[ZACHBIELSKITV]

Great camera guy, press the button

[ccsquared55]

how do you get it to stay so straight?

[561Juancho]

No 40 no wayyy man my is stock goes 28 full charge.

[devious1378]

Not to burst your bubble, but no were near 40mph...

try around 20 if your lucky...

[clubpenguinmaster66]

@devious1378 probably not 40 but not 20 either, mine stock goes a little faster than a car doing 25 so id say around 30 give or take.

[specializedbabis]

no0b!!FIRST OF ALL,you need a pair o shoes...

[nevertoooldtohavefun]

great video! thanks guys. I'm impressed this thing is going so fast non-brushless. awesome. thanks for posting

[MrEvanCW]

[JDTV1997]

[JMASTERTRACTORS]

[Superthecod]

[Brandon1580769]

[APDlandscapinginc]

[rustlerdude5277]

you should get a velenion motor its fricken fast

[totoandamigo]

you dont need to warm up an elctric fucktard

[BBguner44]

@totoandamigo yes u do actually fuckin herp derp

[bikeXscootXski]

i cant wait to get mine monday!

[womackke]

no need to "warm it up"........

[alphenchick]

rdy camera guy? "GAAARRHGH"!

[teer10]

lol mines almost 2 times faster lol?

[redneckalex08]

$199.99? This truck should be sick, i've got an e-maxx 3906, but i'm def thinkin' about buying something smaller for the track, and later on convert to brushless

[SuperTim1965]

Nice Rustler! I Like it. You Should Check out the Track I'm Building For My 1/10 Traxxas Brushed Rustler XL-5

[marlonbvdl]

This is really decent for an xl5, nice :D

[carchaos]

the stock motor sucks brushless is god

[ALeXscooters29]

after 4 days of use with this car the slipper clutch moved the pinion gear out of place, so the motor was spinning but the wheels weren't.

[alexxxdgr8]

you should really "bump it up" and get the velenion brushless engine and speed control its much faster and the engines last alot longer i went through 4 brushed engines and i have had the brushless one for a while.

[98Ps3lover]

no offense dude, but the venom battery has the exact same specs as the stock traxxas battery. you are not bumping it up.

[H4XXOR666]

I've got one and took it to the track today

[cykotik1]

I just placed an order for one today. Can't wait.

[slash4x4lipo]

stock gearing?

[reshiram21]

How fast was it going?

[TraxxasRustlerBros]

It is a nice car, well-built, but the only problem is that you eat through motors like crazy.

[wackzingo]

@TraxxasRustlerBros do you mean on the rustler or on all electrics?

[slash4x4lipo]

all stock?

[thefreakish3]

im buying this truck tomorrow moring

[TerrellKX]

were did you get that battery

[mustang01man]

i just got one off craigs list for $60 with charger, rustler, 3000mah battery and remote. Now i wanna mod it with a bigger battery for more speed. Will a bigger battery do that or do i need to mod the gears?

[mageac]

@mustang01man get a li-po

[colebz420]

no way 40

[jackmcdonlad]

40 miles an hour my ass more like 6

[JestRose]

i hope this runs a lipo

[TBShighschoolWPB]

@crossman1998 No.



[crossman1998]

Hey wat were to happen if u would take out the stock battery and replace it with a bigger one or engine ?

[uchiha7443]

does it ever flip going from a stand still to full throttle like the brushless one?

[sslash5]

@uchiha7443 this can barley do wheelies and tops out at 32 mph (i replaced it with a vxl :):)

[mageac]

@uchiha7443 with a lipo it will nearly flip over backwards from a stop on pavement, not with the stock c cell

[ottwilliam]

does vthe motor being on the back side does that ever get damaged?

[UndeadSoulzz69]

"oooo a duck..........faggot" LOL

[scottlovesmud]

@UndeadSoulzz69 your a douche. an ass douche  quit calling people names

[ishootyou1000]

haha dude change the motor ha nvm didnt watch the whole thing

[ishootyou1000]

haha dude change the motor

[MoparMania980]

thats a nice truck.......im getting 1 pretty soon

[TraxxasRustler97]

@MoparMania980 get vxl

[azaza50ful]

@MoparMania980 me tooh

[zaxtogo]

my goes faster



[nstahlable]

I burned 4 motors out on the xl-5 system. But when I upgraded it it was just fine

[nsbelmore]

i have a losi mini t that goes faster =p

[dillonisawesome1]

is that brushless

[TheNephew31]

@dillonisawesome1 nope

[crboys96]

hahah i love this vid.....kuz at 1:11 "ooooo a duck" lol couldent stop laughing

[marientje444]

2:52 peeeeeeeep 

[kyrkbymannen]

You need brushless upgrade dude!!

[XzreflexX42]

on the antenna can you cut the wire thats hanging left over... idk cuz its my 1st rc car

[stewbee25]

slow!! buy a vxl you will be much happier! hopefully you did

[Mostwantedrdr]

You should upgrade to a vxl and get a lipo. I had the XL but I upgraded and now mine goes like 50 mph faster. To find deals on traxxas parts and upgrades go on eBay!!!

