More info
The Traxxas Bandit HD w/USB-C is a 1/10 scale buggy built on the Traxxas Bandit platform. The buggy is Ready-To-Race® and reaches 35+ mph with a 7-cell battery. The buggy is skill level 1, which suits beginners.
Body, chassis and suspension
The body is a ProGraphix® body that arrives pre-painted, with decals already applied. It has an aggressive, aerodynamic shape and a rear wing. Underneath sits a tough fiber-composite monocoque chassis with a wide, low-profile design for increased stability. All electronics are securely fastened to the chassis.
Extreme heavy-duty parts are installed, including strengthened caster blocks, axle carriers, and steering blocks. The suspension arms are HD suspension arms. Durable solid camber links eliminate the need for adjustment, and captured rod ends won't pop off. Fully adjustable oil-filled Ultra Shocks™ with X-ring technology work with white powder-coated springs.
The wheels are 2.2″ black multi-spoke wheels. The tires are pre-glued Alias® step-pin rear tires and ribbed front tires with performance foam inserts. The vehicle also has Precision Hex Hardware.
Motor
The motor is the Titan® 12T 550, a high-speed brushed motor. This powerful modified motor has an internal cooling fan. An oversized armature provides big torque and increased power handling, and operation is virtually maintenance-free.
The motor weighs 8.47 ounces (240 g). It measures 3.07 inches (78 mm) overall length and 2.25 inches (57 mm) can length, with a diameter of 1.41 inches (36 mm). The shaft size is 3 mm, and the connector type is Bullet.
Speed control
The ESC is the high-performance Waterproof XL-5 ESC with low-voltage detection. It has an innovative design and is a brushed type that supports forward and reverse. The low-voltage detection is two-stage, and the ESC is compatible with LiPo and NiMH batteries. Traxxas EZ-Set® one-button setup is built in.
The ESC offers three drive profiles:
- Sport Mode: forward / brake / reverse
- Race Mode: forward / brake
- Training Mode™ (patented): 50% forward / brake / 50% reverse
The ESC case measures 1.23 inches (31 mm) / 2.18 inches (55 mm) / 0.61 inches (15 mm). The ESC weighs 2.44 ounces (69 g). The ESC motor connectors are Bullet, and the battery connectors are Traxxas High-Current Connectors. The power wire is 14 gauge.
Transmission, driveline and steering
Drive is 2WD, through the Magnum 272™ transmission. The transmission has metal gears and is brushless-ready. The differential is a planetary gear differential with a steel ring gear. The internal gear ratio is 2.72 (final drive: 12.34), and the gear pitch is 48 pitch.
A Torque-Control™ slipper clutch system is installed. The sealed gearbox protects the transmission, and a beefed-up motor guard is fitted. An external gear cover gives easy clutch access. The driveshafts and yokes are heavy-duty telescoping u-joint types.
The steering servo is the Traxxas 2056, a high-torque waterproof servo. A high-performance bellcrank system minimizes bump steer.
