All about Rustler 4x4 Brushless

Description

Traxxas Rustler 4x4 Brushless is a stadium truck built for speed and control. It sits lower than a monster truck, features four-wheel drive, and is made for those who crave a fast 1:10 car that's sharp on asphalt yet eager for gravel and dirt. On a 3S LiPo, it can hit up to 80 km/h – but it's already a blast on 2S.

The essence of the Rustler: its low, wide stance encourages you to push the throttle a bit longer through turns. Sledgehammer ST tires, GTR shocks, and 4x4 traction ensure a solid grip when the ground gets loose, while maintaining precision on firm surfaces.

Extreme Heavy Duty components, a metal gear servo, oil-filled differentials, and a torque-biasing center drivetrain come standard. It's a thorough build for a speedy 1:10 car, but with speed comes responsibility. 3S is for the experienced driver who has space, and Training Mode can limit the top speed to 50% initially.

The clipless body quickly removes for battery changes. The electronics are water-protected for wet weather and surfaces, but the car shouldn't be submerged. Dry and maintain the car after wet runs.

Traxxas Rustler 4x4 Brushless Highlights:

  • Low 4x4 stadium truck with safe and precise handling
  • VX3 brushless system - up to 56 km/h on 2S and 80 km/h on 3S LiPo
  • GTR shocks, metal gear servo, and Extreme Heavy Duty components

What's new with VX3?

The VX3 system includes a Velineon V3200 brushless motor, cooling fan, and a speed controller with three driving programs. Sport Mode offers forward, brake, and reverse. Race Mode has forward and brake, while Training Mode limits both forward and reverse to 50%. Start with 2S and Training Mode to get familiar with the car.

The TQi Sport remote features Traxxas Stability Management - TSM. It helps keep the car steady during acceleration and braking, especially when traction is low. It's an aid, not a replacement for space and control on the throttle. The remote uses 4 x AA batteries.

Who is Rustler 4x4 for?

Rustler 4x4 is the perfect choice when you want a fast car that still feels stable and precise. It's lower than the Stampede, offering a more grounded feel on firm terrain, while the four-wheel drive provides extra support on gravel and dirt. If you want that raw monster truck vibe and higher ground clearance, check out the Stampede 4x4 Brushless.

This is a car that rewards good driving space and a bit of regular maintenance. Pay special attention to the wheels, suspension, and drivetrain after intense driving, and wipe the car down after a wet run. Find Traxxas spare parts here if your car needs a part or a little love in the workshop.

Workshop Tips

The Rustler 4x4 is our top pick when customers want a fast car that still feels safe and precise. It's lower than the Stampede, making it more stable on solid ground, while the 4x4 drive handles gravel and dirt with ease. It's got speed to spare - that's why a 2S is a strong and sensible first battery choice.
