RC Bandito Races

Overview

RC Bandito Races are a series of Stunt Races in GTA Online, released on January 29, 2019, during RC Bandito Week as part of the Arena War update. They support 1 to 16 players and use only the RC Bandito, the remote-control buggy from Arena War. Players do not need to own one to take part, though owners can use their customized versions. The races are listed among the Stunt Races with an "RC" prefix.

How it works

Races default to three laps, and the host can raise this to as many as 25. Eight tracks launched with the series: RC - Air Traffic Control, RC - All Downhill From Here, RC - Beach Please, RC - Docking Around, RC - Go for 'broke, RC - Paleto Bae, RC - Tee'd Off and RC - Trailer Park Dash. Seven more arrived during RC Bandito Races Week on February 28, 2019: RC - Arena Tour, RC - Cargo Chaos, RC - Mirror Image, RC - Pierless, RC - Tour of Duty, RC - Tourist Trail and RC - Water Pressure. Because the RC Bandito is so small, ordinary objects such as docks, golf courses and trailer parks become huge obstacles.

Tips

• The RC Bandito is light and bounces easily, so ease off the throttle before jumps to land cleanly.
• Learn each track's shortcuts and tight lines, since small mistakes cost a lot at this scale.
• A customized RC Bandito helps, but any player can compete with the default one.

Rewards and unlocks

• Pays GTA$ and RP like other Stunt Races.
• No RC Bandito purchase is needed to play.
