Hard-Charging
50+mph Performance
The Nitro
Rustler is the first name in high performance 2WD nitro stadium trucks. Powered
by the proven performance of the TRX 2.5 Racing Engine, Nitro Rustler totally
out-muscles the competition with top speeds beyond 50 mph! The TRX 2.5 also
pumps out the torque for brutal, wheel-standing launches and absolutely ruthless
acceleration. The all-new body design cheats the wind with its smooth curves and
low-slung stance, while the outrageous new graphics dominate with style. The
separate wing securely bolts to the new body with precise aluminum hex hardware.
Chrome 2.8 Twin Spoke rims are wrapped with pre-glued Alias step-pin tires in
the rear and Alias ribbed tires up front. The high-tech rubber compound ensures
great grip on a variety of surfaces. New grey-molded composite parts are
thoughtfully integrated to enhance the look of the chassis. Fast, light, and
loaded with power, Nitro Rustler's power-sliding, dirt roosting attitude will
have you reaching for the throttle again and again.
The
Most Horsepower
"Best Nitro Engine" – RC Car Action Magazine Readers' Choice Award.
Nitro Rustler's TRX 2.5 Racing Engine is nothing short of amazing. It is the
most advanced engine in its class and comes loaded with all the hottest
performance hardware. The two-needle composite slide carburetor, trick porting,
and free-flowing rear exhaust deliver class-leading horsepower and high-revving
speeds over 50mph. Plus only Traxxas has the true push-button starting
convenience and safety of the EZ-Start Electric
Starting System. Traxxas makes nitro easy so that anyone can experience the
hard-charging action and intense driving excitement Nitro Rustler delivers.
Hammer the throttle anywhere in the power band and Nitro Rustler responds with
searing acceleration and the sound of pure, high-revving nitro power.
Precision 2.4GHz Control Radio System
With the TQ 2.4GHz radio system, you just switch on and 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. To customize the
Nitro Rustler’s controls, the transmitter’s factory servo directions can be
easily reversed through the simple programming system.
Built Traxxas Tough
Nitro
Rustler is not only built to perform with its adjustable slipper clutch, disc
brake, and race-inspired suspension geometry, it's also built Traxxas Tough for
all-day driving fun. Nitro Rustler's robust design keeps annoying breakage to a
minimum so that the action can keep going on and on. The rugged 6061-T6 aluminum
chassis forms a rock-solid backbone that also draws heat away from the engine.
Full rubber-sealed ball bearings provide the ultimate protection and low
maintenance for nitro environments. The Magnum 281 transmission uses a
planetary gear differential with built-to-last hardened steel gears. The gear
diff requires no time-consuming adjustment and is virtually maintenance free.
The oil-filled Ultra Shocks use exclusive X-ring seal technology for reduced
friction and superior leak resistance. Traxxas engineers are dedicated to
keeping you on the throttle, not on the workbench.

Readers' Choice award for Best Nitro
Engine. – RC Car Action Magazine
The TRX 2.5 Racing Engine is nothing
short of amazing. It comes loaded with all the hottest performance goodies. The
two-needle composite slide carburetor, trick porting, and free-flowing rear
exhaust deliver unmatched, class-leading horsepower that rips huge wheelies and
pushes the Nitro Rustler past 50mph! Plus only the TRX 2.5 has the push-button
starting convenience of the EZ-Start Electric

Precision
2.4GHz Control
With the TQ 2.4GHz radio system, you just switch on
and 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. To customize the Nitro Rustler’s controls, the transmitter’s factory
servo directions can be easily reversed through the simple programming system.
High-Volume
Air Intake System
The TRX 2.5 Racing Engine uses a high-volume air
intake system with a two-stage air filter. The filter housing and neck are
designed to mate seamlessly with the carburetor to eliminate turbulence in the
air-flow going into the engine.
Tuned
Exhaust System
Nitro Rustler's tuned exhaust system increases the
engine's power output for maximum torque and incredible top speed. It also
promotes cooler running and better fuel efficiency.
EZ-Start Electric
Starting System
There's no penalty to pay for having more power
either. The TRX 2.5 Racing Engine is equipped with EZ-Start push-button electric
starting and simple, reliable tuning from the two-needle composite slide
carburetor. Plus it's backed by the support and reliability you expect from
Traxxas including the Exclusive Traxxas
Power Up Plan.
Fiber-Composite
/ 6061-T6 Aluminum Chassis
An upper, fiber-composite chassis deck
stabilizes the fuel tank and ties in to the 6061-T6 lower aluminum chassis. The
dual-plane design increases chassis rigidity allowing the suspension to
effectively soak up the bumps. The blue-anodized aluminum chassis acts like a
heat sink to draw additional heat away from the engine, plus it features
countersunk screw holes to prevent speed-robbing drag.
Alias
2.8" Pre-Glued Tires with Foam Inserts
The Nitro Rustler comes
with the impressive 2.8" Twin-Spoke mirror-chrome wheels. Alias rear tires
with a Step-Pin design, and wrapper with Alias ribbed tires up front. The
Twin-Spoke 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.
New
Body, New ProGraphix Paint
Scheme
The Nitro Rustler's fully trimmed and painted ProGraphix
body is available in two variatons of red and blue. 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.
Powder
Coated White Springs
New white
springs feature long-lasting white powder coated finish.
Bellcrank
Steering
High-performance
bellcrank steering system minimizes bump steer to increase cornering stability.
Tuned
Pipe
Call it a factory 'works' pipe. The pipe length and shape are
dyno-tuned for the TRX 2.5 to bring out the most power over the broadest RPM
range. All that means is you can nail the throttle hard at any speed and get
some serious 4-wheel roost.
Adjustable
Slipper Clutch
The slipper clutch on the Nitro Rustler is fully
adjustable to control the power output to the rear wheels for increased traction
control on a wide variety of surfaces. It also protects the transmission during
high-impact jump landings.
High-Torque
Steering Servo
A high-speed stadium truck needs a powerful
steering servo for responsive performance. An included Traxxas high-torque
steering servo comes standard for enhanced steering authority and reliability.
Oil-Filled
Ultra Shocks
Nitro Rustler's
advanced 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 shock rebuild kits.
Magnum
281 Transmission
The Nitro Magnum 281 single speed transmission
is built Nitro Tough with 32 pitch gears, metal top gear, and smooth-running,
long-lasting precision ball bearings. This proven, track-tested, three-gear
design is built for performance driving applications.
Planetary
Gear Differential
The Traxxas planetary gear differential uses
hardened steel internal gears for maximum strength during rigorous off-road
racing. This type of differential requires virtually no maintenance and its
efficient design puts maximum tire-shredding power to the wheels.
Fiber
Composite Arms
Durable fiber composite arms are extra tough to
take the off-road pounding we know you'll put Nitro Rustler through. Captured
rod ends on the metal turnbuckles provide unmatched durability and they simply
won't pop off.
Telescoping
U-Joint Driveshafts
Slider
driveshafts are extremely durable, and they allow greater articulation for
increased suspension travel.
