Description
One of the holy grails of slot car racing collecting, the Super Bandit used a rewound and balanced “Hornet” motor, now called “Green Hornet”. The tires had a smaller diameter for a lower center of gravity. The Bandit body was now painted black, meaning that some of the decorative decals became almost invisible. The Super Bandit had a new Cox inspired “quick change” guide flag.
This model is especially difficult to find inside its original box with its original insert.
The early issues came with an armature stack high-temp varnished and balanced over the varnish. Later issues had polished armature stack and better magnets. The rare last issues used the latest 1968 Mabuchi FT16DBB with ball bearing can and a very hot armature.
All the motors were the product of Mura under a sub-contract.
