with him. He will be with Billy at Chatham this saturday. Cya tomorrow.

Thanks Billy.

Kevin, won't be making it to Chatham just yet. Hopefully will make it Labor day weekend for the Arcor Open. I wish I would have know the conversions were available at BMS. Billy probably told me about them but I guess i missed it. Had too much going on running three classes(never again). Is that what your car is? Looked like a real sweet car. I plan on getting one real soon. Thanks again for all your help so far and it was good to finally meet you.

See ya, Mike

i picked mine up this saturday at chatham, man it looks sweeeeeeeeeeet!!! i can't wait to get it together.

one of my buddies also bought one. i saw that he has 2-3 more already cut. some of the parts are in black rather than silver and the final brake design is not quite ready, but charlie assured us that he would get the new style brake out to us soon, in the mean time he gave us a band to use for brakes. charlie said he would be geting some silver graphite parts in soon.

charlie is a great gut to deal with and will provide all the assistance that he can, so if any one is looking for a new body or a new pan car, give him a call.

Ovalracer, What all comes with it and how much $$$? Also, Billy or Charlie, if you read this , please let me know how I can order one.



Thanks, Mike Edwards

hyper511@charter.net

MIke i will get with you. He still doesn't have everything quite finialized as you can tell from ovals post. but they realy wanted it...lol.

I would prefer to get you a complete deal. But i will get with you later on. this evening.

Billy

Sounds good...thanks Billy.

Mike

Billy any plans on a Dodge Intrepid body.

Not for a while Clay.. no real reason since they are switching at the end of this year in cup racing and by thine one is made and aproved by Dodge for liscence the new one will be out and everyone will want it. But when the new ones start hitting the track for testing we have an inside line so right after it hits we wil lbe there......


Billy

Well, by the look of the replies on this thread, these Bandit bodies are quite something! We have some on order for our track, I'll try it out, then let you guys know how it does up north on a tri-oval!

Also, do they come with head-light or tail-light decals, or any other decals at all, just out of curiosity?

Well my Bandit MC has been in 2 races, and has won both of them, Great Job Bandit!!!

Ya, I am a chevy fan when it comes to oval racing, so I will be buying the MC of course!

Justin 29, right now the bodies that your shop will be getting will not have any head light decals. just window mask and a Bandit R/C decal sheet now that being said we are packing bodies now that will have the new head light decals in them ford and Chevy. those should be hitting the distributors by the end of next week. right now DR at MSA Dist. is the order we have in house. Dale at AAA Model Supply got a shipment in that doesn't have them last week....but... he does have the same head light decals in his shop that will be in our bodies. So if you want head lights for the bandit bodies give dale a call. But keep your eye out you will see the head lights in the bodies soon.

And yes regretfuly the retail price will adjust on the new packages.....sorry.

Billy

Alright! thanks for letting me know Billy W.!

Congrats to all the drivers that ran the region 3 race at Chatham this past weekend. and big "hope you get well soon" to Kevin Andrews who was involved with an altercation with a pine tree last night about midnight.... "Glad to see ya doing ok Cole"... Get well buddy.


Billy

Forgot something important guys.....

Mike Russell, region 3 director for ROAR showed us the updated body approval list. And as of early June the bandit 04 Tarus and Monte are ROAR legal.....


BIlly

AWSOME!

So they are ROAR legal! Well, I am having a feeling that these bodies are gonna make a very large impact on RC oval racing! From all of the good stuff that we are hearing from them!

Can't wait until I get mine!

Justin #29
www.geocities.com/cornwallrc (http://www.geocities.com/cornwallrc)

Yeah Its on the ROAR website.....

Yep like Humpty said they areposted on the ROAR web site. We hadn't heard any word so we weren't sure. Also since we had not heard we haven't submited the 1/12th monte carlo. Charlie is now taking care of that now. so howfully it will be legal soon as well.

Billy @ Bandit

Thanks Billy, It shows how important RC is to everyone. A lot of good friends who care about each other. Can't wait to grab the wheel again. Take some time when the swelling goes down.

