I had the first edition of the rustler vxl years ago. I got a 3S to try and hit 70mph. Anything over 3/4 throttle and the air under the truck would just flip it over. Met with the guys at traxxas at a trade show, they said the only way they could do it was by strapping weight to the front. I later got a 2S and that was the best setup. Plenty of speed for a track but you could be more aggressive with the throttle.
@@Mr.Gribble wouldn't a better RC car be fun? Why are you being a whiny snowflake? I never said there was anything wrong with the slash I just said they're is even better ones out there I have a slash and I like it
@@tmar352 Well, now that I know you have and enjoy your Slash, I change my mind. I had just assumed you were one of those people who constantly fight about what brand is better.
@@Mr.Gribble all good sorry for the mix up, and that was an old comment about the losi. I did like the losi 4x4 more than the slash 4x4 BC it has metal chassis so heavier and more planted it still has things worse about it also. I now have a 2wd slash lcg and like it the most for my style of bashing.
I just picked up a rustler 4x4 vxl the other day. Havent had a chance to take it out yet. Looks like made a good choice. I got the 2s battery to start out with since its my first decent Rc car.
@minty Yeah, I like it a lot. It's pretty damn tough and really fast on 3s, batteries. I ended up getting two 3s battery's becuse it was kind of slow on 2s. I recommend getting the a fan for bothe the ESC and the motor, or it will overheat on you pretty quick. Especially if you put the high-speed gear in and/or you are doing back to back high speed runs. I put a pretty good beating on it wreaking/flipping it, and it's held up great. The only parts I've broken so far are the front shock tower and front differential. It was completely my fault, though. I smashed it into a big ass rock at 55 mph. I was paying attention to the GPS telemetry and not where I was driving. I will say if you like to drift and slide a lot, then a 2wd slash might be a better option. The differentals in the rustler don't lend it to drifting very well. It will send all the power to the inside wheels and flip it over before it drifts. Unnless you're on a very hard but loose surface, it's pretty hard to get it to do donuts. I recommend getting the traxxas telemetry expander pack also. With the expander pack, you can download an app on your phone so you can monitor the motor' RPM'S, temperatures, GPS speed, and battery voltage. It uses Bluetooth to connect the radio to your phone.
what is pheasantland rc track hours? I live about an hour from this track and I was trying to come checkout the track. I have a maxx and 2 stampede vxl's. thanks.
Mine is on its way, reviews said the battery didnt fit but i got the same 3s. And you explained so now not worried i wasted time on the wrong battery thats also on its way. Thank you!
Is there any way to reduce the power? will be new on this so will need some training. planning to start with the 2s batteries. but is there any additional power reduction I can do ? do you think the training mode is just fine? thanks.
Hi, I have a T-MAX 3.3 , but I’m looking electric traxxas and I see the new MAX and the E-REVO, but I don’t like because doesn’t come with the battery what you guys recommend me..
Bought one as my first rc car and it will not stop breaking parts, total garbage. Traxxus should make the parts strong enough for the power the motor puts out.
@@Soviet_Saguaro Yeah, the thing is that the stock rustler already costs 430€. With the needed upgrades we're looking at a 600-700€ RC which is way too much money on such a small RC car. For that price you can buy an E-Revo 2.0 which is miles better than the rustler 4x4 vxl!

I have the same color Rustler and it's great. Very dependable and tough as nails. I wouldn't trade it for any other RC car

Dude were trying to figure out if were buying this tomorrow and your terminology and knowledge was so good man thanks! 👊🏻
This truck is awesome. Not wasted money. So much fun. Just bought the stampede too Traxxas kicks ass
Get a losi, they are even better than traxxas for the most part
@@tmar352 Can you stop being an elitist and just let people have fun?

We have the Rustler 4X4 VXL, great RC car, very fast. Nice video
This is about the best summary I have seen.

Great video, I especially liked the hill climb.
You will love the Stampede 4x4 VXL

Looking in to getting one. Was wondering, what's the battery run time on full charge? Thanks
Just the video I needed. Wasnt sure to get the rwd or the 4x4. Now i know
This video helps so much thank you very much
Mine is on its way, reviews said the battery didnt fit but i got the same 3s. And you explained so now not worried i wasted time on the wrong battery thats also on its way. Thank you!
still one of my favorite trucks.. you'll love it

You said it's one of your all-time favorites you said you have the Max and xmaxx and my question is why do you like the rustler.
4:08
It's as fast as the Xmaxx and tougher than the Max. It won so many of our mud bog events, it's Just an all around good truck
Is this track free to run on or do u have to pay a fee?
awesome rc and great run,nice review
I like the sledge
Great looking car.
Can I just pull up to the track here or no
Hi, I have a T-MAX 3.3 , but I’m looking electric traxxas and I see the new MAX and the E-REVO, but I don’t like because doesn’t come with the battery what you guys recommend me..
Nice man
I got a question so do u turn on the car first or remote then when u want to turn it off with one u turn off
always remote first and always turn off remote last
nice😀

Mud pit? That’s a pond . Don’t follow this guy and drive thru deep water you will ruin it
I have. 3😍
I also have one
How can you guys easily afford a $600+ car??
Good job
It’s 350
@@BE_A_ST4R no
I make $300k a year

👍🏾💯

I'm not buying a battery operated rc car for 400 dollars and it not even come with a battery or charger. That's just crazy.
then don’t buy it
Then you don't want a high quality high powered RC car
@@Soviet_Saguaro High quality = plastic shocks and driveshafts? lol
@@donatotusi9140 what did you expect it to be? Titanium? You can always upgrade with aftermarket parts
