Traxxas RTR 1/10 Bandit Extreme Sports with Water Proof XL-5 RTR and 7 Cell Battery with Charger

 (14 customer reviews)

I got the traxxas stampede electirc version. It was really good at about 30 mph it was pretty fast. The Bandit tops it as alot faster and more durable. I Ramped the bandit off a 3 ft ramp (on to concrete) but only got 2 weels on the ramp and it fliped and did 5 cartwheels and landed up side down about 25 ft from the ramp. I went and filpped it over and it worked perfect. I highly suggest this car if you are looking for a nice cheaap electic rc car.

PS: if you get this definatly get the traxxas ez-peak charger it is worth it. With out the ez charger it takes 8 hours to charge and give you about 30 min of run time. With the ez peak it takes an hour to charge for 30 min run time.

My first entry into hobby class r/c vehicles. This can't be compared to anything you'll find at TargMart or We R Toys.
I'm still breaking in the motor at half power, but WOW- Crazy fast, durable and very awesome. I can't wait to let it rip.
Heavy weight servos, and if you ever need them- parts are widely available and an 1-800 support number if you need help. No more of that 'something little is broken, I'll have to throw it away!
Everything is included except 8 AA batteries for the controller.
You may also want to get the EZ-Peak charger. (1 hour VS 8.5 hour charge time compared to the standard charger).
Banged it into some curbs, rolled it, jumped it - and not even a wimper.

Put those old $50 r/c cars in a yard sale and step up- you earned it :)

I'll start by stating that I rarely write reviews unless it is a truly amazing product/experience or the opposite and I feel the need to warn people. A couple of weeks ago we decided to buy one of our dogs, Smokie (an Italian Greyhound) a new toy, we first went to Toys R' Us and bought their most expensive RC toy and immediately returned it. Then I did some research and found The Bandit. I was certainly hesitant to drop $200 on an RC toy for our dog but then something said go for it and the results have been nothing short of a BLAST!

You'll see in the video that I run this wide open from the moment I opened it, no break-in period or anything of the sort, just flat out fast as it'll run. The durability has been truly impressive, I've ran into into trees, up the trees, into fences, into a stone wall and although a few accidents have required some minor repair it is back and running within an hour or two at max. I even burned up the first motor...Read more
