Bandit Shovelnose This Hydro started as the famous Miss Money Pitt and was then reborn as Miss Madison. It is a fiberglass hull that came pre joined. Some minor racing rubbing has required some small sections to be rejoined!, by nobody passes for free. I think it is lighter than a Maus shovelnose and handles with much the same style as the Maus. It started out with a Trinity D4 12X3, then moved to a Plettenberg 290/20/4. Right now its much faster than my comparably equipped Maus but that is mostly due to the Maus's finicky nature in strut height and angle to get best performance. The Bandit on the other hand sets up and runs with ease. Below are some pictures and videos of it action. | | Setup 1 | Setup 2 | | Motor | Trinity D4 12X3 | Plettenberg 290/20/4 | | ESC | Astec | RCHydros | | Hardware | Fullers | Fullers | | Servo | Futaba | Futaba | | Receiver | Futaba AM | JR FM | | Prop | Octura X432 | Octura X435 | | Batteries | 6 Cells | 8 Cells | | GPS | 27MPH | 33MPH |
