Traxxas Bandit XL-5 Buggy RTR 1/10 2WD (Red)

Traxxas Bandit XL-5 Buggy puts sport buggy performance into a ready-to-run 1/10 package. It comes out of the box with a pre-painted ProGraphix body, waterproof XL-5 speed control, Titan 550 motor and the TQ radio system, so you can hit the track or the street right away. The setup is friendly for new drivers and provides tuning options for more experienced racers.

Key Features

• ProGraphix painted body — pre-painted shell with applied decals for a race-ready look and an aerodynamic profile that includes a rear wing.
• Waterproof XL-5 speed control — handles wet conditions and offers Sport (forward/brake/reverse), Race (forward/brake) and Training Mode (patented 50% forward/brake/50% reverse) for progressive learning.
• Traxxas EZ-Set one-button setup — quick, simple throttle calibration so you spend less time programming and more time driving.
• LiPo and NiMH compatible — two-stage low-voltage detection works with flat-pack NiMH and 2-cell LiPo packs for flexible battery choices.
• Titan 550 motor — Titan 12T 550 modified motor with internal cooling fan and oversized armature for strong torque and reliable power handling.
