Rustler 4X4 VXL - The Stadium Truck Redefined
Extreme 4X4 stadium truck speed and excitement now equipped with the Extreme Heavy Duty upgrade kit. Rustler 4X4 VXL is a hard-charging wheelie machine that captures the speed and style of a stadium truck and injects it with a massive dose of strength and power. Beneath Rustler’s clipless body, the extreme Velineon brushless power system feeds power through the factory-installed Extreme Heavy Duty Upgrade Kit to become the new standard for strength and durability.
EXTREME HEAVY DUTY UPGRADE KIT
Rustler 4X4 VXL’s factory-installed Extreme Heavy Duty Upgrade Kit replaces key drivetrain and suspension components with beefed-up parts made for ultimate strength and durability. From the HD suspension arms to the steel wheel hubs, this is the strongest driveline ever offered in a Rustler.
SELF-RIGHTING
Rustler 4X4 VXL uses Traxxas’ patented self-righting feature to keep the fun going, even when you get carried away with the wheelies or land that big trick upside down. Simply press a button on the TQi transmitter and, in most circumstances*, Rustler 4X4 VXL will be back on its wheels in just seconds and ready for more action! *3s power recommended for optimal performance
CLIPLESS BODY MOUNTING
Rustler 4X4 VXL uses a clipless body latching system for secure mounting and fast, one-handed removal and installation. The sleek, aerodynamic body features a rugged internal structure and external rollover protection for long life and Traxxas-Tough durability.
Features
Modular Chassis
Rustler 4X4' s modular chassis features front and rear bulkheads that remove easily with just a few screws. In less than a minute using a power screwdriver, you’ll have full access for easy service and adjustment.
Velineon 3500 Motor
A sensorless Velineon 3500 kV motor delivers extreme performance with nearly zero maintenance. Ultra high-temperature Neodymium magnets, high-speed bearings, and a precision, 4-pole balanced rotor deliver smooth running and long life.
VXL-3s
The waterproof Velineon VXL-3s speed control is packed with technology to deliver maximum power. Large heat sink, integrated on/off switch, and three programmable drive profiles top the feature list. Two-stage low voltage detection allows full LiPo compatibility, including powerful 11.1-volt 3s packs!
Waterproof Receiver Box
Rustler's innovative waterproof receiver box allows easy access to the receiver. The antenna and servo wires route neatly through a patented watertight seal to protect the receiver from water. No matter what the weather, Rustler 4X4 is ready for action!
5-Channel Receiver with Failsafe
The TQi 2.4 GHz radio system stores up to thirty models in memory, allowing you to use one transmitter for your entire RC garage. Integrated telemetry ports in the receiver transmit real-time data to the TQi transmitter when using the Traxxas Link App and telemetry sensors (sold separately). In the event of signal loss, the receiver automatically returns the throttle to neutral and holds the last steering position.
Talon EXT 2.8" Tires and Black Chrome Wheels
Rustler's large 2.8" black chrome wheels provide terrain-conquering ground clearance and a commanding presence. Talon EXT tires have a square-shouldered, aggressive tread design to dig into gravel, dirt, and grass for incredible 4X4 traction and huge roost.
Ultra Shock
Oil-filled Ultra Shocks utilize dual X-ring technology for a perfect seal and silky-smooth performance. The large oil capacity and rugged design soaks up big jumps and off-road abuse for smooth driving performance. They are easy to tune with a wide range of available oils, springs, and pistons.
Digital High-Torque Waterproof Steering Servo
Rustler 4X4 VXL's extreme speed and quick reflexes require a steering servo that's both strong and fast. The included digital high-speed, high-torque servo features ball bearings for precise control and quick reflexes.
Heavy-Duty Suspension Arms
Heavy-duty suspension arms are stronger than ever before. Molded from a tough new composite material, the arms stand up to even the most punishing drivers and resist breakage for non-stop fun behind the wheel.
Extruded Aluminum Driveshaft
A one-piece extruded aluminum driveshaft is both strong and lightweight. Internal splines fit directly onto the input shafts of the front and rear drive assemblies. Altogether, this shaft runs straight and true for ultra-smooth driveline operation.
Maxx-Duty Driveshafts
Rustler 4X4’s Maxx-duty driveshafts with beefed-up U-joints are built to handle brushless power without breaking a sweat. Large 6 mm axles key into the included steel wheel hexes for unmatched strength and durability.
Heavy-Duty 4 mm Turnbuckles
Rustler 4X4 uses the same heavy-duty steel 4 mm turnbuckles developed for the Slash 4X4. Broad flat sections make toe and camber adjustments easy with the included wrench. The fully captured rod ends take a beating and won't pop apart during rigorous off-road pounding.
Functional Rear Wing
The functional rear wing reduces drag while still providing valuable downforce for high speed stability. The wing mounts directly to the internal body reinforcements for lasting durability.
