Traxxas Rustler 4X4 VXL RTR Brushless (Green)

Traxxas Rustler 4X4 VXL brings stadium-truck speed and confident handling in a ready-to-run package. It’s built for drivers who want explosive acceleration, durable drivetrain components, and electronics that hold up to wet, dirty conditions. The truck is set up from the factory with VXL-3s electronics and the TQi radio so you can spend more time driving — just add a battery and charger.

Key Features

• Clipless ProGraphix body for fast, one-handed removal and service access.
• Reinforced inner cage for better shell support during hard landings and flips.
• Secure oversized latch that keeps the body tight at speed.
• Rugged roof rollover protector to reduce damage in rollovers.
• Molded composite plastic wing for consistent downforce and impact resistance.
• VXL-3s waterproof electronic speed control with selectable driving modes: Sport (forward/brake/reverse), Race (forward/brake), and patented Training Mode (50% forward/brake and 50% reverse) for learning throttle control.
• EZ-Set one-button setup on the ESC for quick programming of basic functions.
• Generous heat sink on the ESC to manage temperatures during high-speed runs.
• Built-in two-stage low-voltage detection for LiPo batteries to protect packs.
• ESC supports NiMH packs (6–9 cells, 7.2–10.8 volts) and LiPo packs (2–3 cells, 7.4–11.1 volts).
• Velineon 3500 brushless motor optimized for 1/10 performance with ultra high-temperature sintered Neodymium magnets, precision-balanced rotor, efficient high-speed ball bearings, and a low-maintenance Traxxas design.
• Brilliant blue-anodized finish on select aluminum components for corrosion resistance and cleaner looks.
• Traxxas Stability Management (TSM) improves acceleration and braking on low-traction surfaces, keeps steering composed during throttle-on slides, and can be adjusted from off up to 100% from the transmitter without reducing power.
• TQi 2.4 GHz high-output radio system: 2-channel transmitter with a 5-channel micro receiver (6533) that includes fail-safe and integrated telemetry ports.
• Transmitter stores settings for up to 30 Traxxas Link-enabled models when used with the optional Traxxas Link Wireless Module (6511), sold separately.
• Programmable multi-function knob and adjustable steering/throttle percentage, sensitivity (exponential), and end points for precise tuning.
• Patented waterproof receiver box protects the radio electronics in wet conditions.
• Low center-of-gravity chassis with a modular composite tub design for predictable handling.
• Latching battery hold-down plus a reinforced, integrated wheelie bar for controlled launches.
• High-approach front bumper designed to help climb curbs and obstacles.
• Drivetrain: larger heavy-duty driveshafts, oil-filled steel-gear front and rear differentials, high-capacity 32-pitch gearing, Torque Control heavy-duty slipper clutch with aluminum pads, and an anodized-aluminum center driveshaft.
• Steering: chassis-mounted 2075 digital high-torque waterproof servo with dual bellcrank geometry and integrated servo saver for consistent steering feedback.
• Suspension: adjustable toe and camber links, impact-resistant suspension arm composite, oil-filled Ultra Shocks, captured rod ends that won’t pop off, rugged front and rear shock towers, and white powder-coated progressive springs.
• Wheels & tires: 2.8-inch black chrome wheels fitted with Talon EXT tires for traction on varied surfaces.
• Sealed ball bearings throughout the drivetrain for reduced friction and longer life.
• Hex hardware finished with a rust-resistant black oxide coating for corrosion protection.
• Requires battery and charger (sold separately) — truck is supplied without the pack or charger so you can choose the setup that matches your driving goals.
