Some of these come ready to run while others give you the full freedom to customize every last part of the driving experience. Get ready to run the extreme sports buggy.

Take a look at the Traxxas Bandit XL-5, which comes in a convenient 1/10 scale size. Simply add a battery and charger, which are completely interchangeable with several of Traxxas’ other models, and you’re ready to go. It’s really that easy to go. Since it uses high-efficiency MOSFET transistors and a Magnum 272 three-gear ball bearing-driven transmission, you can be sure that you’re driving the latest technology each time you put your fingers on the controls.

In fact, some models even come more complete than this. This is ideal for those who might not have any gear as of yet.

VXL Bandits are equally as customizable, especially when the TQi Link-Enabled Radio System. Traxxas Stability Management gives these vehicles the power to stay upright even in situations when they might not otherwise be able to. They are even capable of speeds over 70 MPH, so you’ll certainly want something helping you keep them upright.

Traxxas Bandit Upgrades And Parts

Once you’re invested in a genuine Traxxas Bandit, you’re going to want to keep your eyes peeled for tons of cool accessories. Traxxas’ designers haven’t left drivers out to dry, either. They’ve put together extra battery packs and chargers, which can help to ensure that you have plenty of power while you’re out on the track.

You’ll also find things like waterproof and metal-geared servos, which are an important upgrade for anyone who is going to be going through any amount of looser earth or wetter material. Considering how common this can be for off-road drivers, it’s not hard to imagine that this has become a popular upgrade.

Extra controllers, shocks and other replacement parts are always a necessity for anyone doing real driving. On top of this, you’ll want to make sure you get a speed bit kit so you can be sure that you’ll have the tools you’ll need on hand for any occasion. These come with most of what you’ll need to swap things out in your car.
