Great info and build. The bandit is the perfect choice to turn into a drag car. No arm swaps etc. 👍🏾💯💪🏾
Exactly
I definitely subscribed!! My young prodigy was telling me about this type build but I was leaning towards the dr10 only bc my cousins have the traxxas and losi...dycks!! Love you guys so I have to be different bc I crush them with the infraction 8s and typhon 6s..hobbywing set on esc and motor. So happy I stopped by I'll also find you on the gram!! Thanks for posting and keep em.coming I hope you have more on your page?
Can't wait to see the run vid guys👍
I can’t wait to make it.
They turned out great👍 Looks like a lot of fun. Really makes me want to build myown. Rc drang is huge here in AZ.
It’s getting big here.
Great video my friend. I am working on a lcg slash bandit build on my channel. You guys always do a great job.
Nice! Can’t wait to see it.
Well...I wanna get into this now. I was addicted to crawling but now I want to go fast!
Cool videos guys good idea with the nice weather love my new armma btw
Nice!!! Thank you.
My drag car is my 4x4 slash with a Maxx body, Hoss bumpers and shock towers. It’s far from stock, has Reedy electronics and it MOVES OUT.
Cool video.
Sweet dude! I bet that thing boogies!
This was a awsome how to vid thanks 👍
No problem-o!
I built mine using your 'Traxxas Bandit gets a DRAG CAR Conversion' video
Sweet DIY!!! Lookin Fresh!!!👍🏾👊🏾✌🏾
But will it do a burnout?
awesome build,cool video
Thanks Duke!
Excellent job, Ethan! I’ve enjoyed our “behind the scenes” talks about your build and I hope to see it spank Halley’s cars very soon 😅🤣😎
Psh. Fat chance.
@@10thScaleGarage 😂😂
I'm here to kick ass and chew bubble gum, im all out of gum.
@@kingwally4545 🤣🤣🤣
Dude, love the Kramer in the background.
Nice video I've been thinking of doing this build
It’s soooo easy.
Please can I ask what is the yellow & orange bodyshell ?, I've bought all my bits to make a drag slash before I see your video but I wish to know when you will be making another video ?.thank you Andy Timson from England
Nice video
I've toyed with the idea of a drag car. It's such a single-purpose type of vehicle, I'm not sure if I personally would get much use out of it. I'd have to see if there are any races/clubs around here.
Build two. Hand the transmitter to your friend. Prepare to laugh.
@@10thScaleGarage especially if you don't tell them which one their controller goes to hahahaha
I have a couple drag cars that I erase and my boy got interested in it so I bought him a bandit and we were doing the exact same thing as you guys did I was just wondering what spur gear you guys used and what millimeter was the bolts holding the front bolt head on great footage as always
Thank kpop rc for the sub. Tall can tuesday ftw!!!
Haha. I’m totally taking credit for naming that.
My friend is getting a bandit soon. maybe I can convince him to do this! 👍
Right on.
You definitely should, it was fun just to build, SO many options to make it your own too.
That a Kramer painting in background???nice!
Love the new shirt,excellent!
Dude. GET AHOLD OF ME! I’ll send you one.
Awesome boys... Cool vid
Thank you!
Anybody know if you can still use the bandit body with this conversion?
What size Traxxas button head screws are they
When i put my steering servo on and stuff i once i try to connect the black peace to the slash chassis it doesn't clear and sit flush. What am i doing wrong here?!?
I’m so sorry, but I’m not sure what you’re asking. By “black piece” I’m assuming you’re talking about the lower chassis. If you are, I know that can be a bit confusing. Make sure you’re using the correct hardware.
Now that I have a job I’m definitely gonna do this
Sweet! Can’t wait to see it.
We love your channel! Great fun job! Buy a brushed hobbywing 1060 esc 20 bucks then you all can go 3s! I use this esc to make all my Traxxas go faster!
Ethan just bought a 1060, but we have a rule, no prep is 2S only.
Cool ok I love your 🚗
Would like to see what a 12t does in it. Also how much does bearings help that motor?
Yea. Exactly
So I’ll need these button head screws. Are they the only ones made, or is there possibly a part number?
Traxxas makes them… can’t remember the part number. I have them all listed in my other drag bandit build video.
I just the same build two days ago. What spur gear and clutch you use? I just burnt my motor
31 tooth pinion and the next size down in spurr. Stock clutch.
Those came out wickid awsome
Thanks man!
I really dig the brushed titan motor builds. I hear there are places running stock classes with the titan 12t motor. I am building one with my left over parts at the moment. What gearing are you running on these?
Yup! Ethan is running crazy tall gearing. I can’t remember off hand, but it’s the “stock option” for the bandit, plus a smaller spurr.
@@10thScaleGarage I've never really messed with the titan 12t setup. I'm excited to get it together and see the difference between fully mod brushless to stock brushed.
What part number is this the buttonhead screws
Nice video good info 👍I'm an old school drag racer I have many drag cars from long ago 😀 these look really nice but a lil heavy do they get off the line like a rigid chassis because I can hit 100 in 100 feet ? I don't have Instagram but I will make a short video for UA-cam and send u the link it's been a while since I ran them but I think they can still compete what do u think i would like to run a old school drag car with these new cars and see how it does 🙂🤘❤
No way. These do about half that. 100mph in 100 feet is cookin!
@@10thScaleGarage that's with a prepared track and a lot of glue on the tires 3.5 turn 3s and good body clips with direct drive the conditions need to be rite its far from no prep 🙃🤘❤
Why did you change the chassis?
What size body 1/10 or 1/8
I want to get a budget crawler and build it for drag/street use.
