Yes all bodies being shipped from Bandit for the last month have included the head light decals. there are no tail light decals because 99% of the racers cut out the back end so where are we going to put them....lol.

if they order direct they will have them. If they order from one of the other distributors they need to ask about the head lights. a couple may not have the new bodies in stock yet but i'm sure most do. Most distributors wait till the run out or are almost out before ordering them so ther might be a couple of them still floating around with out the head lights. Just make sure they ask when ordering.

Alrighty! Thanks a lot Billy!

Billy

AAANNNNDDDDD...... just got in the newset test body from Rick..... High downforce Ford. It is designed for flat track racing .... carpet or flat paved racing... Will be running the first tests this coming weekend and we will let everyone know how she goes. Should screw it's self in the ground as Humpty would say..........

Stay tuned!!!!!!

Billy @ Bandit

Billy, I think the package from Alabama is mine, I sent it to you last Sat., it had a Ford and Chevy in it, hope to get the replacements soon.

Billy.. would I have to pay extra to get one of the new Ford test bodies??? for a replacement??? we race a short flat track and the more Downforce the better...LOL I'd love to be the first around here to have one... and I'll let ya know on the testing... let me know what ya can do.. Thanks Blly

James

YEah i think it was yours you should see it soon and please read the note inside.

James, We only got a limited number of test bodies in and they have been sent out already....sorry. We won't order any more till the testing is done and no adjustments are needed. If things work the way they appear to be with the design of the body no changes will be needed.


Billy

Billy, I got my two replacement bodies, they look alot better, thanks for the quick turn around. P.S. there was no note inside the box???

HHHmmm guess Charlie forgot... might have been one of the other bodies sent out too.... things are so busy it's a mad house....lol


Billy

No big deal Billy, just curious as to what note you were referring to. Whats the latest on the BANDIT "GUNSLINGER" car, is it going to be a conversion kit or a completely new designed, 1:10 scale electric oval car? Are you guys going to have a web site?

Gunslinger is an electric oval conversion kit to start 1/10th and 1/12th. As well as an Oval nitro verison as well (which has been winning alot of races all ready). Still working out some of the finial design, and the instructions and a few other small details.

THe web site is sitting on my computer waiting to be up loaded. according to my cousin there is a bug in the software i have that won't allow it to be up loaded and she is taking car of getting a better version so we can get it up loaded.

And anyone that comes by and sees us at the ARCOR open we will have some new items on display that will be available right after that race for shops and distributors.

Billy @ Bandit

Good deal Billy, now I see why your called BANDIT R/C Products, you guys are going to have a lot of different products out there other than bodies. Is the Gunslinger conversion kit going to be for the Associated 10L4O, or what?

Actualy it will stand on it's on when completly released. we will be using the new motor and left axle carrier from Hyperdrive. but for now and later we know there are several people out there that like the old G-force style chassis and the current versions being tested ahve those pod plates on them and will be offered as well.

If i can rember how too i will add a photo of the new chassis plate to this post. The realy neat part that has made the difference is the testing of the graphite layed in different forms and angles.

Also to let everyone know where we stand the new short track ford as it will be calld performed rather well in it's initial test, and offered a great deal of turning ability, it still hasn't reached its potential for "screwing it's self in the ground" as a few guys like ...lol... so it will get a couple more adjustments and then a couple tests before it will be availible.

Now lets see it the attachment worked....lol... got it!!!

Billy @ Bandit

Nice looking piece Billy, you guys have really got alot going on at BANDIT, do you know what time frame the car will be released and will it be available at the same distributors that sell the BANDIT bodies?

Talked to CHarlie 5 mins ago.. said he was going to send a couple to AAA model Supply few racers at BMS want the version that fits the Racetech cars. So anyone interested in one can get a hold of Dale or us.

Billy @ Bandit

Will there be a KSG version Gunslinger anytime soon, if so where could I get one?

