|  Another scale truck build
Here is my atempt to build a scale truck, got a good start on it today. Fiberglass side plates are cut out. need more holes in them. The drivetrane is all VMG. I need 2 stock tires and 2 stock rimes to make another set of skinny tires. The body looks like a nissan hardbody to me. So am I off to a good start? Last edited by Cole82; 10-16-2005 at 03:56 PM. |

It's aTyco Baja Bandit. This body is about 15 years old. I knew you would like it. I'm waiting for parts like always. As soon as tower delivers the suspension links everything will come together quick. Purchased some aluminum mini t shock for it too. |

Got the parts today and did some work on it. It has a 3link suspension front and rear. I was first going to make it a 4 link but coud not get the right triangulation. For it to work correctly. Here are some pics I still need 2 rims! |

The Baja Bandit was one of my first RCs! I begged my rents to buy it for everytime I seen it at the toy store for months. Then finaly one Christmas morning there was one under the tree. I had a blast with that thing. Heck I think I still have parts of it somewhere Lol Very cool prodject |

| Re: Another scale truck build
Anyone mind if I resurrect this dinosaur? I just bought a bandit off eBay. Hasn't shown up yet but I'm wondering some dimensions? 1:18ish? Will the Losi MRC axles work with it or should I look into finding RC4WD's small scale axles? Or even as small as a Losi micro axle set with the bigger tires and wideners? |

There's some dimension info here on this Ebay post. With my calculations with the 1/1 dimensions and this body it comes out to a 1/16 scale. Tyco Nissan Hardbody Truck Body for Scale Build | eBay |
