The Bandit is definitely overlooked, even the brushed model is very fun, The VXL is crazy fast 💯 and as far as the BL2-S in the TRX I really don't use my TRX as a hard core ROCK crawler, I use for more of a Trail truck as I'm pretty sure that's it's intended use and most people do use it as a trail truck...either way both awesome rigs, great video!!! 👍👍

I purchased the basic brushed Bandit and did all the conversions to upgrade it to a brushless system. I can burn off a set of stock Bandit tires in no time. Street tires are too hard and I get terrible control ability on them. I was told I need to soften the material in the tires with something like brake fluid or something. That seems like a great way to destroy them. I just replace the tires when they are completely worn out any more.

I orginally planned on keeping the sound but it was mega windy outside and also there is a lot of back and forth between myself (the driver) and my camera guy to make sure we are on the same page.

I hope I never have to own a Traxxas. I would rather have a Losi, Associated, Tekno, or Arrma. Traxxas has been involved in so many lawsuits sueing other companies for crazy stuff. They even sued HBO for the term "Max" because they thought consumers would be confused between HBO Max and traxxas Maxx....cmon....that is rediculous.