Kevin, talked to Charlie and we decided that you are now the official "CRASH TEST DUMMIE".......lol. You sounded alot better on the phone today. keep it up!

BIlly

Where can we get them ?????? I want to try one of thier monte carlos.

I got mine from http://www.lefthander-rc.com/ Quick turn around with USPS. Check the link on the right. I think Hank has them too.

T.Taylor -- Yep. We've got the Bandit bodies in stock.

Give us a call or shoot me an e-mail.

Good racin' !

Here are some pics of the crash test.

Dang files to big. Can't get them in. Might try a zip.

Congrats to Charlie Yates for finishing 3rd @ Coopers this weekend in 19trn... maybe he can get a little better at next weeks ARCOR Stare race....lol


Billy

Does anybody have any pictures of the Bandit bodies, I had one, but I don't know what I did with it?
Thanks!

If you look on page 2 of this thread about halfway down, there is a couple pics.

Erock, thank you sir. and we got your e-mail and i will get with you about Akron..


BIlly

Thanks Billy
Any help is appreciated !!

What will take the residual glue left on the windows after the mask that is included in bandit bodies???

After the paint is fully dry you can use a soft towel and motor spray or lighter fluid.

I'm sure I didn't wait till the paint was fully dry. Just hadn't had that happen with other masks.

Thanks,
wowracer1

The Bandit Bodies remind me alot of the Bolink bodies that were around a couple years ago... Are they similar at all???

Yeah! Jamie they do, it's because the owner of Bandit bodies is the previous fabricator for the old Bolinks bodies, if my research is correct?
Justin #29
www.geocities.com/cornwallrc (http://www.geocities.com/cornwallrc)

wowracer1, the best way to remove the glue is to take a piece of masking tape and wrap it around your finger inside out and just dab it and it will pick up the glue when it doesn't switch to a cleaner section of tape. Sorry for that. The last orders of bodies sent to MSA and AAA had the new window mask material. which resolved that problem. We never caught it because myself and Charlie use a window mask that we cut out that allows us to paint a outline around our windows.Thanks to some of our customers we were informed of it and are taking care of the situation.

Justin and Cornwall, actualy Rick Jordan the man responsable for all the great bodies that Bolink once sold is making our molds for us. You can consider these and future bodies from us to be a continuation of his great abilities for producing award wining and race winning bodies.

Now as far as comparison goes.... this is what we have found out so far from the fead back of our team drivers as well as the average racer. The 04 Monte Carlo has the same handeling performance as the old 97 Pontiac that bolink sold. it is a great total downforce body the front allows the car to turn where and when you want it to, andthe rear hada bit more down force to help keep the car stable. the 04 Ford Taurus... well there is no comparisom to any thing... Rick designed this body to cut down on drag. this body has produced some very interesting out comes where it has been raced at. To give you a rough idea. i will compare it ti the last Ford Rick designed for bolink. The bandit ford is a much looser body as far as how it affects the car. it doesn't produce any more front down force than it's predicesser. it actualy directs the sir over the top and away from the wing taking away rear down force which makes the car looser. Now that being said. the best mounting possisiton for the body has been to mount it as far back on the car as you like. then mount the wing a bit higher to make the car stable (not so loose). The air flow of this body does not add drag to the cars over all performance with the wing higher. Lots of stock and 19trn racers are mounting the body back as i stated and putting the wing down low where they normaly run it and then add an average of a half to a full round of bite to the left rear. this allows for less drag and more speed down the straits and the extra bite added allows the car to have a bit more drive(rip as some call it) up off the corner.

A few are finding a little different results but that is about the majority of the feed back we are getting.

Billy @ Bandit

And Yes Rick is working on a new body as well for 1/10th that will ...well basicly screw it's self in the ground. for flat tracks where you want the most front downforce. So keep an eye out for it later in the year when carpet season realy picks up......

Bandit Bodies are awesome. As Billy said the Taurus really free's up the car, but lap times are faster.

Billy -- is that new 1/10 body going to be a Chevy ??

Thx.

Jeff.
