Traxxas Rustler 2WD XL-5 RTR USB-C (Green)

Traxxas Rustler 2WD XL-5 is a ready-to-run 1/10 stadium truck built for fast, reliable fun. It arrives pre-painted with applied decals, includes a 3000 mAh 7-cell NiMH battery with iD and a 4-amp USB-C fast charger, and features waterproof electronics so you can run in wet conditions. The Rustler balances speed (35+ mph with the included 7-cell pack) with rugged, heavy-duty components for everyday bashing or casual racing.

Key Features

• Reinforced body panels and mounting points to reduce pull-through damage during heavy landings.
• Secure fit without body posts or clips for a smooth appearance and quick removal when you need access.
• Waterproof XL-5 electronic speed control (ESC) — Fully sealed design lets you drive through mud and puddles.
• Three drive profiles on the XL-5: Sport (forward/brake/reverse), Race (forward/brake), and patented Training Mode (50% forward/brake/50% reverse) to match skill level.
• EZ-Set one-button setup makes programming the ESC and modes fast and simple.
• Compatible with NiMH and LiPo packs and includes two-stage low-voltage detection for battery protection.

• Easy-access battery compartment accepts 6- and 7-cell NiMH flat or hump packs, plus 2-cell LiPo packs for flexibility.
