The assembly process couldn’t have gone much smoother. It was quite relaxing putting it together. Lubricating the pivot points as I went along.
Since I put a new ESC and motor on it. The ESC had to be programmed. I tried the instructions I found online. They just launched the bandit off the workbench After I few more minutes of research I realized the ESC requires the use of a programmer. Bummer it won’t run right without being programed.
Still I gave it a try. Found that the grease did the trick with the clutch. No more one wheel peel. Although it now it turns worse under acceleration. The esc has a lag in it making it annoying to drive.
Over all I am happy with the results. It doesn’t seem any faster or responsive.But I believe it will be better after I programmed it.
