Hopping up the TraxxasRustler XL-5
Take the Rustler to the next level with genuine Traxxas Accessories
for added performance and custom look. |
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 R/C
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.
Sealed Electronics Extend Your Driving Fun
Traxxas
shocked enthusiasts with the release of our exclusive watertight,
sealed electronics in the E-Maxx that provided the freedom to drive
where you want to drive through water, mud, snow, and other wet-running
conditions that wouldn't have been possible before. Now the Traxxas Rustler is
Ready-To-Race with this waterproof technology. The new XL-5 electronic speed
control and the mini receiver are sealed against the elements giving you the
freedom go places you might not have thought possible. It opens up a whole new
world of adventure and fun. Wet muddy tracks are no problem for the Rustler.
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 waterproof XL-5 Electronic Speed Control offers
high current handling, EZ-Set one-button setup, and smooth high-frequency
control. Three drive profiles, low voltage detection, 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.
The
quest for ultimate speed began with the battery connector. As today's batteries
store more and more energy inside their cells, traditional battery connectors
became a roadblock, unable to deliver all the energy the battery is capable of
outputting. The new Traxxas High-Current Connector opens the door for
unrestricted current flow.
Precision
2.4GHz Control Radio System
With the TQ 2.4GHz radio system, you just switch on a drive. There are no
channels or frequencies to manage, so the focus is on having fun. The TQ’s
ergonomic design is comfortable for all-day driving, and its sleek lines are
enhanced by an internal antenna that is impervious to damage.
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 6-colorProGraphix 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 step-pins at the rear and
sharp-edged Alias ribbed tires up front hug the corners for a solid, planted
feel.
Traxxas backs the Rustler and all of their products with top-notch support
that is second to none. A staff of skilled representatives is on-hand to answer
your questions via phone, website, or email. Unmatched parts support allows
Rustler to be serviced with parts and support from thousands of hobby dealers
worldwide. Traxxas goes the extra mile to ensure that your R/C experience is
easy and fun. Follow the details link above to

bodies, and transmission housing are now molded in gray for a fresh look.
Revo-spec
Torque-Control Slipper Clutch
Revo technology is utilized to
manage the increased power from the Titan 12T motor. The Torque-Control slipper
clutch uses special semi-metallic friction material and finned aluminum alloy
pressure plates to dissipate heat and provide consistent traction control. The
semi-metallic friction material remains stable across a wide temperature range
to provide smooth, linear engagement you can count on, run after run. Spur gears
can be removed and replaced without altering the slipper adjustment.
Alias
Tires and All-Star Wheels
The Rustler comes with
the impressive 2.8" All-Star mirror-chrome wheels. Alias rear tires with a
step-pin design, front Alias ribbed tires for superior control, and foam inserts
help keep the truck firmly planted on extreme off-road terrain.
The All-Star
wheels feature a lightweight horizontal bead that holds the tire to the rim even
under extreme rpm. Performance-designed foam inserts are standard and all tires
come pre-glued from the factory to get you rolling right out of the box.
Powder
Coated White Springs
White springs feature a race-tuned spring
rate for more responsive handling and the long-lasting, white powder coated
finish sets Rustler apart from the pack.
Included
Optional Pinion Gear
The Rustler reaches its blistering 35+mph
top speed on-road using the optional 28-tooth pinion gear (included) and a
7-cell 8.4V battery pack (sold separately). Out of the box, the installed
23-tooth pinion gear is just right for all-around, on or off-road action.
ProGraphix Bodies
The Rustler's fully trimmed and painted ProGraphix body is available in
Red, Blue, Black, and White/Gunmetal. Decals are also applied to save you time
and get you driving just minutes out of the box. Traxxas' ProGraphix bodies are
the hottest looking bodies around and are only available on Traxxas
Ready-to-Race models.
Oil-Filled Ultra Shocks
Rustler's
oil-filled Ultra Shocks utilize X-ring technology for a perfect seal and
super-smooth performance. They are fully tunable with a wide range of oils,
springs, and pistons. Features include pressure bladders for air/oil separation
and spring clips to precisely change the ride height and spring pre-load. They
can be renewed in minutes with our inexpensive rebuild kits.
Motor Mount with Cooling Channels
The sealed gearbox protects the
transmission components from dirt and rocks. The molded motor plate includes
finned cooling channels where the motor mounts to the motor plate. The cooling
channels work in conjunction with the internal Titan 12T motor fan to pull air
through the motor for superior cooling.
Brushless
Ready Magnum 272 Transmission
The Rustler's Magnum 272 transmission is
assembled with new all metal gear internals riding on ultra-smooth sealed ball
bearings. Combined with the smooth 48-pitch gears, power is delivered quietly to
the durable telescoping U-joint driveshafts. The sealed gearbox protects the
