SPARE PARTS

Titan® 12-Turn 550 Modified Motor
Titan® 12-Turn 550 Modified Motor The Bandit includes a powerful Titan 12T 550 modified motor with internal cooling fan. An industry first for a high-performance Ready-To-Race® buggy. The Titan's over-sized armature (30% larger compared to 540-sized armatures) is equipped with 12-turns of pure copper wire for big torque and increased power-handling capabilities. Lower running temperatures are achieved with the integrated cooling fan. The Titan 12T requires very little maintenance and is designed for consistent torque and high speeds from run to run, without fading. Beyond the specs, the Titan 12T is made for dirt-roosting torque, lightning-quick acceleration, big-air jumps, and just about any other 4-wheel fun that demands real horsepower. Be sure to check out the videos to see it in action!

High-Torque Waterproof Steering Servo
High-Torque Waterproof Steering Servo A race buggy needs a powerful steering servo for responsive performance, and Traxxas delivers with the 2056 high-torque servo. This waterproof steering servo uses O-ring seals to keep the fun going when things get wet. Waterproof for all-weather action, the 2056 provides 80 oz-in of steering muscle. That's twice the power of typical "standard" servos.
Waterproof Receiver Box
Waterproof Receiver Box Bandit's innovative receiver box is fully waterproof, yet it's easy to access the receiver maintenance. The exclusive patent-pending design holds a 4-channel micro receiver that saves weight and provides reliable, long-range R/C performance.
Securely Mounted Electronics
Securely Mounted Electronics The ESC and watertight receiver box are screwed to the chassis for ultimate mounting security. There's no servo tape to loosen over time with dirt, heat, and collisions.
Durable Gray Parts
Durable Gray Parts The durable monocoque chassis tub is made from highest quality nylon composites. Many parts including the chassis, shock bodies, and transmission housing are now molded in gray for a fresh new look.
Revo®-Spec Torque-Control™ Slipper Clutch
slipper clutch Revo technology is utilized to manage the increased power from the Velineon 3500 brushless motor. The Torque-Control slipper clutch uses special semi-metallic friction material and finned aluminum alloy pressure plates to dissipate heat and provide consistent yet adjustable traction control.
The semi-metallic friction material remains stable across a wide temperature range to provide smooth, linear engagement you can count on, run after run. Spur gears can be removed and replaced without altering the slipper adjustment. (patent pending)
Alias™ Tires and Tracer™ Wheels
Alias™ Tires and Tracer™ Wheels Bandit comes with stylish 2.2" Tracer™ mirror-chrome five-spoke wheels. Performance-designed Alias™ 2.2" rear tires feature a step-pin design and come pre-glued from the factory.
New Alias™ ribbed front tires offer superior directional control, the tire combination provides sure-footed traction on a variety of off-road terrains. The industry standard 2.2" Tracer wheels allow for a wide array of accessory tires to be installed, including the new Traxxas Anaconda 2.2" street tires for Bandit and other buggies.
Anaconda 2.2" Tires (sold separately)
Anaconda 2.2 If your favorite place to race is an asphalt jungle, transform your Bandit into a menacing street machine with available Anaconda 2.2" street treads. These sticky, high-traction tires are made for aggressive handling on paved surfaces. The proven Anaconda design features large tread blocks that provide incredible grip and long-wearing performance. Buy them pre-glued and ready to install for instant on-road action. With Bandit's amazing 35+mph performance, you'll have the on-road touring crowd headed back to the workbench to try and figure out how to catch you.
Powder Coated White Springs
Powder Coated White Springs New white springs feature a race-tuned spring rate for more responsive handling and the long-lasting, white powder coated finish keeps Bandit looking good down the road.
Included Optional Pinion Gear
Pinion Gear The Bandit reaches its blistering 35+mph top speed using the optional 31-tooth pinion gear (included) and a 7-cell 8.4V battery pack (sold separately). Out of the box, the installed 26-tooth pinion gear is just right for all-around, on or off-road action.
ProGraphix® Painted Body
ProGraphix® Painted Body The Bandit's fully trimmed and painted ProGraphix body is available in red, blue, black, and silver.

Oil-Filled Ultra Shocks™
Oil Filled Ultra Shocks Bandit's oil-filled Ultra Shocks utilize X-ring technology for a perfect seal and super-smooth performance. They are fully tunable with a wide range of oils, springs, and pistons. Features include pressure bladders for air/oil separation and spring clips to precisely change the ride height and spring pre-load. They can be renewed in minutes with our inexpensive rebuild kits.
Brushless Ready Magnum 272™ Transmission
Brushless Ready Magnum The Bandit's Magnum 272 transmission is assembled with new all metal gear internals riding on ultra-smooth sealed ball bearings. Combined with the smooth 48-pitch gears, power is delivered quietly to the durable telescoping U-joint driveshafts. The sealed gearbox protects the transmission components from dirt and rocks.
Brushless Ready Planetary Gear Differential
plantetary gear diff The composite Traxxas planetary gear differential now features a steel ring gear with a nylon housing for long life. It uses hardened steel internal gears for maximum strength during rigorous off-road bashing. This type of differential requires virtually no maintenance and its efficient design puts maximum tire-shredding torque to the wheels.
Fiber Composite Arms
composite arms Proven suspension geometry is carried over from the race-winning Traxxas buggies. Solid, durable camber links take the guess work out of set-up and are captured to keep you on the track even when the going gets rough. Captured rod ends provide unmatched durability and they simply won't pop off unexpectedly.
Bellcrank Steering
bellcrank steering High-performance bellcrank steering system minimizes bump steer to increase cornering stability.
Telescoping Driveshafts
drive shafts Slider driveshafts are extremely durable, lightweight, and they allow greater articulation for increased suspension travel.
