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

The Traxxas Rustler 2WD XL-5 puts stadium-truck speed and dependable construction into an out-of-the-box ready package. It’s set up for beginners and hobbyists who want immediate performance: waterproof electronics, a pre-painted clipless body, and a battery plus charger are included so you can get on the track or the backyard straightaway.

Key Features

• Clipless stadium truck body — Pre-painted with applied decals for a finished look, an aggressive aerodynamic shape with rear wing, and reinforced areas to reduce pull-through damage.
• Clipless design holds tight during hard driving and removes quickly for fast service without body posts or clips, giving a smooth, clean appearance.
• High-performance waterproof XL-5 electronic speed control — Waterproof construction protects the electronics so you can run in wet conditions.
• Three selectable drive profiles: Sport (forward / brake / reverse), Race (forward / brake), and the patented Training Mode (50% forward / brake / 50% reverse) to tune throttle response for new drivers.
• One-button Traxxas EZ-Set setup and compatibility with both NiMH and LiPo batteries via two-stage low-voltage detection for battery safety.
• Titan 550 12T brushed motor — Built-in cooling fan and an oversized armature deliver strong torque and better power handling while keeping maintenance to a minimum.
• Extreme heavy-duty parts installed — Strengthened C-hubs, axle carriers, steering blocks, and HD suspension arms for impact resistance during bashing and racing.
• TQ 2.4 GHz 2-channel radio system — Comfortable ergonomic transmitter with internal antenna, plus the Traxxas 6519 micro receiver with fail-safe protection.
• Sealed watertight receiver box keeps the electronics dry and protected in messy conditions.
• Includes battery and charger — Comes with a 3000 mAh Traxxas 7-cell NiMH battery (with iD) and a 4-amp fast USB-C charger for quick turnaround between runs.
• Easy-access battery compartment — Accepts NiMH 6- and 7-cell flat and hump packs as well as 2-cell LiPo packs for flexible battery choices.
• Transmission and driveline — Brushless-ready Magnum 272 metal-gear transmission, Torque-Control slipper clutch, and a planetary steel-gear differential for reliable power delivery.
• Sealed gearbox and beefed-up motor guard protect the driveline, while an external gear cover gives easy access to the clutch.
• Heavy-duty telescoping U-joint driveshafts and yokes increase drivetrain longevity under hard use.
• Tough fiber-composite monocoque chassis — Wide, low-profile layout for added stability at speed and in corners.
• Steering — High-torque waterproof Traxxas 2056 servo with a spring-loaded servo saver to limit damage from impacts.
• Suspension — Solid camber links that eliminate the need for frequent adjustment and captured rod ends that won’t pop off.
• Springs and shocks — Fully adjustable oil-filled Ultra Shocks with X-ring seals and white powder-coated springs for consistent damping.
• Wheels and tires — Pre-glued Alias step-pin rear tires and ribbed front tires mounted on 2.8" black six-spoke wheels with chrome beadlock trim, plus performance foam inserts.
• Precision hex hardware used throughout for reliable, repeatable assembly and service.
