Traxxas 24254-8-REDX – Bandit 1/10 2WD Buggy RTR – Red-X
1/10 scale 2WD race buggy with waterproof XL-5™ ESC, Titan® 12T 550 motor and TQ™ 2.4 GHz radio. Ready-To-Race® with 8.4 V 3000 mAh 7-cell NiMH battery with iD® and 4-amp USB-C fast charger.
Bandit® is a 1/10 scale 2WD race buggy with an aggressive, aerodynamic body and rear wing. The Titan 12T modified motor takes it past 35 mph (56 km/h) on the included 7-cell battery, and extreme heavy-duty caster blocks, axle carriers, steering blocks and HD suspension arms are installed from the factory. This version comes with the Red-X ProGraphix® painted body.
Bandit is rated skill level 1 and no previous R/C experience is required. Training Mode limits throttle and reverse to 50 % for new drivers. Battery and USB-C charger are included, so only four AA batteries for the transmitter and a USB-C power source are needed.
