TRX-24254-8-GRN Traxxas Bandit XL-5 1/10 2WD Extreme Sports Buggy with Battery — Green

About This Buggy

The Traxxas Bandit is a 1/10 scale 2WD extreme sports buggy built for all-out bashing fun right out of the box. With 35+ mph top speed, factory-installed Extreme Heavy-Duty suspension components, and fully waterproof electronics, the Bandit punches well above its price point. Equally at home on pavement, gravel, or dirt — it rips rooster tails, soars over jumps, and takes a beating without complaint.

The Bandit XL-5 (model 24254-8) includes an 8.4V NiMH battery and a 4-amp USB-C charger. Note: the included USB-C charger requires an external 45-watt or greater USB-C power source and cable, both sold separately. The Traxxas 45-watt AC adapter (2912) and USB-C power cable (2916) are recommended.
