Traxxas Rustler Stadium Truck RTR XL-5 (Blue)

The Traxxas Rustler Stadium Truck is a ready-to-run 1/10 stadium truck built to deliver fast, dependable fun right out of the box. Waterproof XL-5 speed control and a pre-painted ProGraphix body with rear wing make it an easy choice for beginners and experienced drivers who want a tough truck for bashing and backyard laps. The package includes the TQ 2.4 GHz radio system but requires battery and charger (sold separately).

Key Features

• ProGraphix painted body — fully pre-painted shell with applied decals and an aerodynamic profile with a rear wing for stable high-speed runs.
• Waterproof XL-5 electronic speed control — sealed design handles wet conditions and includes Sport (forward/brake/reverse), Race (forward/brake) and patented Training Mode (50% forward/brake, 50% reverse).
• EZ-Set one-button setup — quick setup for throttle and safety without digging through menus.
• LiPo and NiMH compatible — two-stage low-voltage detection supports both battery types for flexible power choices.
• Titan 12T 550 motor — modified 550 with an internal cooling fan and an oversized armature for strong torque and reliable power handling.
• Designed for virtually maintenance-free operation so you spend more time driving than wrenching.
• TQ 2.4 GHz 2-channel radio system — ergonomic transmitter with internal antenna and Traxxas 6519 3-channel micro receiver with fail-safe for secure control.
• Watertight receiver box — patented O-ring sealed box keeps the micro receiver dry during wet runs.
• Fiber-composite monocoque chassis — wide, low-profile layout increases stability and keeps electronics mounted securely to the chassis.
• Easy access battery compartment — fits 6-cell flat packs, 7-cell hump packs, and short-form 2-cell LiPo packs to match your preferred battery style.
• Magnum 272 metal-gear transmission — brushless-ready gearbox built for durability and higher-power upgrades.
• Torque-Control slipper clutch — protects drivetrain components and tunes traction feel for different surfaces.
• Planetary gear differential — steel ring gear for long life and consistent performance.
• Sealed gearbox and beefed-up motor guard — protects the transmission and motor from debris and impacts; external gear cover gives easy clutch access.
• Heavy-duty telescoping U-joint driveshafts and yokes — rugged driveline parts stand up to hard landings and rough terrain.
• Steering — high-torque, waterproof Traxxas 2056 steering servo combined with a high-performance bellcrank system to reduce bump steer.
• Suspension — solid camber links that remove the need for adjustment and captured rod ends that stay in place during aggressive driving.
• Ultra Shocks with X-ring technology — fully adjustable oil-filled shocks paired with white powder-coated springs for predictable damping.
• Wheels and tires — pre-glued Alias step-pin rear tires and ribbed front tires mounted on 2.8" mirror-chrome All-Star wheels with performance foam inserts.
• Support and parts availability — backed by Traxxas support and widespread replacement parts to keep the truck on the track.
• Requires battery and charger — sold separately so you can pick the battery type and charger that fit your driving style.