Definately want one of these, use to run with Steve Lafara the original owner of racetech, shoot me a pm so we can work something out to get this chassis and stuff, Thanks Mike

EHR... KSG version? Why? there are plenty of those cars and parts still availible...... Plus any one that uses a Racetech car can use the KSG motor plates to keep the racetech car going. It bolts right into place on the old racetech graphite.

hrtpumper... i will get an pm out to you.......

I just thought you were making like a chassis plate that would be a conversion fit for certain chassis that are available in todays market, like so many people are doing for the Associated 10L4O, that has tons of parts and pieces out there, just so there would be a different choice for anyone that wanted to try a different design without spending the bucks for a whole new car, but looks like you are basically trying to revive the old RaceTech and G-force cars, which is fine with me, I was just trying to get all the information I could on your new chassis.

Billy any Sight of that Ol'Ford???? LOL Or do we have to go hunting on the lonely ol'dirt roads looking for her??? LMAO

James

EHR, i understand what you are saying... Jimmy and Andy did a great job with there cars and there designs. And yes and no about reviving the Racetech designs what we have done is basicly taken it in a slightly different direction. Similer to the way many racers have done for the L4 like Maverick and others have done. Those guys shot for a certin handeling effect and got for the L4 and we have done what we did to take the Old racetech line in the direction we would like.

Personaly i have always felt a car is a car. (and some will argue..lol) Some can make any form of car work and some have to find a car that works with thier style of driving and set up. We are just offering another direction for the racers.

Cornwall, it has left the building..... keep an eye out and keep me informed.

Billy @ Bandit....

Here are a few photos of the new gas chassis and electric chasis.yes only one is apearing now but i will re set them and get the others added.....lol

Billy @ Bandit

Billy,

Does Bandit have a website? I've been searching and not finding it. if there is one, can you please post it in this forum (sorry if you posted it previously, but I couldn't find it).

thanks

Web site is not up yet... had a problem wiht the program and found out this weekend that there was a problem with the host server.... so once everythign is corrected we will have her up and running.


Billy

Billy, is the chassis in the above pic going to be the BANDIT Gunslinger complete car kit, if so when do you see it being available to the public and where would they be available at, also is BANDIT going to have a production of replacement parts available, thanks.

It is introduced as a conversion kit. CHassis, bumper, cross brace, cross brace supports, neff wing, center shock mount, rear pod top and bottom plate and alum motor mount and left axle carrier.

We are already sending them out as fast as they come in. Right now most sales are direct on the kits. we've had shops and racers contact us.

The gas version re set the track record at CHatham 3 times this past weekend. And the electric version was doing rather well till i clipped the apron and decided to visit the goat pasture off the back strait.....lol

Billy @ Bandit

On the conversion kit would the following fit to complete the car, Associated front end kit, Finishline steel spring t-plate, shocks, ride height adj. axle etc.?

Billy wanted to play with the goats.......................lol

Don't forget when you clipped the bottom of turn 3 and backed the car into the turn 4 wall. Looked like a real cup car.

Bandit rebroke 3 track records this past weekend in stock, 19 open, and .09 gas!

Great job to Team Bandit!

EHR, basily you got it. same as many of the conversions out on the market today. plus most of the racers that will be interested will have the remaining items needed in thier tool boxes already.

We are planing on having a complete kit released but right now funds are tight since we are working on two new body molds.

No Tony i didn't the car didn'y like the way i was treating it so IT want to play with the goats......lol
Billy @ Bandit

Well here are pics of the 2 cars I will be pitting at the 2004 ARCOR Paved Oval Open. Eric Hutkey will be running the flourecent yellow #42 Bandit Taurus and Brooks Derting will be running the flourecent orange #31 Bandit Monte Carlo. Both cars are Hyperdrive 700's and will be running in the stock class.

Thanks, Lee Helander
Velocity R/C

We've talked about Lee but right now we have to way the cost compared to the possible sales and while we would like to right now it just isn't fesable. I know we did allow for them in the liscence agreements for the possibility of them but not right now.... sorry.


Billy

Good luck to Team Bandit this weekend at the ARCOR 2004 Paved Oval Open. See ya'll there on Friday!

Bandit R/C Products wishes the best for all of our fellow Florida racers as the big hurricane approaches.

James