[blakemaverick4]

jetsl77: if i weere u i wood get an upgraded motor and a 7 cell. i have one, and top speed i was hanging with the brushless slash..... and its 100$ cheaper

[jetisl77]

hi mate i have just ordered a Rustler XL can wait to get it. nice review made me wanna get it. i plan to upgrade to a vxl after that.

[turtle2448thomas]

it loooks like you live in florida

[callofduter5]

i have one that goes faster then this and its 4 years old

[ILikeFryz]

1:10 "ooh a duck " *rams into it * OUCH COME BACK HERE YOU ASSHOLE!

[ILikeFryz]

That car is pretty dang fast! I'm getting either this or a bandit, maybe bandit because I'm more of an offroad buggy guy so prob. bandit

[Dongskie2]

the tranny or gears sounds awful?

[Freetho1]

Look on my Page : TRAXXAS SLASH JUMPS!!! HIGH!

[hubbas12]

Ok first urbdoing like 25. And ur charger sucks. Get 5000 battery or go traxxas brushless and lipo like my truck. Go

[MurdaINCBaller]

lol its not a nitro you dont need to "warm it up" lol but great video. loved the duck part xD and that was not 40 mph. my slash can only do 24.2 (cloaked) with a 7cell and my rustler did about 7 more.

[PSPking1575]

@MurdaINCBaller I actually beg to differ; My Stampede with a 7 cell and 19 tooth pinion goes about 31 mph, so if the gearing on the Rustler is 23 T it could go about 35 a little more

[MurdaINCBaller]

@PSPking1575 true but i think its cause of my gearings. i never changed it.. too lazy :)

[PSPking1575]

@MurdaINCBaller lol that's the easy way

[MurdaINCBaller]

lol its not a nitro you dont need to "warm it up" lol but great video. loved the duck part xD

[hobbyrcislife]

fred try puting on a smaller pinion gear,

[INVISIBLE315]

cool)

[hockeydude5122]

lol the only reason i watched this vid is because i put a mamba monster in mine and a 6s lipo 22.2v haha mine used to have this same setup.

[conner28]

i like ice cream

[hubbas12]

MIne uswed to be brushed then i went brushless big money saver

[kyrkbymannen]

To reach 40 u need more power, I got a brushless vxl and it does not reach 40 "just like that" either.

[holywodlver]

u dont need to warm it up mine did wheelies out of the box

[traxxasmaxx33]

thats not 40 mph! its more like 25 mph, i know that because i running the same setup as you with the exact same battery and i clocked it on the gps doing 25 mph.

[BigFireworks1]

i love that car! i have it but i upgraded to a vxl...a LOT more power and a lot more fun. Nice Vid!!

[TheBigBoobsCompany]

Dude in the beginning i thought it was his top speed but when u did the speed run! DAMN! I want this truck! Everything on this thing is stock rite?

[mikeamerica0830]

I went on toysrus.com and a traxxas rustler was on it.

[xXShadowRejectsXx]

for an extra 80$ you coulda got vxl!! i love xl5 but vxl is better at speed, you still have this beast!?

[TheTraxxas33]

"oh wait lets do some off road"

[IKickedurassdontcry]

glad ur havin funn but at 2:26 That WAS SO NOT 40 mph because u have a xl5 and it is IMPOSSIBLE to hit 40 mph with a 7 cell

[atsirnoc310]

Nice vid! Subscribed liked and favorite!

[huttoerik]

can you run lipo in the xl-5?

[Jrye22]

@huttoerik no

[snakedude1997]

looks like arizona

[hockeydude5122]

lol the only reason i watched this is becasue i got the velineon system and a 3s lipo and i wanted to see how slow this thing was when i first got it

[Tripletbumfluff]

i got the slash xl-5 and its great with stock 7cell 3000mah battery but you hav to pretty much stop to tun uor it flips over and absolutely wrecks the shell when it scrapes the tarmac

[zotter7]

@Tripletbumfluff just get a wheelie bar

[butty41]

you know considering thats not a vxl its still pretty dam fast. good on traxxas

[oliver9briggs]

you look different to your voice... nice vid by the way :), i am getting a rustler xl-5 shipped right now :D. so excited!

[THERC4LIFE4444]

not 40 mph mate more like 30

[mynameisdanxyz123]

what is the difference between the rustler vxl and the xl5?

i wanna get into this stuff

[robbyadkins]

@mynameisdanxyz123 vxl meas brushless moter xl5 means brushed

[mynameisdanxyz123]

@robbyadkins yes thank you. back when i asked that i didnt have a clue...now i have myself a very nice rustler VXL and am happily modding :)

[zotter7]

@mynameisdanxyz123 vxl= brushless motor[goes faster, doesnt over heat, more expensive, doesnt need a break in porccess] xl-5=brushed motor[overheats, goes bout 35mph, less expensive, parts a cheaper. needs break in procces]

[hyperkiwi888]

cock



[jayflystorm1]

use a 5200 lipo lol it will get it i just bought my nephew one

[13STEIAU]

@fredhuerta1

if you have multiple batterys wait for the motor to cool down if you feel the back if is very hot also clean out the motor every time your done running it with like compressed air dont use anything damp

[Theslayervxl]

"'oh a duck" this was one of the funnest videos HAHHAHAHAHA omg that was SO funny

[oppisiteofafredfan]

how do you adjust the slippage?

