The original Traxxas Bandit RC Buggy was first introduced back in 1995 and is Traxxas’ 1/10 scale 2WD off road buggy. Sharing most of its parts with the Rustler, including the main chassis, motor, speed controls, transmission , rear shocks and shock tower, and radio system. The key differences between the two being the shorter front and rear suspension arms, camber and steering links, buggy style and smaller diameter and narrower wheels and tyres, and a buggy styled lexan/polycarbonate body shell with rear wing.

Later releases of the Traxxas Bandit saw the XL-1 ESC replacing the original 3 speed mechanical speed controller. This was followed again in 2005 with Traxxas replacing the XL-1 with the new waterproof XL-5 ESC. This all new model came with the same upgrades as the Rustler XL-5 except the wheels. The Bandit XL-5 featured larger diameter 2.2 inch wheels that were also wider and allows the owner to run pretty much any 2.2″ buggy tyres.

Supplied fully ready to run the Traxxas Bandit was and still is available as a fully ready to run radio controlled buggy.
