The briefing
The RC Bandito rollout introduced the remote-controlled vehicle and eight dedicated races. Arena Workshop owners could purchase it from Southern San Andreas Super Autos and use its workstation for mines, visual changes and jumping-related customization.
Ownership was not required to enter the new races. The announcement explicitly allowed players without a workshop or custom Bandito to participate, with double GTA$ and RP attached to the launch promotion.
That distinction made the race series a way to try the vehicle before committing to the workshop and purchase costs. The Bandito was deployed through the interaction-menu inventory route described at launch, while customization took place at its Arena workstation. The accompanying February cash campaign was a separate dated reward, rather than cash included with the vehicle.
