Bandit HD 1/10 Brushed RTR (battery/USB-C charger included)

Experience the razor-sharp handling and raw, lightweight speed that only a true 2WD racing buggy can deliver.

The Traxxas Bandit takes the proven durability of the legendary 2WD lineup and strips away the bulk, resulting in a streamlined, lightweight missile built for speed and precision. Its low center of gravity and aerodynamic chassis mean it slices through the air and carves tight corners on dirt tracks and asphalt alike. If you want a rig that prioritizes blistering acceleration and responsive handling over monster truck ground clearance, the Bandit is your go-to machine.

This latest version of the Bandit (24254-8) is tougher than ever. Traxxas has pre-installed their Extreme Heavy Duty (EHD) suspension components right from the factory, drastically reinforcing the suspension arms, C-hubs, and axle carriers to handle hardcore bashing. Packaged as a complete Ready-To-Race (RTR) kit, it includes a potent 8.4V NiMH battery and a 4-amp USB-C fast charger, so you have absolutely everything you need to hit the track and start throwing roosts.

Why You'll Love It

• Factory-Installed EHD Upgrades: The Extreme Heavy Duty suspension components reinforce the buggy's most vulnerable stress points, letting you take on bigger jumps and rougher tumbles without snapping plastics.
• Titan 12T Power: Thanks to the Bandit's incredibly light 3-pound chassis, the massive torque of the Titan 12-Turn 550 brushed motor pushes this buggy to an impressive 35+ MPH right out of the box with the included 7-cell battery.
• Alias Racing Tires: Factory-glued Alias stepped-pin rear tires deliver massive forward bite on loose dirt, while the ribbed front tires provide absolute steering precision without aggressively digging in and traction-rolling the car.
• Training Mode Equipped: The waterproof XL-5 ESC features Traxxas' exclusive Training Mode, cutting speed and power by 50% with the push of a button—perfect for letting newer drivers get the hang of a fast, nimble buggy.

Pro-Tip: Because the Bandit sits lower than a Rustler or Stampede, keep an eye on your running surfaces. It excels on prepped dirt, short grass, and street, but avoid deep, chunky rocks or tall, thick grass. Running in super tall grass will constantly drag the chassis and can quickly overheat your brushed motor!
