Traxxas Bandit VXL Buggy RTR 1/10 Brushless (Green)

Traxxas Bandit VXL Buggy is a ready-to-run 1/10 brushless sports buggy that blends straight-line speed with easy setup and stable handling. Built around the Velineon 3500 motor and VXL-3s speed control with Traxxas Stability Management, it’s aimed at intermediate drivers who want a fast, dependable rig right out of the box. The body arrives pre-painted with applied decals and a race-ready rear wing, and the package requires battery and charger sold separately.

Key Features

• ProGraphix painted body — pre-painted shell with applied decals and an aggressive aerodynamic shape with a rear wing for race-style looks and airflow control.
• VXL-3s waterproof electronic speed control — one-button Traxxas EZ-Set setup, Sport (Fwd/Brake/Reverse), Race (Fwd/Brake) and Training Mode (50% forward/brake/50% reverse) plus a large heat sink for cooling.
• Two-stage low-voltage detection built into the ESC to protect LiPo packs and support NiMH operation.
• Battery compatibility — accepts NiMH packs from 4–9 cells (4.8–10.8 V) and short-form 2- and 3-cell LiPo packs.
• Velineon 3500 kV brushless motor — sensorless design with ultra high-temperature sintered Neodymium magnets, precision-balanced rotor, efficient high-speed ball bearings and blue-anodized finish for reliable power in 1/10 scale.
• Traxxas Stability Management (TSM) — improves acceleration and braking on low-traction surfaces, maintains steering composure for throttle-on slides, and is adjustable from off to 100% from the transmitter without dulling throttle response.
• TQi 2.4 GHz high-output radio system — 2-channel transmitter with a 6533 micro receiver offering fail-safe and integrated telemetry ports, programmable multi-function knob, dual rates, exponential, end-point adjustment and a patented waterproof receiver box. Compatible with the Traxxas Link wireless module (sold separately) and can store settings for up to 30 Traxxas Link-enabled models.
• Tough fiber-composite monocoque chassis — wide, low-profile layout increases stability and keeps all electronics securely fastened to the chassis.
• Easy access battery compartment — fits 6-cell flat packs, 7-cell hump packs and short-form 2S/3S LiPo packs for flexible power options.
• Transmission and driveline — Magnum 272 metal-gear transmission with Torque-Control slipper clutch, planetary gear differential with steel ring gear, sealed gearbox with beefed-up motor guard and external gear cover for easy clutch access.
• Heavy-duty telescoping U-joint driveshafts and yokes for reliable power transfer under load.
• Steering — digital high-torque waterproof Traxxas 2075 servo paired with a high-performance bellcrank system that minimizes bump steer.
• Suspension — adjustable steel turnbuckles and captured rod ends that resist popping during hard use.
• Springs and shocks — fully adjustable oil-filled Ultra Shocks with X-ring seals and white powder-coated springs for consistent damping and spring rate.
• Wheels and tires — pre-glued Alias step-pin rear tires and ribbed front tires fitted with performance foam inserts, mounted on 2.2" black-chrome 5-spoke Tracer wheels for traction and durability.
• Rubber-sealed ball bearings throughout for smooth operation and reduced wear.
• Precision hex hardware used across the chassis for secure, serviceable fastenings.
• Backed by Traxxas parts availability and support to keep the buggy running season after season.
• Requires battery and charger — battery and charger sold separately so you can choose your preferred pack and charging system.
