Traxxas Bandit XL-5 Buggy RTR 1/10 (Silver)

Traxxas Bandit XL-5 Buggy is a ready-to-run 1/10 buggy that gets you on the track or the parking-lot course fast. It ships with a pre-painted ProGraphix body, the waterproof XL-5 speed control, a Titan 550 motor and the TQ radio system, so you can just charge the pack and drive.

Key Features

• ProGraphix painted body — pre-painted shell with applied decals for a race-ready look and an aggressive, aerodynamic shape with a rear wing for high-speed stability.
• Waterproof XL-5 electronic speed control — sealed design protects electronics while driving in wet or dusty conditions; offers Sport Mode (forward/brake/reverse), Race Mode (forward/brake) and patented Training Mode (50% forward/brake/50% reverse) for learning or tighter control.
• Traxxas EZ-Set one-button setup — simple push-button setup gets the ESC programmed quickly without menu diving.
• Battery compatibility and protection — works with NiMH and LiPo packs and includes two-stage low-voltage detection for safer battery use.
• Titan 12T 550 motor — powerful modified 550 with internal cooling fan and an oversized armature for stronger torque and better power handling; designed for long, low-maintenance use.
• TQ 2.4 GHz 2-channel radio system — ergonomic transmitter with internal antenna and Traxxas 6519 3-channel micro receiver that includes fail-safe for secure control.
• Sealed watertight receiver box — keeps the micro receiver dry and protected during wet runs.
• 3000 mAh Traxxas NiMH battery with iD — includes a high-capacity pack for longer run times and Traxxas iD compatibility for simple charging.
• Includes battery and charger — ships with a 4-amp 12V DC peak-detecting fast charger so packs charge quickly between sessions.
• Tough fiber-composite monocoque chassis — wide, low-profile layout for better stability and a secure mounting platform for all electronics.
• Easy-access battery compartment — accepts 7-cell flat or hump packs and 2-cell LiPo packs for flexible power choices.
• Transmission and driveline — brushless-ready Magnum 272 metal-gear transmission, Torque-Control slipper clutch, planetary gear differential with steel ring gear, plus a sealed gearbox and beefed-up motor guard for protection and easy clutch access via the external gear cover.
• Heavy-duty telescoping U-joint driveshafts and yokes — built to handle jumps and high-torque loads.
• Steering — high-torque waterproof Traxxas 2056 steering servo paired with a tuned bellcrank system to reduce bump steer and keep tracking predictable.
• Suspension — solid camber links that eliminate frequent adjustments and captured rod ends that stay put during hard use.
• Springs and shocks — fully adjustable oil-filled Ultra Shocks with X-ring technology and white powder-coated springs for consistent damping and easy tuning.
• Wheels and tires — pre-glued Alias tires mounted on 2.2" mirror-chrome 5-spoke Tracer wheels for good traction out of the box.
• Traxxas support and parts availability — wide parts support makes maintenance and repairs straightforward when you need them.
