omg i had one of those for 8 YEARS!!!! totally stock except for the motor after like 6 years and a couple steering servos. i drove that thing through mud, sand, grass, asphalt, you name it it did it! i recommend those to anyone! i can't wait to get my hands on a vxl. great video, too. nice editing.
to make the rustler handle better you can fit a pair of rear swingarms to the fromt to make the front wider to increase stabilty when jumping and in turns.
great video, excellent editing, and footage..I would like to do a video like this with my VXL rusty..but between work, the wife and kids its kinda hard.
back in the day traxxas shouldve bought this video off of you just watching it made me want to get another rustler to add to the 5 i already own oh yea i love the rusty
They're good because you have to really really hard to break them through regular bashing and putzing around. And if you do break something, there are a ton of aftermarket parts out there for it, so much so that you could build something which resembles a rustler purely from aftermarket parts, using only stock axles and hinge pins in the front (bulkhead and casters), although I think you can probably get those in titanium too.
I've got a bandit xl-5 with the modified titan 12 the thing is a blast my first off road and electric man it's so much more fun than my nitro on road I think next I'll get the VXL rustler instead of doing a conversion and swap. that why I'll have a beater. The things do take a beating though.
The most awesome video! I don't think I've ever seen anything like this! It's obvious you've put a lot of time into the production of this vid. And for being a stock rig, this thing looks like it's smoking!
just bought one of these today. for 175 bucks its the best R/C car/truck i have ever had. but then again i have only had toys. i would be kind of nervous to do what you do with it though. i dont want to break it, it kicks serous ass and i love it. im mostly playing around in an empty parking lot right now.
The new evader ext is pretty much unbreakable, and faster than a rustler xl-5. I have an evader bx buggy and its awesome. Rustlers have more aftermarket options, but evaders can also be upgraded with factory hop-ups. I hope this helps.
Very nice video-- good production, nice camera work. I have a Rustler-- bone stock and you're right, it's a blast-- and man does it take a beatin'! And it wins races too!
i couldnt agree more with you. i have had a stock rustler when i was smaller and have a stock 07 rustler now. my friend has a nitro rustler all tweaked out and i threw more at rusty than he could at his. i could jump higher and run longer. is yours brushless? both mine are/were. STOCK POWER!!!
the sidewinder is just an esc.i like the x-celorin because the esc has a fan on it and the motor is a 4800 kv.the vxl is 3500 kv.i have a 7-cell 3000 mah battery in my rustler, and it will do about 40-45 mph!
Hey im just getting into Rc racing and i live around alot of bmx tracks which is mostly where im goign to use my RC car, i was thinking about getting a Rustler, but i want a fast, basher that i can easily get replacement parts for, or hop ups. Also if i do get a rustler, what kind of battery should i get? and where? thanks
Now, i think nitro is great, but after watching that how can you stil like nitro? The electrics are so advanced these days that a rustler can beat a T-Maxx.
LOL Dude, I LOVE the opening of this video! I never thought I would be captivated by a video of a bone stock rustler but damn if this video doesn't make me want to go out and buy one!
yeah it does, just stick a hi flow air filter and plus the batteries for the ECU are in the very back, adding all that weight in the back, making it pulls wheelies everytime you floor it
sorry i actually meant the nitro rustler i had one over a year ago and the battery box for the ecu was located on the rear bumper, behind the back tires, so all that weight made it wheely as soon as you hit the gas

the coolest idea on earth:
1.) get one of these cars with the long-range transmitter and receiver (1-2 miles)
2.) get a 2-mile wireless portable mini-cam for the car
3.) hook up the cam receiver into your laptop.
4.) make sure all your batteries are charged for the day. :)
5.) Have a friend do the same thing with different frequencies.
6.) Head to the track.
And then enjoy extremely realistic video game racing! haha!
