Traxxas Rustler VXL Truck RTR Brushless 2WD (OrngX)

The Traxxas Rustler VXL Truck is a ready-to-run 1/10-scale stadium truck built for high-speed runs and controlled bashing. It pairs a Velineon 3500 brushless motor and VXL-3s speed control with the TQi radio and Traxxas Stability Management so you get powerful acceleration without losing composure on low-traction surfaces. This truck is rated Skill Level 2 and requires a battery and charger (sold separately).

Key Features

• ProGraphix painted body — pre-painted shell with applied decals and an aggressive, aerodynamic shape plus a rear wing for downforce and style.
• VXL-3s waterproof electronic speed control — supports Sport and Race modes and includes a large heat sink for cooler operation.
• Sport, Race and Training modes — Sport: forward/brake/reverse; Race: forward/brake; Training: patented 50% forward/brake and 50% reverse for learner control.
• Traxxas EZ-Set one-button setup — quick, easy ESC programming from the truck or at the track.
• Built-in low-voltage detection — two-stage protection for LiPo packs to help protect your battery during use.
• Compatible battery types — accepts NiMH packs (4–9 cells, 4.8–10.8 volts) and LiPo packs (2–3 cells, 7.4–11.1 volts).
• Velineon 3500 brushless motor — sensorless design with ultra high-temperature sintered Neodymium magnets, precision-balanced rotor and efficient high-speed ball bearings for reliable top-end performance.
• 3500 kV output — delivers the RPM potential for high-speed runs when paired with the right battery and gearing.
• Traxxas Stability Management (TSM) — improves straight-line acceleration and braking on slick surfaces, maintains steering composure during throttle-on slides and does not reduce available throttle.
• TSM tuning from the transmitter — assistance adjusts from off up to 100% directly from the radio for on-the-fly traction control.
• 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 — receiver supports the optional Traxxas Link wireless module (6511) to enable telemetry and saved profiles for up to 30 models.
• Programmable controls — multi-function knob plus adjustable steering/throttle percentage (dual rates), sensitivity (exponential) and end points for precise tuning.
• Patented receiver protection — a patented receiver box designed to keep the radio electronics protected from the elements.
• Tough fiber-composite monocoque chassis — wide, low-profile layout for increased stability with electronics securely fastened to the chassis.
• Magnum 272 metal-gear transmission — durable gearbox with a torque-control slipper clutch to protect driveline components.
• Planetary steel-gear differential — steel ring gear for dependable power transfer.
• Enclosed gearbox and motor guard — gearbox is protected by a beefed-up motor guard and external gear cover for easy clutch access.
• Heavy-duty telescoping U-joint driveshafts and yokes — strong driveline components built to handle high torque and rough use.
• Digital 2075 steering servo — high-torque, waterproof Traxxas 2075 servo paired with a high-performance bellcrank system to minimize bump steer.
• Tunable steering links — steel turnbuckles let you fine-tune toe and camber, while captured rod ends resist popping off during hard impacts.
• Ultra Shocks with X-ring technology — fully adjustable oil-filled shocks for controlled damping, fitted with white powder-coated springs.
• Wheels and tires — pre-glued Alias step-pin rear tires and ribbed front tires mounted on 2.8" black-chrome All-Star wheels with performance foam inserts for consistent handling.
• Ball bearings and hardware — rubber-shielded ball bearings throughout and precision hex hardware for reliable assembly and service life.
• Traxxas support — backed by wide parts availability and a strong support network for maintenance and upgrades.
• Requires battery and charger — battery and charger are sold separately; the truck does not include them.
