The truck’s set of oil-filled Ultra Shocks is complemented with progressive rate springs that help maintain a smooth ride rough terrain and big air jumps. Its one-piece aluminum driveshaft distributes the power between front and rear gearboxes, resulting in an impressively smooth and efficient driveline operation. This is possible thanks to a robust transmission set up that includes a larger Revo-Spec slipper clutch and extreme heavy-duty driveshafts. If you’re looking for pure speed, it’s good to know that the Rustler 4X4 VXL’s Velineon 3500kV sensorless and brushless motor can power it to over 65 miles per hour while running the recommended battery and gearing pairing. The result is a truck that confidently careens around tight corners and jumps with ease. The wheelbase of the stadium truck has been lengthened by 20mm in order to provide enhanced balance for stability and responsiveness. The Rustler’s low-CG chassis positions the truck’s mass low for improved stability and confident handling. This four-wheel drive stadium truck already features plenty of upgrades straight out of the box including a completely brushless electronics package as well as a low-center of gravity (low-CG) composite chassis. Traxxas’ Rustler 4X4 VXL amps up the already impressive performance of its base-model version by further augmenting it with generous amounts of brushless power for aggressive off road speed and sure footed stability. Before we jump into how we upgraded our Rustler, let’s recap what the Rustler 4X4 VXL is all about. We could never leave anything in its factory configuration after all.
#TRAXXAS RUSTLER 4X4 VXL TIRES UPGRADE#
Now that we have had some time with it in its stock form, we thought that it was a good time to upgrade it for even more driving fun with a selection of Traxxas factory upgrade parts.
Those who read our previous review of the Rustler will remember that we were enthralled with its dynamic driving and robust durability characteristics. Our pink and purple liveried four-wheel drive truck is driven by Traxxas’ powerful brushless Velineon motor and electronic speed controller combination. We previously managed to get a hold of a Rustler 4X4 VXL to review in the January issue of RCCA.
It’s definitely a versatile and fun vehicle to drive.
Available in no less than six variations, Rustler is offered in two or four wheel-drive and is motivated by your choice of a brushed motor, brushless motor and even nitro engine option. One of the most popular RC vehicles that Traxxas offers is the stadium truck called Rustler.
