Description
THE RC STADIUM TRUCK REDEFINED
The all-new Rustler 4X4 VXL is a hard-charging wheelie machine that captures the speed and classic style of the number-one-selling Rustler and injects it with brutal 4-wheel drive performance, increased durability, and even more fun! Bury the throttle and the Rustler 4X4 VXL launches its front wheels skyward as it shreds the ground underneath. Beneath the sleek clipless body, the heavy-duty driveline delivers extreme Velineon brushless horsepower. The larger Talon EXT wheels and tires provide versatility and grip for any terrain, from backyard trails to concrete skate parks. Rustler 4X4 VXL destroys convention to become the new performance and fun standard for 4X4 stadium trucks!
ALL-NEW CHASSIS
The all-new low-CG chassis positions the weight low for aggressive handling. The wheelbase has been lengthened 20mm for the perfect balance of stability and quick response. Brushless Velineon power flows through a larger Revo-Spec slipper clutch and new extreme heavy-duty driveshafts to ensure performance and strength.
SELF-RIGHTING
The Rustler 4X4 VXL uses Traxxas' patented Self-Righting feature to keep the fun going, even when you get carried away with the wheelies or land that big trick upside down. Simply press a button on the TQi transmitter and, in most circumstances*, the Rustler 4X4 VXL will be back on its wheels in just seconds and ready for more action!
- *3s power recommended for optimal performance
CLIPLESS BODY MOUNTING
Similar to the flagship E-Revo, the Rustler 4X4 VXL uses a clipless body latching system for secure mounting and fast, one-handed removal and installation. The sleek, aerodynamic body features a rugged internal structure and external rollover protection for long life and Traxxas-Tough durability.
INNOVATION
The Rustler 4X4 VXL is packed with innovative engineering, even in the smallest details, to deliver a powerful and tough truck that's all about speed, durability, and performance.
DETAILS
Details make the difference when Traxxas engineers set their focus on making the performance and durability gains that make Rustler 4X4 VXL such a huge standout for high-speed fun.