Are the button head screws necessary?
Yes.
I did this about 2 months ago because of you going brushless soon
Nice! I’d love to see it!
Part number for the screw pack?
3936.
Hey Mark here, I live up in Canada on the east coast where there are no hobby shops could you tell me what your favourite most durable rc is I'm gonna start getting into the trophy trucks, and flat track. Your channel is the best i can't wait for the next video.
Losi Tenacity TT Pro.
@@10thScaleGarage thank you very much for your input
How do i get a 10th scale garage Busch light t shirt

Hi is there any way to convert a rustler ?
Yeah, but you’ll need the bandit arms, drive shafts and links. The rustler is just a little too wide to fit a no-prep body.
nice i bought one built i just need to do some stuff to make it faster 5900kv motor and a gearing change
Parts are cheap!
Bro it can actually be done cheaper then that. Factory works/chuck works makes a cheaper stretch kit turning the bandit into a slash wheelbase
Is there a parts list, like model numbers and so on?
Yes. Check out the video description of this video: ua-cam.com/video/P0_OLjqhY8w/v-deo.html
@@10thScaleGarage Perfect, thanks.
All we did was change the body and body posts on our bandit and of course I set a wheels
Hello friend!
I love your videos. I ordered a lot of parts to assemble a C7 like yours. Do you know if it is possible to mount the body with the stock body mounts of the Slash?
Greetings from Barcelona
Good question. I’ve never built a dragster from a slash. It ought to be close.
CAN I GET A COMPLETE PARTS LIST WITH PART NUMBERS SO i CAN BUILD ONE
What pinion and spur did you put in?
31 52??? I can’t remember exactly.
@@10thScaleGarage Holy moly that's high! Using rollout for the taller tires, 25 or 26 on the pinion with the 78 spur is about equal to the Bandit highest recommended gearing of 31/78
Part number for the screws?????
They should be in the description..... if not check the linked video. It has a full parts list.
I love building. These so much I built 2
Nice! It’s super rewarding.
Nice 👍👍👍~~~!!!!!
Thank you.
I think a drag car will be my next build
Yes! Burnouts!
Good video, only thing is a list with the parts numbers...
This video I made has all the part numbers listed in the description. ua-cam.com/video/P0_OLjqhY8w/v-deo.html
Curious does a 1/10 rc body fit right onto this build or do you need a bigger body
Like a touring car body? No. This is technically 1/10 scale but you’ll need a short course body.
Do you know about how much money all of this is? Un including the bandit
~$150
Thanks!
Anybody Tried the Zero Degree front bulkhead?
Not yet. Have you?
Let Baby Huey talk some next time!!! Hahaha!!!🤣✌🏾
I'm not much of a talker haha, I'm the Teller of the the channel.
The music reminds me of grand Turismo 2 for some reason.
I can totally see that.
So what was the grand total on this thing?
Minus the few hop-ups, $317 for everything (minus body and paint)
@@10thScaleGarage so really its more expensive to do that over the dr10 then? It's 199 for the dr10 kit amd 299 for the rtr amd it comes with a body. So you can take that extra 60 70 bucks or more you spend on a body amd paint and put that to a better esc and still have the team associated quality over Traxxas sub par quality. The bandit rustler and slash have alot of flaws lol..
I have that 3300 reedy motor on a mamba x and it makes my 4x4 rustler stand up all day long lol. It runs harder then the vxl motor.
💪🏾🔥💯
Thanks Coach D!
Was the Biggie sweater intentional? RIP
It was all a dream.
“ that’s a big Chunga‘s”
Right?
col build men ..my choice start with a china bang-good brushed vrx blast SCT and get a car body i think be fun,, Be blessed
Good idea.
7:44 be careful saying any super glue/CA/tire glue will work. If it does not dry clear/shiny there a good chance you have crappy/old glue - it will dry hard but is brittle and snap with good power. It might be ok on 12t motor but faster motors good luck.
I built a drag slash last year and sold it...wasnt really my cup of tea. They do look super cool though.
You need friends with them so you can race each other. The fun Is limited when it’s just you.
Why not start with a rustler?
Arms are too wide. You’d have to bolt on the bandit arms, links and shafts.
@@10thScaleGarage Ah ok thanks!
Why not just use the stock bandit chassis
Wheelbase is too short.
I got the need... The need for speed!!!
Me too.
Super glue is CA glue
You don’t say….
Sponsored unknowingly by Busch beer 🍺. 😀
I wish they sponsored me.
@@10thScaleGarage lol
You didn't include any parts numbers for the screws and hex ! Are you gonna make me do my own research???
They’re listed in the comments.
@@10thScaleGarage See that's making me do the research! LOL. Thanks
@@SpaceAgeConsulting sorry dude!
@@10thScaleGarage No worries. I just broke my Bandit hitting a curb so this is a perfect opportunity to convert it into a Drag car. Thanks for the template!
I’ll watch this later
You better!
I am now I got out of school lol
Go brush less go with the hobby wing max 10 for101$ it goes 40mph on 2s
4000kv
We built these for a specific class. We’ll more than likely upgrade them at some point.
How to turn a bandit to a slash
Haha. The slash is wider. I have a 2WD slash and the wheels rub like crazy on all my drag car bodies.
We can thank street outlaws for the tucked look being almost mandatory lol
That isn't even a bandit it's just a brushed drag slash
It’s a bandit with a LCG slash chassis. Did you even watch the video?
@@10thScaleGarage technicly it is a slash because the chasie and yes I've watched the video but good job trying to correct me
@@Slickback64 you’re right. Changing one part makes it a slash.
My apologies.
How foolish of me.
