2WD RC Race Buggy
Bandit® elevates the RC buggy experience with its factory-installed Extreme Heavy-Duty suspension components for next-level durability. Bandit’s sleek, lightweight chassis delivers razor-sharp handling and blazing 35+ mph speed. Pull the trigger and Bandit rips massive rooster tails, soars over jumps, and lays down the power for excitement at every turn. Equally at home off-road or on pavement, Bandit’s fully waterproof electronics make even the wildest all-weather adventures possible.
Extreme HD Suspension Components
Bandit comes outfitted with factory-installed Extreme Heavy-Duty suspension components and arms for ultimate strength and durability. The rear axle carriers, C-hubs, and steering blocks are beefed up with more material and stronger construction.
Includes Battery and Charger
Bandit includes a powerful 8.4-volt 3000 mAh Traxxas Power Cell rechargeable NiMH battery pack to reach top speed. Fast 4-amp charging is available virtually anywhere thanks to the included 45+ watt USB-C battery charger with iD® technology.
Powerful Titan Motor
Bandit reaches its blistering 35+ mph top speed thanks to a powerful Titan® motor and XL-5™ speed control. An integrated cooling fan draws air into the motor to keep temperatures down. The XL-5 ESC provides smooth, reliable power with EZ-Set® one-button setup and three drive profiles.
Aggressive Body & Wing
Bandit comes loaded for fun with a sleek offroad buggy body designed for high-speed passes. The body comes fully trimmed and painted with bold graphics with a high-downforce wing to help Bandit maintain stability at high speeds.
Details
Alias Tires and Tracer Wheels
Bandit rides on stylish 2.2″ black multi-spoke wheels with pre-glued tires and foam inserts. Alias® step-pin rear tires and ribbed front tires keep Bandit firmly planted on extreme off-road terrain.
Titan 12-Turn 550 Motor
The large 550-size Titan® motor delivers dirt-roosting torque and lightning-quick acceleration. The integrated cooling fan lowers running temperatures for more fun behind the wheel. The Titan 12T requires very little maintenance and provides consistent performance run after run.
Waterproof Receiver Box
Bandit's waterproof receiver box keeps the receiver safe and dry while still allowing easy access for maintenance. The antenna and servo wires route neatly through a patented water-tight seal for true all-weather fun.
XL-5 Waterproof ESC
The waterproof XL-5™ electronic speed control packs powerful safety and convenience features like three separate drive profiles, low-voltage detection for LiPo batteries, and Thermal Shutdown Protection to prevent overheating. Traxxas' patented Training Mode™ reduces power by 50%, making it easier for new drivers to develop their control skills before unleashing full-power.
TQ 2.4 GHz Radio System
The TQ’s advanced programming provides long-range control with smooth, glitch-free performance. 2.4 GHz technology allows you to race multiple vehicles side by side without interference. The TQ’s ergonomic design is comfortable for all-day driving with an internal antenna that is impervious to damage.
Waterproof Steering Servo
The Traxxas 2056 steering servo provides quick, consistent steering on any terrain with 80 oz-in of steering muscle. The fully waterproof servo uses special O-ring seals to keep the fun going even when things get wet.
One-Piece Camber Links
Bandit's durable one-piece camber links are perfect for bashing because they maintain proper suspension geometry and never require adjustments. Captured rod ends provide unmatched durability and they won't pop off.
Bellcrank Steering
Bandit’s high-performance bellcrank steering system delivers sharp handling and increased steering precision. This innovative design minimizes bump steer to increase cornering stability.
Heavy-Duty Suspension Arms
Molded from our toughest composite material, Bandit's heavy-duty suspension arms provide just the right amount of flex to resist breaking. These suspension arms stand up to even the most punishing drivers for non-stop wheel-to-wheel racing.
Hex Hardware
Bandit's hex-drive hardware provides a more positive and secure connection than other fasteners. The black-oxide coating provides a rust resistant high-tech look and feel.
Tube Front Bumper
Bandit's rugged tube-style front bumper helps ward off crash damage to protect the chassis against impacts. The bumper also features bosses to mount accessory LED lights.
Oil-Filled Ultra Shocks
Bandit's oil-filled Ultra Shocks™ utilize X-rings for a perfect seal and super-smooth performance. Adjust the ride height and spring pre-load with the included spacer clips. Ultra Shocks are fully tunable with a wide range of oils, springs, and pistons available.
Extreme HD Suspension Components
Bandit comes outfitted with factory-installed Extreme Heavy-Duty suspension components for ultimate strength and durability. The rear axle carriers, caster blocks, and steering blocks are beefed up with extra material and stronger construction to withstand even the most brutal punishment.
Motor Mount with Integrated Cooling Channels
The sealed gearbox protects the transmission components from dirt and rocks. The motor plate’s finned cooling channels allow the Titan's internal fan to pull air through the motor for superior cooling.
The Magnum 272’s all metal gears ride on ultra-smooth sealed ball bearings. The bulletproof Torque-Control™ slipper clutch and metal transmission gears are ready to handle any power system upgrade including the extreme Velineon® brushless power system.
Torque-Control Slipper Clutch
Semi-metallic pads and finned aluminum alloy pressure plates dissipate heat and provide consistent traction. The semi-metallic friction material remains stable across a wide temperature range to provide smooth, linear engagement. Spur gears can be removed and replaced without altering the slipper adjustment.
Planetary Gear Differential
The planetary gear differential uses hardened steel internal gears for maximum strength during rigorous off-road bashing. This type of differential requires virtually no maintenance, and its efficient design puts maximum tire-shredding power to the wheels.
