Bought the XL5 Bandit roughly 2 years ago after seeing it in a hobby shop window. My last car years ago was the Tyco/Metro Jet Hopper so this reminded me of it big time!.

Bought it and have spent many $$ doing it up to my liking, such a great variety of parts and motor options if you get used to the stock brushed set up.

Worth buying for a first car for your kids, or even yourself if your starting out.

Comes with a metal cogged gearbox so its brushless ready when you decide to update motors etc.

Highly recommend! :)

Buy one and make it yours!

There's so many upgrades etc available you'll spend hours working out what you want ! :)

I have been in the hobby for 5 years now and this was my first real rc car, i never got any upgrades for it untill i got a traxxas rustler VXL and that blows this away big time obviously! i got heaps of upgrades for the rustler and swaped the motor and ESC into this and i smoked the diff, so it cant handle the brushless power (i wasnt even using lipo) but anyway great car for beginners 5/5 for that 'great buggy crashed it ALOT and never broke, still got it to in my collection of about 9 cars 5 years later

This was my first rc and I loved it. Bought it new from ebay. It took tons of punishment around the track and the only problem I had was a rear tire getting ripped to shreds when I hung it up in a wall. The only gripe I have about it is I wish the front tires were a bit bigger so that it would corner a little faster.
