Product Description

Traxxas Bandit VXL 1/10 Scale 2wd Buggy with Magnum 272R Transmission, Purple

The Bandit™ VXL is a low-slung, lightweight speed machine that scorches pavement with wheelie-popping acceleration and rips incredible roost off-road. Bandit VXL is a driver’s machine that puts your skills to the test with its mind-blowing 70+ mph top speed and lightning-quick handling. The Bandit VXL elevates buggy performance to the next level with incredible Velineon™ brushless horsepower and the sure-footed control of Traxxas Stability Management®. Bandit’s fully waterproof electronics make even the wildest all-weather adventures possible as you shatter speed limits and discover a new world of RC excitement.

Pro Series Magnum 272R™ Transmission

The Magnum 272R uses a new low-profile housing with a rock-solid 3.2 mm aluminum motor plate. A hardened steel top shaft and all-metal gears send power to a sealed, silicone-filled 4-gear differential for maximum traction. A removable panel gives you easy access to the differential for tuning with different viscosity fluids. Originally developed for the hard-hitting Drag Slash, the Magnum 272R delivers competition-grade performance for your Bandit VXL.

Proven, Class-Leading Velineon Brushless Power

The Velineon brushless motor and electronic speed control (ESC) deliver the ultimate in efficiency, speed, and run time. With the Bandit VXL, your battery selection determines your speed and skill level. Velineon accepts a wide range of batteries, including powerful 3-cell LiPo packs. These packs pump out over 11 volts of power for intense, skill level 5 speeds beyond 70 mph! Built-in low-voltage detection in the VXL-3s™ ESC helps you maintain your LiPo packs in top condition.

Traxxas Stability Management®
Micro Receiver, TQi 2.4GHz with Traxxas Link and TSM (5-channel) (#6533) (three-quarter view)Traxxas Stability Management (TSM) works behind the scenes to help prevent spinouts and loss of control on slippery surfaces. TSM senses the vehicle’s direction and makes steering corrections to provide full throttle acceleration without fishtailing or spinouts. When cornering, TSM intuitively corrects the vehicle’s line for faster exit speeds. Learn more

New Beadlock-Style Wheels and Alias Tires
The Bandit rides on aggressive black and chrome multi-spoke wheels with pre-glued tires and foam inserts. Alias step-pin rear tires and ribbed front tires keep the Bandit firmly planted on extreme off-road terrain.

The standard 2.2″ wheels accept a wide array of accessory tires including the Traxxas Anaconda® 2.2″ street tires for Bandit and other buggies.

Included Optional Pinion Gear
The Bandit VXL reaches a scorching 70+mph top speed using an optional 33-tooth pinion gear and a 3-cell 11.1V Lithium-polymer battery pack (sold separately). Out of the box, the installed 26-tooth pinion gear is just right for all-around, on or off-road action. Installing the included optional 28-tooth pinion gear opens the door to 60+mph speeds.
