Battery and Charger Included!
Bandit includes a powerful 8.4-volt 3000 mAh Power Cell rechargeable NiMH battery pack to reach its blazing 35+mph top speed. A powerful 4-amp 12V DC fast charger comes in the box for quick charging in the field. An optional #2976 40-watt AC adapter (sold separately) transforms a common wall outlet into a robust power source for the included 4-amp NiMH fast charger.
New LED Lighting
Bandit now includes LED lighting as standard equipment for more fun after dark. Thick impact-resistant bumpers protect the lights against crash damage with fully-waterproof construction for all-weather fun.
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 reaches its blistering 35+mph top speed on-road using the optional 31-tooth pinion gear (included) and a 7-cell 8.4V battery pack (sold separately). Out of the box, the installed 21-tooth pinion gear is just right for all-around, on or off-road action.
Brushless Ready Magnum 272™ Transmission
The Bandit's Magnum 272 transmission features metal gears riding on ultra-smooth sealed ball bearings. Combined with the smooth 48-pitch gears, power transfers quietly to the durable telescoping U-joint driveshafts. The sealed gearbox protects the transmission components from dirt and rocks. Best of all, the Magnum 272 is built Traxxas Tough™ to handle massive brushless power without the need for costly upgrades.
Brushless-Ready Planetary Gear Differential
The planetary gear differential uses hardened steel internal gears for maximum strength during rigorous off-road bashing. This type of differential requires virtually no maintenance and its efficient design puts maximum tire-shredding power to the wheels.
The Bandit comes Ready-To-Race® out of the box with the TQ 2.4GHz 2-channel radio system, waterproof XL-5 ESC, and included 8.4V battery and charger. With over 30 years in the hobby industry, Traxxas goes the extra mile to ensure that your RC experience is easy and fun.
