Traxxas Rustler XL-5 RTR LED (Orange)

The Traxxas Rustler XL-5 brings together a low, wide stance, a short wheelbase, and a lightweight chassis for quick steering and stable high-speed driving. It arrives as a Ready-To-Race package with factory-installed front and rear LED lights, a pre-painted ProGraphix body, and the orange finish already applied.

This truck comes set up for real run time, not extra bench work. You get the battery, charger, radio system, waterproof electronics, and a brushless-ready drivetrain, plus Traxxas’ Training Mode for a gentler first drive if you want it.
