Amazing little dune buggy for the price. The xl5 and brushed motor makes this thing way faster than I imagined a brushed motor buggy to be. I bought this as a project to build up a sand slinger dune buggy and knew it was gonna go under the knife for lots of changes and upgrades, but I have had a blast just driving it around stock for a couple days. The bandit is iconic in rc, everyone knows that shape.

Skip the Latrax and go with one of these bad boys. I bought mine on a whim, and honestly, it’s super fun. The Titan 12T is plenty to get this thing moving. Heck, it does wheelies at will. For $200 it holds its own against my other (heavily modified) Traxxas models. Blows through the grass and is decent on the pavement.

Only drawbacks is that I wish it came with a better bumper. Bought the RPM replacement immediately. Also, all the hardware is Phillips head—which is ok, just strange.

All in all, decent little buggy, especially for the price.

Traxxas Bandit XL-5 1/10 RTR Buggy (Red)
after purchasing three other Traxxas products, I was dismayed at the level of cheapness! mostly the fasteners but the wheels with the pins directly in the wheels instead of the hubs sucks----pin was slipping out of the groove preventing removal of nut. not Amain fault. Just sad. now I need a full set of wheels with adapter blocks.

Amain service is good
