Bandit Extreme XL-5

[jslaten]

Ha everybody,
I have an Traxxas Bandit Extreme XL-5 AND I nodice that I don't have a lot
of controle in my steering because the front end is light and has little grip.
Has any body tryed melting fishing weight they come in diffent sizes to get the right amount of bite, and if you did witch size did you use and how many and where did you put them on your buggy? ( it doesn't have to be a Traxxas)
Thank you. JSlaten

well, i've never tried melting fishing sinkers :) but stick-on lead weights can be bought pretty cheap in any auto parts store and they work great.

the bandit is going to push hard under throttle due to its design, most all buggies do. let off the throttle a bit when turning to transfer the weight forward and the front end will bite much better. if you want to add some weight, i've had good luck sticking some on right in front of the shock tower, but pretty much anywhere in the front will work.

good luck!
