Traxxas Bandit VXL RTR Brushless (Blue)

The Traxxas Bandit VXL is a low-slung 1/10 buggy built for high-speed runs and quick handling. With the Velineon brushless power system, waterproof electronics, and Traxxas Stability Management, it gives you serious speed headroom and more control when the surface gets loose or slippery.

This blue RTR package comes fully assembled, so the core electronics and driveline are already in place. The Bandit VXL uses the Magnum 272R transmission, a sealed bevel-gear differential, a fiber-composite monocoque chassis, and fully adjustable Ultra Shocks with X-ring technology.
