Traxxas Rustler VXL Review

[ranger220022]

If i can turn the rustler into a pure monster truck they have a sale lol incase i can only do bashing lol

[shacamillion]

@ranger220022 hey that could be possible

[ranger220022]

I still having trouble what rc car i want,i rustler or a stampede truck.I want something i can race with if the race track ever decides it wants to have race lagues

[ranger220022]

I was gonna suggest a brick lol

[ranger220022]

I just watched a video of one going 70mph and he didnt flip his so whats your issue?

[shacamillion]

@ranger220022 he probably had weight on the front

[ranger220022]

Like i said,learn to drive lol

[ranger220022]

wheels.

[ranger220022]

I seen the way people drive there cars on youtube and thats why i laugh at wheel wear comments.You think driving a car is all about skidding in circles and then you wonder why your whees go so quick.

[ranger220022]

You dont need a wheelie bar,you just need to learn to drive it.Hit the trigger gradually.When you drive a real car do you stomp on the gas fully off a green light? nooooo.Stick to skateboarding.

[shacamillion]

@ranger220022 wtf are you talking about if you were as smart as you try to make yourself seem you would know that at speeds of almost 70mph air will get under the body of the rc car and flip it over without a wheelie bar stick to video games little boy it doesn't take common sense to play those

[rcqwerty695]

does your esc and motor overheat on 3s?

[shacamillion]

my esc doesn't get too hot since i have the esc fan but the motor does get really hot but still works :/@rcqwerty695

[shacamillion]

@MrLicker65 the battery gives you about 5-10min of runtime and takes about 45min to charge and no it is not vital to have anaconda tires when driving on road

[mustangluver101]

ya ikr so lucky

[mustangluver101]

ive had my rustler for two years and i havnt broke ANYTHING yet

[shacamillion]

@mustangluver101 :o lucky guy

[SuperBmxrider12]

We didn't ask for a jato review

[199famus199]

haha i remeberized it

[shacamillion]

@199famus199 lol

[fuzzymarmalade]

what i recomend to get for your rustler to start is a wheelie bar a front bumper and a 2S Lipo it goes very fast but it doesent kill your moter. 3S lipo's make your car go so fast you wont be able to control it.

[shacamillion]

now a days i do run a 3s lipo with a front bumper and a wheelie bar and after a couple of months i learned to controll it on 3s@fuzzymarmalade

[mousey225]

How are you meant to fit a 3s lipo in there 5000mah? because it looks like it won't fit...

[shacamillion]

@mousey225 some 5000mah 3s lipos fit but some might require some grinding of the battery tray to fit

[jvaldez2011]

rememberize???? good review. bad vocab man. i have a rustler as well and one thing i will say about the stock vxl is that you have to get is titanium shock shaft and a RPM front bumper. those are a must have. the stock steel shock shaft bend way to easily. oh and a MIP drivetrain if you are running lipo, the stock drivetrain strips out really easy also.

[KTMBOY1112]

@jvaldez2011 I bend my shafts all the time, its pretty bad because i can bend them back with ease. I dont have the money to bye big bore.

[fordfan25]

I bought one of these a few weeks ago. very fast and very fun. just watch the motor temps is you live in a hot area. a temp gun is a must in hot summer months.

[dragon31ification]

would you recommend a bandit vxl or a rustler vxl

[shacamillion]

I would reccomend the rustler for the better handling and better looks

@dragon31ification

[kjo573]

How is the suspension could i drive it of a 5 foot ledge onto grass and small rocks

[shacamillion]

the suspension is good but i would recommend u putting some thicker shock oil in the shock so that it doesnt bottom out that hard@kjo573

[reidairsofter]

my wing got almost completly ripped off and i have a stock rustler vxl so i just took mine off. great vid too bro.

[shacamillion]

@reidairsofter ya same here my wing ripped off at the rc track 4 both of my rc cars

[MrScooterman89]

Hey man nice vid I've got the brand new rustler vxl to

[shacamillion]

nice you will be pleased when you put a lipo in it@MrScooterman89 

[martyMaster30]

How are the tires on it i was thinking of getting them for my jato

[shacamillion]

@martyMaster30 the tires r ok i went through the rears in 2 days with a 3s lipo

[martyMaster30]

@martyMaster30 damm i have no clue what to get for my jato if its going to destroy everything

[shacamillion]

@martyMaster30 same here both my cars go though tires fast

[Killer91109]

I am thinking of getting one of these, would it be a good buy? Also, do I need the adaptor or can I just remove the one from the wall charger and solder it to my peak charger?

[shacamillion]

@Killer91109 yes it will be a very good buy and yes you can steal the plug off the wall charger and solder it to your peak charger

[Killer91109]

@shacamillion Ordering it today, along with an EZ-Peak, so I can charge both my cars at the same time LOL.

[shacamillion]
