Features
Battery and Charger Included!
Bandit includes a powerful 8.4 volt 3000 mAh Traxxas Power Cell rechargeable NiMH battery pack to reach its 35+ mph top speed. Fast 4-amp charging is available virtually anywhere thanks to the included 45+ watt USB-C battery charger with iD technology. Power adapter and cable sold separately. For maximum charge rate use Traxxas 2912 45-watt power adapter and 2916 100-watt power cable. The Traxxas iD system is the easiest and safest way to charge your Traxxas batteries. The charger automatically recognizes the iD battery and optimizes the charge settings as soon as you plug it in. There’s no guesswork involved, just fast, reliable charging every time.
Modified Muscle
The Titan 12T 550 motor pumps out incredible power with an integrated cooling fan to keep temperatures down. The XL-5 Electronic Speed Control provides smooth, reliable power delivery with EZ-Set one-button setup and three different drive profiles
3-channel Micro Receiver with Fail-Safe Security
The TQ 2.4 GHz micro receiver uses an integrated LINK button for fast and easy binding. A two-color LED indicates power-on and bind status for fool-proof control and convenience. In the event of signal loss, the receiver will automatically return the throttle to neutral and hold the last commanded steering position. The Fail Safe programming is conveniently built-in and does not need to be set or activated.
Waterproof Receiver Box
Bandit's innovative waterproof receiver box allows easy access to the receiver for maintenance. The unique patented design holds a 3-channel micro receiver that saves weight and provides reliable, long-range RC performance.
High-Torque Waterproof Steering Servo
A high speed race buggy needs a powerful steering servo for responsive performance, and Traxxas delivers with the 2056 high-torque servo. This waterproof steering servo uses O-ring seals to keep the fun going when things get wet. Waterproof for all-weather action, the 2056 provides 80 oz-in of steering muscle.
Brushless Ready Magnum 272 Transmission
The Bandit's Magnum 272 transmission features metal gears riding on ultra-smooth sealed ball bearings. Combined with the smooth 48-pitch gears, power transfers quietly to the durable telescoping U-joint driveshafts. The sealed gearbox protects the transmission components from dirt and rocks. Best of all, the Magnum 272 is built Traxxas Tough to handle massive brushless power without the need for costly upgrades
Beadlock-Style Wheels and Alias Tires
The Bandit rides on aggressive black and chrome multi-spoke wheels with pre-glued tires and foam inserts. Alias step-pin rear tires and ribbed front tires keep the Bandit firmly planted on extreme off-road terrain.
The standard 2.2″ wheels accept a wide array of accessory tires including the Traxxas Anaconda 2.2″ street tires for Bandit and other buggies.
Included Optional Pinion Gear
The Bandit reaches its blistering 35+ mph top speed on-road using the optional 31-tooth pinion gear (included) and 7-cell 8.4 V battery pack. Out of the box, the installed 21-tooth pinion gear is just right for all-around, on or off-road action.
