Characteristics
The Traxxas Rustler is a powerful 1:10 RC car model with 2WD drive that travels at speeds of up to 55 km/h. It is fully assembled and ready to ride right out of the box. It is powered by a powerful Titan 550 12T DC motor with an XL-5 controller. The simple Traxxas TQ 2.4 GHz RC kit provides precise mechanics for precise control. It includes a NiMH battery and a modern USB-C charger for safe and carefree operation.
A low chassis with a short wheelbase provide high stability and quick steering response that you won't find anywhere else. You can drive the model on asphalt, low grass and off-road. For riding in a wet environment, the model has waterproof* electronics.
Chassis
The rigidity of the chassis is ensured by the proven construction of the nylon chassis, which is light and at the same time strong and very durable.
Gearbox, adjustable disc clutch and planetary differential
The gearbox, disc clutch and planetary differential are enclosed in one compact unit. A friction clutch transmission reliably transmits engine power to the axles, the Magnum 272™ planetary differential has gears made of hardened steel. This system requires absolutely minimal maintenance. There are pinions and sprockets with different numbers of teeth, so you can fine-tune the model for speed and technical tracks.
Friction clutch
The Revo Spec Torque Control friction clutch ensures smooth power transmission and is adjustable. A properly set amount of slip protects the drive train, while not reducing the acceleration of the model.
Oil dampers
High-lift oil shocks use dual X-rings for perfect sealing and perfect running. Robust design combined with high oil volume can absorb even hard impacts in difficult terrain. You can tune the dampers to your liking by adjusting the springs and changing the viscosity of the oil.
Wheels
The tires are glued to the discs, the quality rubber compound of the tires ensures excellent grip on all surfaces, the off-road pattern on the rear axle for power transfer, the grooved tires on the front for excellent handling.
Servo steering
Digital servo standard size Traxxas servo 2056 6.2kg.cm waterproof with DC motor and nylon gears has a torque of 6.2 kg.cm and a speed of 0.20 s/60°@ 6.0 V. For water resistance*, the servo box is fitted with a seal.
Powerful Titan 12T engine
The car model is fitted with a modified Titan 550 12T DC motor. The motor has 30% more power than conventional 540 motors. The rotor at the back of the motor contains a propeller that blows air into the motor and effectively cools it.
Traxxas XL 5 electronic controller
Waterproof* Traxxas XL-5 electronic controller with three driving modes, support for modern high-capacity LiPo batteries and easy control with the EZ-Set™ button. The XL-5 controller is equipped with a training mode that limits full throttle to 50%. Thanks to this, novice drivers or children can gradually familiarize themselves with the features of the model and prepare for the full power of the car. Thermal protection, gold-plated connectors and incredibly low internal resistance are the currency of this regulator.
XL controller modes 5
- Sport : Default mode, forward, braking and reverse are possible.
- Race : Mode suitable for racing. Forward and brake is possible; reverse is not available.
- Training : Mode suitable for children or novice riders. It is possible to drive forward with a power limitation of 50%, brake and drive backwards again with a power limitation of 50%.
Traxxas TQ RC Kit
The model is controlled by a two-channel proportional steering wheel RC radio Traxxas TQ, working in the 2.4 GHz band - operation without interference. The transmitter is powered by only 4 AA cells.
There is a rotary knob on the transmitter that trims the wheel steering (to make the model go straight if the steering wheel is in the center position). The status of the batteries in the transmitter is indicated by an LED. On the transmitter, reverse can be set on the gas channel and steering..
TQ receiver
The Traxxas TQ 2.4 GHz three-channel receiver ensures safe driving without interruptions. Easy pairing with one button. Status indication by means of an LED diode.

We recommend to buy
Recommended spare batteries
To extend the driving time, we recommend purchasing an additional battery. For regular riding and for children, we recommend buying one more identical NiMH battery, which is included in the package. For maximum driving time and higher performance, you can use modern LiPo batteries. If you use different types of accumulators, it is always necessary to set the type of the connected accumulator on the controller!
- For normal riding, Traxxas 8.4 V 3000 mAh NiMH battery (flat).
- For regular riding with longer driving times, the Traxxas 8.4 V 5000 mAh NiMH battery (high).
- For maximum driving time Traxxas LiPo battery 7.4 V 5800 mAh.
Recommended Traxxas Chargers
Traxxas universal chargers can charge Traxxas LiPo and NiMH batteries. (The charger included in the package is intended only for the NiMH type battery that is included in the package.) Traxxas chargers are a simple and safe way to charge batteries. Traxxas uses the unique iD system , so you're always sure to connect everything easily and safely. There is an integrated chip in the battery connector, which the Traxxas charger automatically recognizes and sets all battery charging parameters for you. More information here.
Universal chargers for batteries up to 3S LiPo and NiMH
- Traxxas EZ-Peak 50W Single Output Mains Charger
- Traxxas EZ-Peak 2x50W mains charger with 2 outputs
LED lighting
Equip the model with a complete set of LED lighting for a breathtaking ride day and night. Thanks to this lighting, your model will become a real gem. High-luminosity diodes are not only effective, but also provide a strong stream of light. At the same time, the lighting provides a better overview of the model's position.
Carrying bag and backpack
Carry the RC model comfortably and safely in a Traxxas sports bag or backpack. In addition to the main large pocket for the model, there are specially designed side pockets for batteries, charger, tools, etc.
Accessories for normal operation
For normal operation of the Traxxas RC car, you need bolt glue, good quality tire glue, silicone shock oil and a set of screwdrivers. We recommend an affordable set of tools for cars from our range.
The thread or head of the screw is dripped with screw glue, which fixes it and the vibrations caused by driving will not allow the screw connection to loosen. The screw adhesive has a special composition that allows the screw connection to be easily loosened with an adequate torque without damaging the screw head. Never use ordinary instant glue, it might be impossible to loosen a screw stuck like this!
Tire glue is used to glue the tires to the disc rim. It is always necessary that the tire is firmly stuck to the wheel rim all the way around! If the tire is not glued all the way around, it may tear. Tire glue has a special composition that is able to glue materials such as rubber or nylon, and at the same time, after hardening, the glue is flexible. Never use ordinary instant glue - it is not flexible after hardening and cracks would gradually form in the tire around the rims!
Sometimes it is necessary to add silicone oil to the dampers of the model. During normal operation, there are only slight leaks of silicone oil on the piston rods of the shock absorber. In the event that the surface of the damper pistons or the condition of the seals is in poor condition, the oil leakage may be large. For these cases, so-called repair kits are supplied. In the range of tuning parts, piston rods with an extremely hard TiN (titanium nitride) coating are delivered to all shock absorbers. Piston rods with a TiN surface are easily recognized by their golden-green color.
