All this buggy needs is an RPM bumper and you can bash the $H1T out of it!!! The RPM wide bumper for the traxxas bandit is the one - fits straight on and ends the woes of the chassis breaking off at the front.. The new machined alloy shock towers are much better too, so when yours bend, replace them with the new style HSP ones that have extra material where it needs it.. The tyres will slick up pretty fast but go for disk wheels and $4 buggy tyres and you're all set! The charger works great and really looks after the battery well, but you'll want an extra battery (go for 25C or higher) and you can but charging time to an hour with an imax B6 charger for around $50 more.. Used to look down on HSP as being cheap, but after bashing it over and over and spending less than $10 for replacement parts I love it.. I went the alloy chassis but have gone back to plastic as they are lighter - and faster! I would recommend the 4WD brushed version for a beginner and then grab a Hobby Fans ESC and motor when you have mastered driving it (well, mastered not crashing it at least!).. Mine has a 60A ESC and a 3900KV motor now and it rocks! The 4000mah battery lasts at least 20-30 minutes with no heat issues.. These upgrades cost a little less than buying the lipo version overall anyway.. also gives you time to research lipo battery safety too! The base model car has been selling for $119 that's insane value!! Note: Hobbywing electronics are definitely worth that little bit extra but hobby fans does the almost the same job at half the price! All you need is the manual for the part numbers and there's nothing that can't be fixed or upgraded! I only wish the body shells were more flexible lexan or at least cheaper to replace, as they smash easily (at 50kph into a tree!) Thanks eBay and all those Hong Kong sellers for making these so accessible and so much fun!!!Read full review
