Bandit VXL is a driver's machine that will put your skills to the test with its mind-blowing top speed and lightning quick handling response.
Traxxas Stability Management
Traxxas Stability Management (TSM) lets you experience the Bandit’s extreme power, speed, and acceleration by making it much easier to control on slippery surfaces such as loose dirt, smooth concrete, and even ice and snow. Go ahead, punch it off the line! TSM senses the vehicle’s direction and makes steering corrections to provide full throttle acceleration without fishtailing or spinouts. When cornering, TSM intuitively corrects the vehicle’s line for faster exit speeds. TSM even improves braking by keeping the buggy arrow straight until you reach a complete stop. TSM does all this without intruding on driving fun or introducing unexpected side effects. TSM can be fine-tuned (or turned off) for different surfaces by simply adjusting the multi-function knob on the TQi transmitter, or by adjusting the slider in the Traxxas Link app. Drive faster and have more fun with TSM. You may not even realize how much it is helping until you try to drive without it.
*NOTE: With 3S LiPo battery and optional 33-tooth pinion gear (sold separately).

First off, AMain's shipping kicks arse. Ordered on Tuesday, and had it Thursday morning, and this was with FREE shipping.
Anyhow, it came in perfect condition, with all fasteners tight...and it runs flawlessly. Zero complaints. Now I am looking at a few upgrades, but overall I am 100% happy with my experience with AMain and Traxxas.
If you are on the fence...just buy it. Also, please buy from a shop like AMain and not Amazon. We need to support these business before Amazon is the only option.
Be sure to get the correct size battery (135mm length). The 3S 25C 5000 Doesn’t fit the battery tray (155mm).
If you are on the fence about buying it definitely I have a brother and a cousin into RC and I have convinced them to get a Bandit.
