Traxxas supports its RC vehicles with a complete line of spare parts, upgrade accessories, batteries, chargers, and pro-grade tools.

Unlike disposable toy-grade vehicles, Traxxas hobby-grade vehicles are designed for easy repair and maintenance to provide years of fun. Traxxas maintains a complete line of replacement parts and performance upgrades to keep your investment in running peak form. These parts are readily available through hobby stores and online retailers. Traxxas supports your purchase with a full line of replacement parts and upgrade accessories. Whether you’re looking to replace a broken part or light up your ride with a full LED kit, Traxxas parts and accessories are built to the same tough standards as our vehicles. That means Traxxas parts and accessories are easy to install with helpful exploded views, instruction sheets, and how-to videos. There is no easier or safer way to charge your batteries than the Traxxas iD system. Just plug in a Traxxas iD-equipped LiPo or NiMH battery into a Traxxas iD-equipped EZ-Peak charger and press the Start button. That’s all there is to it! The iD system detects which iD-equipped battery you are using and automatically configures the settings for the optimal charge. Bandit elevates your RC buggy experience to the next level. A sleek, lightweight chassis delivers razor-sharp handling and blazing 35+ mph speed. Bandit rips massive rooster tails, soars over jumps, and lays down the power for excitement at every turn. Equally at home off-road or on pavement, Bandit’s fully waterproof electronics make even the wildest all-weather adventures possible. Factory-installed Extreme HD suspension components are beefed up with extra material and reinforcing to keep you in the action, not on the repair bench. An 8.4-volt 3000 mAh NiMH battery pack pushes Bandit to 35+ mph and beyond, paired with a fast 4-amp USB-C charger. Bandit's powerful Titan motor and XL-5 speed control deliver 35+ mph speed and wheel-standing starts with easy one-button setup and waterproof security. Bandit is a low-slung powerhouse with nimble handling and blazing speed. Bandit’s aggressive Alias tires bite into loose dirt for outstanding grip and quick reflexes. Oil-filled shocks smooth out the ride to keep the tires firmly planted on the ground for maximum traction. The Traxxas TQ remote uses 2.4 GHz technology to provide long-distance control with smooth, glitch-free performance. Oil-filled Ultra Shocks soak up surface imperfections to keep Bandit planted and easy to control at high speeds. Bandit rides on 2.2″ Tracer wheels with pre-glued Alias Step-Pin rear tires and ribbed front tires for extreme traction. Bandit’s Magnum 272 transmission and differential feature durable, all-metal gears with a Torque-Control clutch that’s easy to adjust.

Brings me back!
Color: Red
This car reminds me of the grasshopper I first used when I was like 12 or 13 years old back in the 80's. Its definitely fun, it takes ni-cad or lithium ion 2S batteries. Controller works well. It's the only 2 wheel drive car I have and I enjoy the different handling characteristics. It is in its element on pavement, its ok on packed dirt. In grass this is not at its best, that is not a dig, its just not meant for that. For the great price of this car, if you have access to a large paved area or live in a development this is a perfect car to run up and down the road. You can also grow with this car, there are axle upgrades, tire upgrades, servo upgrades, and ESC upgrades to handle larger motors that turn this car into performance capability rivaling cars at twice the cost or more. This is a hobby grade car, it is 100x better that anything you will buy at a box store. ... show more

RTR*
Color: Blue
I’m guessing the front tires should be just as glued as the rears (which are glued)? How about inner foams? Kinda, pretty lame that RTR needs an asterisk.
