Characteristics
Start of sales 17.11.
The Traxxas Rustler remote control car model in the Ultimate version is simply the pinnacle in speed, acceleration and control. The powerful Velineon AC motor enables speeds of up to 70 km/h . The 4x4 drive and TSM electronic ride stabilization contribute to excellent handling. For high durability , a number of aluminum parts are used on the axles and chassis, which also provide a unique design. Telemetry sensors and a bluetooth module in the radio are installed, which can be used to connect the model with a phone and the Traxxas Link application to display telemetry (speed, revolutions, engine temperature, battery voltage) . A quick-release body mounting system is used for a clean look and easy battery replacement.
The LCG chassis made it possible to further lower the center of gravity position without reducing the ground clearance of the chassis. Another change took place in the shock absorbers, where the model is equipped with better GTR High Volume shock absorbers with piston rods coated with Titanium Nitride. An adjustable friction clutch, an aluminum center shaft, a front and rear differential, telescopic half-axles and aluminum ball bearing blocks are used to distribute the power from the engine. These components are highly resistant and have a perfect appearance, they are also complemented by a colored anodized central reinforcement. Gravix high-speed tires with new tread plates ensure maximum traction on hard surfaces.
The RC Model is powered by a powerful 4-pole Velineon 3500kv AC motor, which has more precise operation and 2x higher torque. The speed controller includes 3 driving modes, with the Training mode reducing power to 50%. This mode enables safe driving for beginners or children. A waterproof* Traxxas 2075R digital servo is installed for steering.
Modular chassis
The completely new modular chassis of the Rustler 4x4 can be easily disassembled into parts with just a screwdriver. Within a minute you have access to all important components, model settings and service maintenance. Solid, reinforced bumpers protect the model from impacts, while they are designed to maintain high approach angles.
Robust axle elements
The axle arms are made of durable composite material for maximum durability. The new Rustler is thus even more impact resistant. The half-axles have been reinforced in stressed parts and can transfer the enormous torque of the AC motor to the wheels.
Friction clutch
An adjustable friction clutch adds protection to the drive system, ensuring a smooth but aggressive start without losing traction.
Clipless bodywork
The ProGraphic body is newly reinforced with a frame, and thanks to a simple clamping system, changing batteries is quick and without losing clips. All you have to do is intuitively insert the bodywork at the front and secure it with one movement of the clip at the back.
Wheelie Bar
Wheelie Bar rear wheels are essential on a performance model like the new Rustle 4x4 VXL. A reinforced rear bar with wheels provides protection to the thrust wing and prevents the model from tipping over when full throttle is applied.
Fitted with tuning parts
Unlike other Traxxas RC models, the Rustler Ultimate is already equipped with a number of tuning parts, such as aluminum blocks, aluminum center shaft, aluminum center brace, GTR tuning aluminum shock absorbers with Teflon inner liner and titanium nitride coated steel piston rods for minimum friction and maximum resistance to scratches from flying stones.
GTR aluminum shock absorbers
The GTR oil-filled aluminum/teflon shock absorbers feature an exclusive X-Ring to reduce friction with excellent resistance to oil leakage. The preload of the springs can be adjusted simply by using a nut and the stiffness by changing the viscosity of the oil.
Servo steering
Digital Traxxas servo 2075R high-speed waterproof with DC motor and metal gears has a torque of 9.0 kg.cm 6.0 V. For water resistance*, the servo box and the output 1,000-hedge are fitted with seals. Two ball bearings provide very smooth operation.
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 optimal 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 of the 550 series, has a 4-pole design, which provides up to twice the torque compared to the two-pole version. The rotor is dynamically balanced and wrapped with Kevlar fabric to increase strength.
Electronic controller VXL-3S
Waterproof* electronic Traxxas Velineon VXL-3S V2 AC controller with three driving modes, support for modern high-capacity LiPo batteries and easy control with the EZ-Set™ button. The VXL-3S 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, simple operation and intuitive signaling with a two-color LED diode.
VXL-3S controller modes
- 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%.
The cooler of the regulator can be supplemented with an optional fan (not included in the package).
Traxxas TQi receiver
RC receiver Traxxas TQi 5 channel. TSM with telemetry for Traxxas TQi transmitters. Simple operation, pairing with a button. LED status indication. 3-axis MEMS sensors are integrated in the receiver for learning the position of the receiver.
The 5-channel receiver is also equipped with two connectors for connecting telemetry sensors RPM (revolutions) and V/T (voltage / temperature).
Furthermore, a telemetry extension module can be connected to the 4-pin connector, into which you can connect up to 6 more sensors, including a very accurate GPS speed sensor.
Traxxas TQi RC kit with Bluetooth ready
Traxxas has prepared for you a completely new series of two-channel RC kits with Bluetooth connectivity. The Bluetooth module (included in the package) will allow you to connect the RC model with the clear graphic application Traxxas Link, which you can install for free on your smartphone.
The Traxxas Link app for Apple devices is available for free on the AppStore , the app for Google Android devices is free on GooglePlay .
BT module and telemetry
The Slash 4X4 Ultimate is already equipped with a Bluetooth module and telemetry sensors as standard. All model settings can be done in the Traxxas Link application, where you can also clearly display telemetry in real time (speed, engine speed, engine temperature and total battery voltage).
Traxxas Stability Management
The Traxxas Stability Management (TSM) stability system allows you to experience not only power, speed, acceleration and cornering at extreme speed, but also guarantees much easier steering 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 on the order of 100 times per second and corrects the model's direction of travel by appropriate interventions in the steering of the front wheels. Traxxas TSM does not limit engine power - you have 100% control over engine power. Algorithms are tuned for each model separately. The level of assistance is set using the multi-function controller on the transmitter or possibly in the Traxxas Link application.

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.
