Rustler® sits low and wide for maximum stability with a lightweight chassis for agile handling not found on other trucks. Rustler dominates dirt tracks and tears up tarmac with a blistering 40+ MPH top speed thanks to its new BL-2s™ brushless power system. Rustler delivers full-throttle fun in a Ready-to-Race® package that’s been fortified with Traxxas’ Extreme Heavy Duty components to take brutal punishment in stride.
Rustler’s waterproof BL-2s brushless power system ramps up the fun with more torque, faster acceleration, and less maintenance than comparable brushed power systems. The BL-2s is a model of efficiency and refinement, offering more power than before with the safety and convenience that only Traxxas can deliver.
Extreme Heavy Duty components come factory-installed on Rustler for game-changing durability. Key drivetrain and suspension components are beefed-up with extra material for unbeatable strength. From HD suspension arms to upgraded driveshafts, Rustler sets a new standard for durability for your off-road adventures.
Rustler’s clipless body holds firm no matter how rough the action gets. Heavy-duty latches grip the body tightly, but release in just seconds for fast battery swaps. This convenient hidden latching system replaces traditional body clips with reinforced panels to maintain body integrity and resist pull-through damage.
