Traxxas Rustler Stadium Truck RTR Brushed XL-5

The Traxxas Rustler Stadium Truck is a ready-to-run 1/10 2WD stadium truck tuned for high-speed bashing and casual racing. Waterproof electronics, a pre-painted ProGraphix body and the TQ 2.4 GHz radio get you on track quickly. It's beginner-friendly (skill level 1) yet durable enough for experienced drivers who want a low-maintenance fun rig.

Key Features

• ProGraphix painted body with factory-applied decals for a finished look out of the box.
• Aggressive, aerodynamic shell with a rear wing that helps stability at speed.
• Waterproof XL-5 electronic speed control so you can drive through wet or muddy conditions without worries.
