[bigglefty75]

these were cool and kinda fast for a young kid at the time.... i had the black one A-ARM BROKE

[76hotrodF250]

I bought a red bandit off craigslist just like that one, with both broken shock towers, for 8 bucks. Sadly, no remote or battery cover. What MHZ frequency is the red bandit btw? Also I got a black turbo hammer and a black eliminator both also without remotes. Could you tell me what remotes could work them? I never owned these cars growing up as I was only allowed one rc car ever few years Thanks.

@76hotrodF250 Hi, I have the truck boxed up at my moms house so I'm not sure the mhz. I'm pretty sure if you buy a turbo hopper controller they work too and it has to be either 27mhz or 49mhz so just buy controller on ebay with busted car or something is what I'd recommend.

[76hotrodF250]

@matt78tv Oh ok, well I did quite abit of digging around on google, and I found out the red Bandit is a 49Mhz, and so is my Black Hammer, so now I just have to figure out what the Eliminator needs. I'll look into maybe getting a turbo hopper for a remote. Thanks for the advice.

I used to use a Paper Clip "Torsion Bar" front suspension when the Shock Tower broke on mine. You straighten part of the paperclip, put the loop part on the front wing, and run the straight part through the screw hole where the shocks went.

LOL, i had both the black and red one when i was a kid. I f-ing loved them. So super tough too. The only thing left after all the crashing and jumping was the wheels, frame and battery case. It looked like a black box on wheels. Then we set them on fire and they still ran for like 30 mins. It was hilariously awesome to say the least.

[Spincrossup799]

i always wanted this remote control truck when i was a kid but i end up getting the remote control outlaw for christmas of 93 =( lolllllll.

[xXFocusRecord]

the shitty thing about tyco cars is the brushes on the motor eventually wear out and it wont run anymore.I used to fix them. Fast Trax and Hammer were my favorite

[gabe2304]

MAN IN MY OPINOIN THE TOYS "BACK IN THE DAY" WHERE SSOOOO MUCH COOLER AND THOUGHER! :)

[SHAIGUYsk8erninja]

mine is rusted a little and it runs great!!! its the fastest rc car i have ever seen! youre missing the shockabsorber. i love this car! NOT FOR SALE sorry but a great memory of my dads. hed kill me if i broke it. and earlier today the shockabsorber fell off but i got it on.

[Phi505]

The Bandit is a legend in RC!! Hope you got it fixed and runnin!

[Digitalshakespeare]

I would kill for one of those. There was a Tyco Bandit on EBay 2 days ago that was apparently on a different chassis and painted up like a Tamiya King Cab (originally not repainted) I lost out on it with 2 minutes to spare :(

[nts213]

Wow that bring back memorys  i had a black one in 89 ,90 .

[wwwNooBcom]

think they stop'd selling then about 14 years ago m8 (No joke), they where late 80's-early 90's. i had one when i was like 9 and iv been looking for one over the last few months without sucess, i seen a few for sale in america (Im from the uk) and they people where wanting like at least 100 bucks for them, then they are being snapped up by older hardcore rc fans

[killersushi99]

I have a black one. Bought a new battery pack for it and it still runs great!

[satellite98]

haha dude i rember my bandit mine was black

[XXcspo14XX]

is it fast

[reggaecracker]

they are not to bad, keep in mind the year and tech at the time they were made...yeah pretty quick, better than most the toy store r/c....

[LiquidStang]

I still have a Hijacker and a Scorcher 6x6. I think the Hijacker needs a transistor (something blew) and the Scorcher is missing a wheel and it overheats.(???)

I wish I still had the Eliminator.

[brillo252]

there are a lot of us lookin for bandits im also lookin for a hijacker and an outlaw ahh the good days when tyco made the wickedest toy rcs

[narconme]

dude im looking for one those in black like i had when i was a kid. no luck on ebay so far

[matt78tv]

I got a black baja bandit too which was the 1st one to come out which was around xmas 1989. It in my opinion is a prettier truck than this red one.

[narconme]

im still on the hunt for one, i just know theres somebody out there with one in box sitting in the attic

[cschmude]
