Traxxas Rustler VXL RTR Brushless (Green)

The Traxxas Rustler VXL Truck brings stadium-truck handling and brushless speed to a ready-to-run 1/10 package. Built for bashing and high-speed runs, it combines a Velineon 3500 brushless motor, the VXL-3s speed control and Traxxas Stability Management so you can drive hard on loose surfaces without losing composure. This green Rustler is skill level 2 and requires a battery and charger (sold separately).

Key Features

• ProGraphix painted body — pre-painted finish with applied decals for a race-ready look and an aggressive, aerodynamic shell with a rear wing.
• VXL-3s electronic speed control (waterproof design) — selectable Sport Mode (Forward/Brake/Reverse) and Race Mode (Forward/Brake), plus Traxxas EZ-Set one-button setup and a large heat sink for cooler operation.
• Built-in battery protection — two-stage low-voltage detection for LiPo packs and support for NiMH packs (4–9 cells) and LiPo packs (2–3 cells).
• Training Mode — patented 50% forward/brake and 50% reverse setting for beginner-friendly throttle control.
• Velineon 3500 brushless motor — ultra high-temperature sintered Neodymium magnets, precision-balanced rotor, efficient high-speed ball bearings, low-maintenance design and blue-anodized finish; 3500 kV performance.
• Traxxas Stability Management (TSM) — improves straight-line acceleration and braking on low-traction surfaces, keeps steering composed during throttle-on powerslides and can be adjusted from off to 100% from the transmitter.
• TQi 2.4 GHz high-output radio system — 2-channel transmitter with a 5-channel micro receiver (6533) offering fail-safe security and integrated telemetry ports.
• Traxxas Link compatibility — works with the optional TQi Traxxas Link Wireless Module (6511) to access app tuning and stores settings for up to 30 Traxxas Link-enabled models.
• Radio tuning options — programmable multi-function knob, adjustable steering and throttle percentage (dual rates), sensitivity (exponential) and end points.
• Patented sealed receiver box — keeps the receiver protected in wet or dirty conditions.
• Tough fiber-composite monocoque chassis — wide, low-profile layout for stable handling with electronics securely fastened to the chassis.
• Magnum 272 transmission — metal-gear gearset with a Torque-Control slipper clutch system for consistent power delivery.
• Planetary differential — steel ring-gear planetary differential for reliable traction and long life.
• Sealed gearbox — protects the drivetrain and includes a beefed-up motor guard and an external gear cover for easy slipper access.
• Heavy-duty driveshafts — telescoping U-joint driveshafts and yokes built for aggressive driving.
• Digital high-torque 2075 steering servo — full-digital, waterproof-rated servo for precise steering input.
• High-performance bellcrank — minimizes bump steer for steadier handling over rough terrain.
• Adjustable steel turnbuckles — let you fine-tune camber and steering geometry.
• Captured rod ends — designed so linkages stay put and won't pop off during hard use.
• Fully tunable Ultra Shocks — oil-filled with X-ring technology and white powder-coated springs for consistent damping and springing.
• Pre-glued tires — Alias step-pin rear tires and ribbed front tires fitted with performance foam inserts for traction and control.
• 2.8" All-Star wheels — black-chrome finish for a race-inspired look.
• Rubber-sealed ball bearings — reduce friction across the drivetrain and wheel hubs.
• Precision hex hardware — machine-fit hardware for secure assembly.
• Traxxas support — backed by broad parts availability and service support.
• Requires battery and charger — battery and charger sold separately so you can pick the battery type and capacity you prefer.
