is this any better then the just regular bandit from traxxas?

Yes, we returned 2 of them to Amazon and purchased a new one at a local hobby shop. But regardless they are high maintenance.

I apologize, I really don't know the answer to that. I didn't compare the two. My choice in buying the one that I did was the price of that style vs the other style remote control vehicles traxxas offers. I wish I could be more helpful to you. Good luck!

Yes it is. But i wiuld recomend purchasing a better quality charger because the stock one takes 8 hours to charge.

I Have not played with the regular bandit . but I can say that my some absolutely loves this. And it can take quite a beating based on how my son drives it.

Hello barbara! I think this version can be upgraded to the faster version with newer parts up to 70mph but 35mph is pretty fast if your not in some type of competition racing. Again i recommend the fast charger 45min to recharge and rechargable batteries for transmitter. Hope this helps!! I'm 40yrs old and its pretty strudy and fast out of box with no upgrades Lol!!

good begginer car but you cant buy parts at any hobby store. I also own a traxxas and am very pleased with it .

If the Traxxas Slash has the same Speed controller as the Traxxas rustler Vxl I shouldnt see why not.

Yes but you'll need a new speed controller and motor. Traxxas has a kit (motor and speed controller). Its the Velineon 380. $140 or so.

Yes as long as u have steering and acelerator and a battery u should be fine all traxxas radios are the same shape

No. The motor and esc are both rated up to 3s, but not running together, I have tried it but it got hot Very Fast. You would need the Mamba Max Pro or Hobbywing wpsc8, etc. for a reliable 3s esc with 5700kv. I have this Castle combo in my Bandit, and 2s is plenty...my advice? Gear up and you will already be in the 50mph range 2s...I run 24/90 gears and it's stupid fast. Speed run, 26/76, it has to be 55mph with that gearing.

this rc bag is too big..I think yeti is possible. .now im use traxxas erevo (big one) with more bigger upgrade monster tire..and 2 more 1/10 onload car can put in...enjoy~~

Unless you are buying this for yourself I would buy. It has plastic gears which wear out quickly in the running gear. I hear this common with most all of the lower priced RC's I does run about 15 mph which is fast. They make faster ones.

Depends on the motor, esc, battery and gearing you run in it. It could be a 60mph truck or a 2wd crawler if you wanted. It's all up to you. The traxxas slash is probably faster than this one only because traxxas is ready to race. This j concepts looks like more of an off roader and speed is never off roads friend because you'll experience overheating problems. To run those big tires off road it needs to be geared for low speeds which gives you the torque you'll need. Good luck Joey!

definitely! I do recommend it, the double harms make it more stable, the tick and wide board give a better grip. Also the little latch lock on the side keeps if from sliding down while driving. Great produce,I own exactly the same.

I find that the traxxas pro.15 is a better built engine than this one. I do not know for sure if it will bolt up to Traxxas motor mount though.

I would think so. They fit on my bandit and they both have the same chassis.

street faster than titan, but like said less torq. if the price is right try it out. it was fun till i went brushless.

Hello, The only difference is the body shell. Typically most drift RC's are pretty fast. Thank you.

Don't buy it. I is trash and will keep breaking. Save some Money and buy a traxass or a better one

I refuse to use this fuel. I have a 2wd Traxxas Slash and I'm willing to spend 4-5 bucks more a gallon and buy the Traxxas fuel. My second choice would be odonell speed blend. When you switch fuels most of the time you have to make carb adjustments.

Not even close. Go to Traxxas.com website -> forums. You'll find out your answers. WAY TOO MUCH info to cover here.
