More info
Traxxas Rustler XL-5 is a ready-to-run 1/10 stadium truck that arrives assembled and ready for action. It pairs a pre-painted ProGraphix body and LED lighting with waterproof electronics and a powerful Titan 12T 550 motor, making it a solid choice for beginners and experienced drivers who want durable, drive-right-out-of-the-box performance.
Key Features
- ProGraphix painted body — pre-painted shell with applied decals for an aggressive, aerodynamic look and a rear wing for downforce.
- Waterproof XL-5 electronic speed control — rugged, sealed design that handles wet and muddy running.
- Multiple drive modes on the XL-5 — Sport (forward/brake/reverse), Race (forward/brake), and patented Training Mode that limits steering power to 50% forward/brake and 50% reverse for easier learning.
- Traxxas EZ-Set one-button setup — quick binding and easy programming from the transmitter.
- LiPo and NiMH compatibility with two-stage low-voltage detection built into the speed control.
- Titan 12T 550 motor — 550-sized modified motor with internal cooling fan and an oversized armature for better torque and power handling, designed for low maintenance.
- TQ 2.4 GHz 2-channel radio system — ergonomic transmitter with internal antenna plus a Traxxas 6519 3-channel micro receiver with fail-safe protection.
- Sealed, watertight receiver box keeps the micro receiver dry in wet conditions.
- Front and rear LED lighting — factory-installed LEDs for night runs and improved on-track visibility.
- Included Traxxas battery — 3000 mAh Traxxas 7-cell NiMH battery with iD for simple charging and power.
- Included fast charger — 4-amp 12 V DC peak-detecting fast charger for quicker turnarounds between runs.
- Tough fiber-composite monocoque chassis — wide, low-profile layout for improved stability and a secure base for all electronics.
- Easy access battery compartment — accepts 6- and 7-cell NiMH flat and hump packs and 2-cell LiPo packs for flexible power options.
- Magnum 272 metal-gear transmission — brushless-ready gearbox with a Torque-Control slipper clutch for tunable traction and protection.
- Planetary gear differential with a steel ring gear for reliable power transfer.
- Sealed gearbox and beefed-up motor guard protect the drivetrain from dirt and impacts; external gear cover provides easy slipper access.
- Heavy-duty telescoping U-joint driveshafts and yokes for long life under abusive driving.
- Steering — high-torque waterproof Traxxas 2056 servo paired with a bellcrank system that reduces bump steer.
- Suspension — solid camber links that remove the need for frequent adjustments and captured rod ends that stay put under load.
- Springs and shocks — fully adjustable, oil-filled Ultra Shocks with X-ring seals and white powder-coated springs for consistent response.
- Wheels and tires — pre-glued Alias step-pin rear tires and ribbed front tires mounted on 2.8" black & chrome 6-spoke wheels with performance foam inserts.
- Backed by Traxxas support and wide parts availability for easy repairs and upgrades.
