I wasn’t sure how durable the Traxxas Bandit would be, but after multiple crashes into curbs and hard landings from jumps, it still runs like new. The XL5 system provides consistent power, and the rechargeable battery lasts longer than expected. Perfect for weekend fun in the backyard or at the park. My husband and kids take turns driving it—highly recommend for any family looking for an outdoor toy that holds up.

I didn’t know I needed an RC truck until I got this one. Now I host 'Friday Night Drifts' in my driveway. The Traxxas Bandit XL5 is responsive, powerful, and ridiculously fun for all ages. My grandkids love watching it fly, and I love pretending I’m a professional driver. Pro tip: Add LED lights — makes night runs epic. Zero regrets, only speed.

Solid RC truck overall. Took a tumble off a ramp and the front bumper popped off — but honestly, that’s on me, not the truck. Everything else held up great. Runs longer than my last phone battery, which says a lot. Only reason I’m not giving 5 stars? The instructions could use more pictures. But hey, YouTube fixed that.

This thing is a beast! Handles jumps, dirt, and even a little water like it’s nothing. The speed is insane for a beginner-friendly model. My nephew was able to control it easily, even with limited RC experience.

Got the Traxxas Bandit XL5 for my son and he's absolutely loving it. Fast out of the box, easy to charge, and super durable on rough terrain. We’ve been driving it non-stop for two weekends now and no issues so far. Great value for a ready-to-run RC truck.

Solid performance and quick assembly. Took about 20 minutes to get it fully set up. Only knocked one star because the manual could be clearer on battery installation. Otherwise, runs smooth and looks awesome.

Got this for my son’s birthday and now I’m the one playing with it. Can’t resist how smooth it runs! Charges fast, goes crazy fast, and survives crashes like nothing. We raced it against his friend’s RC truck and left it in the dust. Worth every penny for the joy it brings. Plus, cleanup? Just hose it down like a muddy puppy.

This Traxxas Bandit XL5 is an absolute beast on wheels! I took it off-roading last weekend and it handled mud, jumps, and even my neighbor's mailbox like a champ. Super fast out of the box — my dog barked at it twice thinking it was a real race car. Assembly was a breeze, and the red finish turns heads at the park. 10/10 would recommend for anyone who wants speed, durability, and endless fun.
