Traxxas Rustler 1:10 VXL RTR Green

Magnum 272R gearbox

The 2WD drive is realized through a new Magnum 272R gearbox modified for high performance. The transmission contains an aluminum bed with a fixed inter-gear, metal gears and a differential for power distribution to the rear wheels. All gearbox shafts are mounted in high-quality encapsulated bearings. The integrated, adjustable friction clutch allows for a slight slip during acceleration, thus absorbing the initial shock of the engine and thus protecting other components.

Oil shock absorbers

Ultra Shocks tlum oil dampers have an exclusive X-ring to reduce friction with excellent oil leakage resistance. The completely new body design underlines its graceful lines with successful predatory graphics, the low center of gravity gives the car great driving characteristics.

Wheels

The tires are glued to the discs, the high-quality rubber compound ensures excellent grip on all surfaces, the terrain pattern on the rear axle for power transmission, the grooved tires on the front for excellent steering.

Powerful AC motor

The Velineon 550 AC motor is precisely tuned for use in 1:10 RC cars. It provides car models with the perfect balance between performance and optimum efficiency. Another advantage is the long service life, which is determined only by ball bearings. The bearings can be purchased as part of the service kit under order number TRA3352R.

The motor is a 550 series, it has a 4-pole construction, which provides up to twice the torque compared to the two-pole version. The rotor is dynamically balanced and braided with Kevlar fabric to increase strength.

Traxxas TQi receiver

RC receiver Traxxas TQi 5 channels. TSM with telemetry for Traxxas TQi transmitters. Easy operation, button pairing. LED status indication. 3-axis MEMS sensors are integrated in the receiver to learn the position of the receiver.

The 5-channel receiver is also equipped with two connectors for connecting RPM (speed) and I / O (voltage / temperature) telemetry sensors.

Furthermore, an expansion telemetry module can be connected to the 4-pin connector, to which you can connect up to 6 other sensors, including a very accurate GPS speed sensor.

Traxxas Stability Management

The Traxxas Stability Management (TSM) system not only allows you to experience power, speed, acceleration and cornering at extreme speeds, but also guarantees much easier driving and control on slippery surfaces such as dust, smooth concrete or even ice and snow.

The receiver has a MEMS 3-axis gyro and an accelerometer, which evaluates the movement of the model about 100 times per second and corrects the direction of travel of the model by appropriate interventions in the steering of the front wheels. Traxxas TSM does not limit engine power - you have 100% control over engine power. The algorithms are tuned for each model separately. The level of assistance is set using the multifunction knob on the transmitter or in the Traxxas Link application.

RC set Traxxas TQi with Bluetooth ready

Traxxas has prepared a completely new range of two-channel RC kits with Bluetooth connectivity for you. The Bluetooth module (sold separately) allows you to connect the RC model with the clear graphic application Traxxas Link, which you can install into your Smartphone free of charge.

The Traxxas Link app for Apple devices is available for free on the AppStore , and the Google Android app is free on GooglePlay .

Traxxas Link App is a powerful application that gives you complete control over the operation and tuning of the RC model Traxxas with stunning visualization and absolute accuracy of settings. Traxxas Link can display telemetry data that provides the model in real time, such as speed, rpm, temperature, battery voltage and model tilt. (Telemetry provided varies by model type). You can share RC model settings, you can create any number of profiles for a specific track or user, eg children. Everything in an application with brilliant graphics, which is a matter of course from Traxxas.

Telemetry options vary by model. It may be necessary to install telemetry sensors to obtain telemetry data. You will find compatible telemetry parts with this model in the "Accessories - Telemetry" section. More information about telemetry installation here.

Wireless connection to the phone

By adding a Bluetooth module to the transmitter, you get the RC model's wireless connection function with the Traxxas Link application, which you can install on your phone free of charge. We recommend a phone holder to mount the phone to the transmitter.

Clear graphic application allows easy setup of the model. You can also view the telemetry that the model provides in the application. Telemetry options for specific models are listed in our Traxxas RC Models Telemetry blog.

LED lighting

Equip the model with a complete set of LED lighting for breathtaking day and night driving. Thanks to this lighting, your model will become a real gem. High-brightness diodes are not only effective, but provide a strong stream of light. The lighting also provides a better overview of the model's position.

Accessories for normal operation

For normal operation of the Traxxas RC car, you need screw glue, high-quality tire glue, silicone shock absorber oil and a set of screwdrivers. From our range we recommend an affordable set of tools for cars.

The screw glue drips the thread or the head of the screw, which fixes it and the vibrations caused by driving do not allow the screw connection to loosen. The screw adhesive has a special composition that allows the screw connection to be easily loosened with a reasonable torque without damaging the screw head. Never use ordinary instant glue, it could be impossible to loosen a screw glued in this way at all!

The tire glue adheres the tires to the rim of the disc. It is always necessary that the tire is firmly glued to the wheel rim around the entire circumference! If the tire is not stuck around the entire circumference, it may rupture. The tire adhesive has a special composition that is able to bond materials such as rubber or nylon, and at the same time the adhesive is flexible after hardening. Never use ordinary instant glue - it is not flexible after hardening and cracks in the tire would gradually form around the rims!

Occasionally it is necessary to add silicone oil to the model's shock absorbers. During normal operation, there is only a slight leakage of silicone oil along the shock absorber piston rods. If the damper piston rod surface or seal condition is in poor condition, the oil leak may be large. So-called repair kits are supplied for these cases. In the range of tuning parts, piston rods with an extremely hard TiN (titanium nitride) coating are supplied with all shock absorbers. TiN-coated piston rods are easily recognizable by their golden-green color.
