Traxxas Rustler Stadium Truck RTR XL-5 (Orange)

Traxxas Rustler Stadium Truck is a ready-to-run 1/10 stadium truck that blends straight-line speed and everyday durability. It ships with waterproof XL-5 electronics and a TQ radio so you can get on the track quickly; note that a battery and charger are required.

Key Features

• ProGraphix painted body — pre-painted shell with applied decals for a finished look straight out of the box, plus an aggressive aerodynamic shape and rear wing for stable high-speed handling.
• High-performance waterproof XL-5 ESC — sealed design protects electronics from water and mud while offering Sport (forward/brake/reverse), Race (forward/brake) and Training Mode (50% forward/brake, 50% reverse) for controlled learning.
• Traxxas EZ-Set one-button setup included on the XL-5 for fast, simple programming of the speed control.
• Compatible with NiMH and LiPo battery formats and features two-stage low-voltage detection to help protect packs.
• Titan 12T 550 motor — a modified brushed 550 motor with an internal cooling fan and an oversized armature for improved torque and power handling.
• Virtually maintenance-free operation designed for long running between tune-ups.
• TQ 2.4 GHz 2-channel radio system — ergonomic transmitter with internal antenna for reliable control, plus the Traxxas 6519 3-channel micro receiver with fail-safe protection.
• Patented O-ring sealed watertight receiver box keeps the micro receiver dry in wet conditions.
• Tough fiber-composite monocoque chassis — wide, low-profile layout that increases stability and secures all electronics directly to the chassis.
• Easy-access battery compartment — fits 6-cell flat packs, 7-cell hump packs, and short-form 2-cell LiPo batteries for flexible power choices.
• Transmission and driveline — brushless-ready Magnum 272 metal-gear transmission with a Torque-Control slipper clutch, planetary steel-gear differential and sealed gearbox protected by a beefed-up motor guard.
• External gear cover provides easy access to the slipper clutch for quick adjustments or maintenance.
• Heavy-duty telescoping U-joint driveshafts and yokes for reliable power transfer under load.
• Steering — high-torque waterproof Traxxas 2056 steering servo paired with a performance bellcrank system that minimizes bump steer.
• Suspension — solid camber links that remove the need for routine camber adjustment and captured rod ends that stay in place during hard use.
• Springs and shocks — fully adjustable oil-filled Ultra Shocks with X-ring technology and white powder-coated springs for consistent damping and ride height control.
• Wheels and tires — pre-glued Alias step-pin rear tires and ribbed front tires mounted on 2.8" mirror-chrome All-Star wheels, fitted with performance foam inserts for predictable grip.
• Backed by Traxxas support — wide parts availability and service support to keep your Rustler running season after season.
• Requires battery and charger — battery pack and charger are not included and must be purchased separately.
