Billy @ Bandit

Bandit Monte Carlo's reset 2 track records at Chatham R/C Speedway last night. Bandit also took the TQ and Win in every class (Spec, Stock, 19 zero, and 19 Open) Mike Wilson and Jamie Raymer reset the track records in 19 zero and stock by a lap each.

These bodies rock........................

Keep up the good work and the "thinner" sides have been fixed. Bandit has done an awesome job to correct these problem and the bodies look great!


BREAKING NEWS:
Bandit's very own Billy Weeks won Open 19 turn last night as well. Billy was "sleeping" all day long until the main. lol

Congrats to all of the winners and to Mike and Jamie for their new records.

Awesome bodies. Handle great and are fast. Charlie hooked me up with a little problem i had no questions. Now thats customer service, to be able to talk directly to the man to resolve something. Thanks guys. Look forward to future offerings as well.

Congratulations to Jamie, Mike, and Billy! Great runs guys!


Adam Liehr :dude:

Got to give a big thanks to Helms for the charger info and Murdock R/C for shipping it. Yokomo Chargers all the way....lol

Also big thanks to Bruce @ RC4Less for the batteries. Kenny Collins and KC Racing for a great motor..... and i mean that one motor ran all the quailifiers and the main, oh yeah and practice too.....lol

Thanks to Charlie @ Bandit for his suport and help. THanks to PRS for the gears.... and the awesome BSR tires... they never even flinched when i left the ball park in the 3rd quailifier.

Actualy guys i quailified 7th (3rd & 4th heats were not kind to me...lol) and took off the line into 4th by turn 2. and thats were i figured i would end up. Car was that good but no where as fast as Helms and Ray-Ray. But it was fun to be there and had a blast.

james stroud

Are there any plans for any Nastruck style bodies? My dodge truck body will soon need to be replace. I hope you don't forget about the other oval guys that loves to race looose. LOL

rcgen, it is in the works.... as far as when i'm not sure... iknow we allowed for it when we did the liscence agreements.

James i will have to check with Charlie on a time table for the gas car i know he spent the weekend with Bruce our Graphite cutter this past weekend. as soon as i hear somethinig i will let you know.

Billy @ Bandit

Also need to add a big congrats to Eric Anderson on winning the 1/12th A-main with the debut of the 1/12th Bandit Monte Carlo. And 2nd in 1/10th Mod with the Bandit 04 Taurus... at the Kimbrough 400 in Vegas.

And to Papa Joe Malin for i think 3rd in 1/12th as well out in Vegas.

And Armon B as well... for well being there....lol....Better luck next time Armon "B main" ain't so bad.....

Billy @ Bandit

Good job guys and gals.

Got to try my new Bandit HD MC, for the first time on my home track, a flat asphalt mid sized oval. I can't say that I set any track records, but I did beat my personal best in pro stock by a full two laps and was only beaten by two GREAT drivers. Rich Baran took the win, with Mike Boylan in second and yours truly only 11/100th of a sec. behind him! So, yeah I was extremly impressed (with the body) and I think they and the rest of the drivers were also!

I have a tech question. I just painted my 3rd Bandit body and all 3 times the window film has left residue. The most recent left ALOT.

Question 1. What will remove the residue without damaging the paint or lexan?
(I've tried rubbing alcohol already without results.)

Question 2. Is this something that could be resolved totally with a different vinyl or paper material? (Would save headaches)

Not bashing in anyway. The Bodies are awsome. It just when you sit for a few hours painting all the logos and graphics in and then that its iritating. Maybe I'm not the only one to have this happen.

the window mask problem I to had a lot of problems with the bandit window masks i did not leave them on very long mabye ten minutes . they seem to streach and tear alot when they are removed and do leave alot of glue behind. i used lighter fulid to remove glue it took some doing and some time. i love the bodies but the window masks really need to be upgraded if posible. Gary

Steve unless i'm wrong your bodies came form the first batch that went out and those contained the originial batch of window masks. since then Rick has replaced it and from what i have used new material is much better.

There may still be a few of the older masks out there and the best way to remove the glue is to wrap masking tape around your finger inside out ans tap the glue areas and it should come off with out any problem.

Gary haven't seen much of the tearing but i know that all vinyl stretchs. If there are problems with the material still leaving glue please let us know. If we don't hear about it we can't inform Rick. Plus Rick told us the other day he gets info from here all the time from other people ( hey Ricky!!!).

Billy @ Bandit

Gary, once you do get the mask off wad it up sticky side out and blot the excess glue off, it only takes a couple of minutes that way.

Cliff some of the early stuff won't let you do that. I got one of the earliy 1/12th bodies with it and it was pretty rough. Like i said Rick got with his supplier "JSI" and they helped out.

Billy

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll try it. I'm not sure if it the one I got when we were at Coopers last month or on of the ones I picked up recently. I'll let you know how it works.

Man I just had to add another testimonial about these bodies. I had one in the back seat of my Silverado the other day and while running down I-85 I noticed I had gained a two mile per hour advantage over the other traffic. BANDITS RULE!

LOL

(Just had to put something in, it was getting kind of dead in here.)

Not for much longer Craig it will be jumping soon. Ricks starting to toss ideas out to Charlie for more products so things might be picking up around here soon.......

And let us know if anyone gets brave and tries the Taurus there. Eric Anderson ran one in Mod in Vegas and the car worked great..... your track isn't much different.

Billy @ Bandit

Adam Liehr :dude:

Yeah Tony that is realy good. Nice to see more than one color....lol... now we won't think your Humpty... real looks good.


Just got back to my senses from the weekend at BMS great race and lots bandit bodies everywhere. Congrats to the winners. And big thanks to all that ran our bodies and picked up our new car stands.

Congrats to Charlie and Kevin for taking 1st & 2nd in .09 gas this weekend on the "Bandit Gunslinger Nitro CHassis". BUt and even bigger Kudos goes out to Kenny Derr for taking a chance bought a Gunslinger Gas chassis after a disapointing run in one quailifier built the car with a little help from Kevin and Charlie before the "next" quailifier and according to his crew picked up close to a half a second a lap. And ended up running 3rd over all. Great Run Kenny !!

Billy @ Bandit

how can i be so lucky, as to get one of those gunslingers!!!!

i want to run .09 and .12 at the open in sept., so i need another chassis.

thanks

Hey Billy,

Show us some pics of the MC you painted for the web site. That is one of the sweetest bodies i've seen! I gave the body to Brooks for all of his help with motors and all. So he gets to sport the body st the ROAR ragionals. I may do another one with some flames and the 2 tone.

Oval racer..... charlie has graphite conversions together now he sold a couple this past weekend. If you are heade over to CHatham for any of the weekly races i will make sure we have a couple with us when we go. Or you can e-mail me and i will get with you on them. i will try to get a photo or two up here as well.

Tony, yeah i will see what i can do about posting a pic or two. i was told my (loner)camera will be here this week....lol Web site is coming together i don'twant something that will be goofed up when it is set up but it will be soon.

Also we got our 800 numbers last week and we are getting all the stuff completed this week for them as well for contact to us. so hope fuly everyone can get us then as well.

Billy @ Bandit

And i have to add congrats to Bandit team member Frank P. for his TQ and win and track record at Willow Mill this past weekend congrats FRANK!!!


Billy @ Bandit
