Traxxas Rustler VXL RTR Brushless (Yellow)

Traxxas Rustler VXL is a ready-to-run 1/10 stadium truck that puts brushless speed and track-capable handling into a durable package. It comes with a painted ProGraphix body, TQi radio system and waterproof electronics so you can spend more time driving; battery and charger are required and sold separately.

Key Features

• ProGraphix painted body — Pre-painted shell with applied decals for a race-ready look.
• Aerodynamic silhouette with rear wing — Aggressive body shape improves stability at speed.
• VXL-3s waterproof electronic speed control — Supports Sport Mode (Forward / Brake / Reverse) and Race Mode (Forward / Brake) for flexible driving styles.
• EZ-Set one-button setup — Quick, simple ESC programming from the transmitter.
• Large heat sink — Keeps the ESC cooler during hard runs and long sessions.
• Built-in two-stage low-voltage detection — Protects LiPo packs by warning and limiting performance when cell voltage is low.
• Training Mode (patented) — Limits throttle to 50% forward and 50% reverse for learning and tandem driving.
• Battery compatibility — Accepts NiMH packs (4–9 cells) and LiPo packs (2–3 cells) to match how you like to run.
• Velineon 3500 brushless motor — Sensorless brushless design with ultra high-temperature sintered Neodymium magnets for strong power delivery.
• Low-maintenance motor construction — Efficient ball bearings and a precision-balanced rotor reduce upkeep and vibration.
• Blue-anodized motor finish — Durable coating with a performance look.
• Traxxas Stability Management (TSM) — Improves traction on low-grip surfaces, helps maintain steering during throttle-on slides, and can be set from off to 100% via the transmitter.
• TQi 2.4 GHz high-output radio system — Two-channel transmitter paired with the 6533 five-channel micro receiver for reliable control and fail-safe protection.
• Telemetry-ready receiver — Receiver includes integrated telemetry ports and can store settings for up to 30 Traxxas Link-enabled models when used with the optional wireless module.
• Programmable controls — Multi-function knob, adjustable steering/throttle percentage (dual rates), sensitivity (exponential) and end points let you fine-tune handling.
• Patented sealed receiver box — Encloses the receiver and electronics for protection in wet or muddy conditions.
• Tough fiber-composite monocoque chassis — Wide, low-profile platform that keeps electronics secure and improves overall stability.
• Magnum 272 metal-gear transmission — Durable gearset with a Torque-Control slipper clutch for consistent power delivery.
• Planetary steel gear differential — Robust internal gearing with a steel ring gear for long life.
• Sealed gearbox and motor guard — Protects the transmission and motor from debris and impacts; external gear cover provides easy access to the slipper clutch.
• Heavy-duty telescoping U-joint driveshafts and yokes — Built to handle high RPMs and rough landings.
• Digital 2075 steering servo — High-torque, waterproof servo for precise steering inputs.
• High-performance bellcrank steering — Reduces bump steer for predictable control over rough terrain.
• Adjustable steel turnbuckles — Let you dial in toe and camber settings.
• Captured rod ends — Retain linkages under heavy loads so they won’t pop off.
• Ultra Shocks with X-ring technology — Oil-filled shocks that are tuneable and sealed for consistent damping.
• White powder-coated springs — Durable finish that resists corrosion and keeps spring rates consistent.
• Alias step-pin rear tires and ribbed front tires — Pre-glued rubber mounted on 2.8" Black-chrome All-Star wheels with performance foam inserts for traction and stability.
• Rubber-sealed ball bearings — Smooth, long-lasting rotation across the drivetrain.
• Precision hex hardware — Metric-style fasteners for reliable assembly and service.
• Extensive Traxxas support and parts availability — Service network and replacement parts keep this truck running season after season.
• Requires battery and charger — Battery and charger are sold separately so you can choose pack type and runtime.
