Traxxas brings the best in tire-melting, supercharged brushless electric power to the Ready-to-Race® Rustler...and the result is the Rustler VXL, with even more power than you ever thought possible!

At its heart is the Velineon® Extreme Brushless Power System, featuring the Velineon 3500 brushless motor and the new VXL-3s forward/reverse electronic speed control. The system accepts the widest range of battery types, including 3-cell Lithium-Polymer packs, and includes Maxx Cable 12 gauge wire with a new Traxxas High-Current Connector. With its jet-like thrust, the Velineon Extreme Brushless Power System pushes the Rustler VXL into the stratosphere with an incredible 70+ mph top speed.

The Rustler VXL combines on- and off-road versatility in the ultimate brushless speed machine, with a tough new look — plus additional performance enhancements including a digital, high-torque steering servo, steel turnbuckles, steel transmission gears, 5x11 ball bearings and precision hex hardware.

The included TQ radio system includes a high-power transmitter with a specially designed comfort grip, a precise high-torque steering servo, and a compact receiver for up to a quarter-mile range.	A race truck needs a powerful steering servo for responsive performance. An included Traxxas digital high-torque, ball bearing steering servo comes standard for precision control, quick response, and unmatched torque.

Transform your Rustler VXL into a menacing street machine with separately available Anaconda 2.8” street treads. These sticky, high-traction tires are made for aggressive handling on paved surfaces.
