Technical Performance

The Traxxas Rustler 4X4 VXL represents a pinnacle of engineering in the 1/10 scale stadium truck category, delivering breathtaking top speeds of 65+ mph with 3-cell LiPo and 20/54 gearing. The Velineon 3500 KV brushless motor combines with the VXL-3s electronic speed control to provide instant throttle response and exceptional efficiency, whilst the brushless technology means less maintenance and longer runtimes compared to traditional brushed motor systems. The waterproof design ensures reliable operation in challenging conditions, with the waterproof 2075 servo providing responsive, accurate steering input regardless of weather. Measuring 47.7 cm in length, 32.9 cm in width and standing just 16.1 cm tall with a 29.5 cm wheelbase, the Rustler offers nimble manoeuvrability combined with exceptional stability at speed. The 2.32 kg weight and low 2.7 cm ground clearance support the truck's wheelie-happy nature and ability to execute tricks whilst maintaining composure in everyday driving. The composite tub chassis provides genuine durability, whilst the shaft-driven 4WD system with sealed differentials ensures consistent traction across stadium terrain, dirt, grass and asphalt. Battery compatibility includes both NiMH and LiPo options, though the Velineon 3500 KV motor and VXL-3s ESC are specifically optimised for 3-cell LiPo battery performance, delivering peak power and responsiveness with this configuration. The single-speed transmission with 13.97:1 drive ratio is optimised for balanced acceleration and top-end speed, whilst optional gearing allows fine-tuning of performance characteristics to suit your specific driving style and terrain.
