Traxxas Rustler Stadium Truck RTR XL-5 2WD (Blue)

The Traxxas Rustler Stadium Truck is a ready-to-run 1/10 2WD stadium truck built to be driven straight out of the box. It pairs a waterproof XL-5 speed control and a Titan 12T 550 motor for dependable power, while the ProGraphix painted body and rear wing give the Rustler a race-ready look and aerodynamic balance.

Key Features

• ProGraphix painted body — pre-painted shell with applied decals and an aggressive, aerodynamic shape plus a molded rear wing for improved downforce.
• High-performance waterproof XL-5 electronic speed control — sealed design for wet driving with Sport (forward/brake/reverse), Race (forward/brake) and Training Mode (50% forward/brake / 50% reverse) options.
• Traxxas EZ-Set one-button setup on the XL-5 for fast configuration and simple programming.
• Compatible with both LiPo and NiMH batteries and includes two-stage low-voltage detection to protect packs.
• Titan 12T 550 motor — modified 550 with internal cooling fan and an oversized armature for increased torque and better power handling.
• Designed for virtually maintenance-free operation so you spend more time driving and less time tuning.
• TQ 2.4 GHz 2-channel radio system — ergonomic transmitter with internal antenna for comfortable control and consistent range.
• Includes Traxxas 6519 3-channel micro receiver with fail-safe and an O-ring sealed, watertight receiver box to keep the electronics dry.
• Tough fiber-composite monocoque chassis — wide, low-profile layout that improves stability and keeps all electronics securely fastened.
• Easy-access battery compartment — fits 6-cell flat packs, 7-cell hump packs and short form-factor 2-cell LiPo batteries for flexible power options.
• Transmission and driveline — brushless-ready Magnum 272 metal-gear transmission with Torque-Control slipper clutch and a planetary differential that uses a steel ring gear.
• Sealed gearbox and beefed-up motor guard protect the transmission; external gear cover provides easy access to the slipper clutch.
• Heavy-duty telescoping U-joint driveshafts and yokes for reliable power transfer under load.
• Steering — high-torque waterproof Traxxas 2056 steering servo and a bellcrank system tuned to minimize bump steer.
• Suspension — solid camber links that remove the need for constant adjustment and captured rod ends that resist popping off.
• Springs and shocks — fully adjustable oil-filled Ultra Shocks with X-ring seals and white powder-coated springs for controlled damping and long life.
• Wheels and tires — pre-glued Alias step-pin rear tires and ribbed front tires with performance foam inserts mounted on 2.8" mirror-chrome All-Star wheels.
• Backed by comprehensive Traxxas support and wide parts availability for repairs and upgrades.
• Requires battery and charger — sold separately so you can choose the pack and charger that match your driving style.
