Traxxas Rustler VXL Truck RTR Brushless (Orange)

Traxxas Rustler VXL Truck is a ready-to-run 1/10 stadium truck that pairs Velineon brushless power with a waterproof speed control, TQi radio and Traxxas Stability Management for straight-line grip and controlled slides. It’s set up from the factory with a pre-painted ProGraphix body and performance-ready drivetrain so you can get on track quickly.

Key Features

• Pre-painted ProGraphix body with applied decals for a factory finish and an aggressive, aerodynamic profile plus a rear wing for added downforce.
• Waterproof electronic speed control with easy one-button Traxxas EZ-Set setup and a large heat sink for thermal management.
• Sport and Race driving modes that give you Forward/Brake/Reverse or Forward/Brake only settings to match your driving style.
• Training Mode (patented) limits throttle and reverse to 50% for learning and gradual progression.
• Built-in two-stage low-voltage detection to protect LiPo packs during hard runs.
• NiMH and LiPo compatibility covering common pack choices for flexible battery setups.
• Velineon 3500 brushless motor built with high-temperature sintered Neodymium magnets, high-speed ball bearings and a precision-balanced rotor for efficient power delivery and long life.
• Traxxas Stability Management (TSM) that improves acceleration and braking on low-traction surfaces and keeps the steering composed during throttle-on powerslides without dulling the throttle.
• Adjustable TSM level — set from off to 100% assistance right from the transmitter to match conditions and skill level.
• TQi 2.4 GHz high-output radio with a 2-channel transmitter and 5-channel micro receiver (6533) offering fail-safe and integrated telemetry ports.
• Traxxas Link compatible — the system stores settings for up to 30 Link-enabled models and accepts the optional wireless Traxxas Link module for full app control (sold separately).
• Programmable radio features including a multifunction knob, adjustable dual-rate steering/throttle, exponential tuning and end point adjustment.
• Patented waterproof receiver box keeps electronics protected in wet or muddy conditions.
• Tough fiber-composite monocoque chassis with a wide, low-profile layout for increased stability and secure mounting for all electronics.
• Magnum 272 metal-gear transmission with Torque-Control slipper clutch and a planetary steel-gear differential for predictable power transfer.
• Sealed gearbox and beefed-up motor guard that shield the transmission and provide easy clutch access via an external gear cover.
• Heavy-duty telescoping U-joint driveshafts and yokes for reliable drivetrain duty under hard acceleration.
• Digital high-torque waterproof 2075 steering servo paired with a high-performance bellcrank system to reduce bump steer.
• Adjustable steel turnbuckles and captured rod ends that resist popping off under load.
• Fully adjustable oil-filled Ultra Shocks with X-ring technology for consistent damping and white powder-coated springs for a clean look.
• 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 traction and handling.
• Rubber-sealed ball bearings for smooth-running wheels and drivetrain components.
• Precision hex hardware used throughout for secure assembly and serviceability.
• Backed by Traxxas support and wide parts availability to keep the truck running season after season.
• Requires battery and charger (sold separately).
