  • Titan® 12-Turn 550 Modified Motor
  • New XL-5 Electronic Speed Control
  • Number-1 selling 1/10 Stadium Racer
  • 35+mph* Top Speed!

The best-selling Traxxas Rustler is a proven favorite with a formula for rugged fun that nothing else can touch. The new Rustler blows the doors off the competition with more power, smoother control, better grip, and performance that makes it the fastest Ready-To-Race® electric truck available. The Rustler rips off-road with its powerful new Titan® 12-Turn modified 550 motor, new XL-5 Electronic Speed Control, and Revo®-spec Torque-Control™ slipper clutch. It’s made for power-sliding, full-throttle, off-road action and aggressive driving fun. With a top speed of 35+mph*, Rustler simply leaves everything else back on the work bench.

Only Traxxas could put this kind of performance, innovation, and overall value into a Ready-To-Race package that delivers the satisfaction you expect from a high-performance electric stadium truck. Speed, durability, and stunning looks are what make the Traxxas Rustler a cut above the rest. Traxxas’ forward thinking and “no-nonsense” approach brings you the most performance for your RC investment. Whether you’re at the park or on the track, the Rustler delivers sophisticated performance and handling that makes the race track anywhere you want to drive.

The Rustler is 100% Ready-To-Race® right out of the box, and is fully loaded with innovative performance features such as the advanced Revo-spec Torque-Control™ slipper clutch. The patent-pending design delivers smooth operation, precise adjustment, and consistent traction control. The Titan 12T 550 modified motor is designed for incredible mod-motor power output with virtually maintenance-free operation, and long-lasting performance. The Titan 12T 550 motor’s integrated cooling fan pulls cool air through the motor to keep temperatures down. Airflow is routed through vent tunnels molded in the motor plate. A cooler running motor equates to faster speeds, longer runtime, and extended motor life.

What would the best-selling stadium truck be without a class-leading high-performance electronic speed control? The XL-5 Electronic Speed Control offers high current handling, EZ-Set™ one-button setup, and smooth high-frequency control. Three drive profiles, thermal shutdown protection, gold-plated connectors, and incredibly low resistance are all features you might expect to only be available on an expensive replacement ESC. The XL-5 is the first electronic speed control that has the exclusive Traxxas Training Mode™ that limits full-throttle power to 50%. This allows young or new drivers to safely develop their control skills before unlocking full power to the mighty Titan 12T motor. Rustler is perfect for drivers of any age and experience.

Traxxas didn’t stop there. Rustler’s durable, fiber-composite chassis is designed for exceptional rigidity, and offers an inline battery position for a low polar moment of inertia. That’s engineering speak that translates into nimble handling and lightening-fast response. The low-profile “lay-down” steering servo mounting system further enhances the Rustler’s already low CG design. Rustler delivers superior stability and cornering thanks to its centered kingpin and live axle front suspension. Transmitting the power to the wheels is an efficient 3-gear variable-ratio transmission, topped off with sealed ball bearings and smooth-running telescoping driveshafts. In addition to those advanced features, the factory-installed planetary differential is Traxxas-tough with hardened steel gears that never need adjusting! Perfect for long-lasting, all-day fun. Just take the Rustler out of the box, charge up a battery, and drive!

Rustler sports a stunning new 6-color ProGraphix™ body and decal set. At the corners you’ll find a set of bold 2.8" mirror-chrome All-Star™ wheels wrapped with performance-engineered tires, pre-glued, of course. The precision-engineered tread patterns and rubber compounds were designed to meet the performance requirements of the 65+mph Traxxas Jato (Nitro) so they are sure to provide Rustler with excellent traction.  Alias™ dual pins at the rear and sharp-edged ribbed tires up front hug the corners for a solid, planted feel

Hopping up the Traxxas® Rustler® XL-5 is easy with these available Traxxas upgraded pieces!

Traxxas Rustler XL-5 June 13, 2009
Reviewer: Ross from Logan, Queensland Australia  
As a first time user I am impressed with the quality and speed of the Rustler. It is a solid vehicle with tons of grunt and good looks. My 6 yr old and I have lots of fun racing each other and we have both been grateful for the lerning mode. R/c Planet delivered to Australia in 9 days. Thanks for the great service.

Excellent August 2, 2008
Reviewer: Anonymous person from Shepparton, Victoria Australia  
i bought a rustler about 3 weeks ago and out of the box it looked awsomne.
i could not wait to get it going.

It goes about 40 km/h with the small gear on. i think it's great value and highly recommend it for not just begginers, but it's fun for everyone. i am having great fun. i recomend a high mA/h battery for longer run time.

more power February 8, 2008
Reviewer: Anonymous person from Charlotte Hall, MD United States  
I purchased one about 2 weeks ago. This truck is alot of fun but I wish it was faster. If I could go back I would DEF. recommend getting the VXL instead. As much money as I am putting into this truck to make it faster, I could have almost bought a VXL by now. I have already upgraded to a novak brushless motor for it.
