RC Bandito in GTA 5

Overview

The RC Bandito is a miniature remote control style buggy in the Off-Road class, sold for $1,590,000 through Southern San Andreas Super Autos. It seats 2 in scale despite its toy like size and is built for chasing enemies into tight spaces rather than outright speed. In community testing it reaches 59.5 mph flat out and laps the benchmark circuit in 1:39.616, by far the slowest figures among vehicles in this batch, which fits its tiny 85 mass. All wheel drive and its small footprint let it squeeze through gaps and up surfaces that no full sized Off-Road vehicle could manage. Rockstar added the RC Bandito in the Arena War update on January 29, 2019. It is stored at the Arena rather than in a standard Garage.
