Overview
The Traxxas Bandit is the perfect buggy to get you started in the great hobby of RC (Radio Control).
The Titan 12T 550 motor has an inbuilt cooling fan reducing running temperatures and allowing faster speeds and longer run times without having to worry about overheating. Precise control is easy with the included 2.4 GHz TQ radio system.
Hobbies Direct recommends using Traxxas' patented Training Mode as it limits the power output of the model to 50%, which makes practising much easier and safer — also a great idea when giving friends a try.

Training Mode: Traxxas' patented Training Mode reduces the power output of the car to 50%.
Drive With Confidence: Traxxas' 2.4GHz TQ transmitter has a range of over 300 metres and has no trouble with multiple cars driving around at once. Designed to be very comfortable, lightweight (only uses 4 AA batteries), and easy to use.
40 Minute Charge: Charge with Traxxas' 4 Amp fast charger — just plug it into your car's cigarette port and start charging.
Traxxas ID Connectors: Secure, easy to use, high-current, with an RFID chip that tells the charger what settings to charge on.
XL5 ESC: Handles NiMH and LiPo batteries, with three programmable modes: Training Mode (50% forward with brake and 50% reverse), Sports Mode (100% forward with brake and 100% reverse — default), and Race Mode (100% forward with brake and no reverse).

I purchased this car for my 9 years old to learn on. Though fairly heavy, it seems to be fairly robust, which is what I was looking for. It comes with everything you might need to get started. My only complaint would be that the charger is a bit flakey. Batteries only charge fully about half the time; the other half the charger turns off completely (no lights) at a random point during the charge. [The fuse is fine, and I tried two different batteries and a 12V power source.]

Great fast car for 2WD buggie brushed motor, worth saving up for a Traxxas RC car - better quality and easy to controll=.

Great place to start an RC hobby... But after about 4 outings I wished I had just bought the VXL Bandit. I didn't know they had speed settings and could have just put the VXL in Noob mode until i was ready for a 120 kph weapon. So if it's for a kid it'll be fine. If it's for an adult that has always wanted one as a kid and can now afford to maintain this fun little hobby then save the extra and get the VXL and a spare set of wheels and tyres cos the standard ones will be bald in about 2 outings. Heaps of fun though and tough as nails.

Not a bad car but the battery runs flat way to fast and the fact that you've just paid $350 for the car finding out that you then have to pay another $60 just so you can charge it is very disappointing.