[cmanclan101]

its weird to me that this is like the base model from traxxas now. Mine maxes at around 43mph and i get scared when going full throttle.. why would you need some of these cars that do 60-70 or more lol

[Pokkkie]

Your Titan 12t blows really fast because they are a very bad motor.

upgrade to brushelss and get a 5000 or better 2s lipo batt, I did it thru Hobbyking for 100$ on the motor/esc set and 24$ for a 5200 2s hardcase lipo on my bandit.

run times are near 50 min and its about 30% faster than stock. near 85kph.

[Pokkkie]

I tried the setup with 3s it was way way to stupid fast, impossible to control and would wheele at near any speed if I pulled the trigger just a smidge too fast. that is to say I managed to get it to 90% throttle and the last 10% was enough to flip it.

[nathan2000100]

wtf? 40 mph are you retared? you can do 40 with a brushless system but not with the xl5.

[oppisiteofafredfan]

@nathan2000100 actually I believe you are the retard for not being able to spell retard and the Brushed can do 40 with upgraded battery. so get your facts right before you post.

[201andrew]

@fredhureta1 this happens because titan motors suck, i have the stampede xl5 smae shit happened to me motor blown got to get a new one, u blown it cause u ran through a huge pound of water. u did not break in the motor and u go fast straight off all the time. that weakens it, and makes the motor fucked up,or u ran through sand and sand got in there and blew the motor. im switching to brushless so i rather do that and qiut buying new motors evry 2 months or so

[xXShadowRejectsXx]

my vxl was once a xl5, i went through 4 titan 12 turns before going vxl velineon, now ive never had an issue with anything. havent even broke a part yet, because alot of its flm lol

[play680]

hey i was wondering where adn how much the battery u were using was

[yamahamx1133]

GO RUSTLER!!!!!!!!

[RCbasher1243]

the 2nd week i got this truck the motor craped out and the tool they gave me stripped the little bar holding the pinion gear to the motor tht rlly pissed me off its still down my losi mini lst never had prombles like this :\ i thought traxxas was supposed to be good thts y i bought it cuz there in all the magazines and im dissapointed

[hockeydude5122]

@fredhuerta1 get a new motor they suck

[kwyjibosponge]

has your titan motor burned out yet......(it will eventually by the way)

[thejetsnix]

@kwyjibosponge mine burnt out after 3 weeks, and my dad calld traxxas to get the same motor for free (bcaus hees too cheap to get the vxl motor.....) :(

[rick130]

damn thats pretty quick for a stock 550 motor...make sure u watc the temperature on the motor...the 550 motors are known to burn out very easily....it shouldn't run anymore than 120 degrees

[savboss916]

you didnt do any upgrades on it to go any faster did you????? and does the 7 cell venom batterire make it go any faster????

thank you please respond

[abrahamtraxxas]

Your onyx charger can charge lipo????

[Turboman7i]

Man my rustler keeps blowing motors wats wrong with it please reply

[NITROrcKing007]

I bought my rustler for 180 bucks. my first electric!

[suhajda55]

Which one of these do you guys recommend better: Traxxas Rustler XL-5 or Losi Strike ?

I dont want to buy an expensive one as slash , i want something in this category. Later i'd like to upgrade my car with a lot stuff such as better tyres, better battery, better engine, etc. So which one is better?

[dkia09]

@suhajda55 hi i personally like the rustler there is lots of aftermarket parts and it doesent break and takes lots of abuse good luck

[Roelypopper]

Hey sparky0083,

I have the rustler too with a 7cell 8.4V 4000maH battery.

When i drive on hard surface or offroad, the titan 12t motor becomes really hot.

im using a 18t pinion and a 90t spur. I also use smaller wheels.

I thought this low gearing and smalller wheels would help but no, the motor is still very hot after a bash.

My motor is hot to the touch and can only be touched for 1-2 seconds. If i hold my finger on it longer it really hurts. Is this too hot or is this fine?

please answer.

[nick11695]

@Roelypopper I had the same problem with mine! Exept mine got so hot it de-soldered!

[bullsjewells24]

did you buy that battery online if so please give me a link

[turdxbeast]

is this all stock?

[erikfirooz]

is this the one for 180 dollars????

[TheGamerssss]

how long is it to charge the battery?

[smartalec1998]

i got a rustler xl-5 with a 7 cell venom battery 5000mah and a trinity p2k motor and it will scare the shit out of the neighborhood kids. if it had wings it would fly probably. but now i have problems with the transmission. i thing a gear is messed up or something. it is sealed up pretty tight so it will take a while to get to the problem

[262nik]

cool i got a rustler vxl

[sergioakaliltroll20s]

coldesac lol

[klpeekl2000]

Just bought a brand new XL-5 on craigslist for 85 bucks. :)

[whitestreefrogsrock]

u dont need to warm up a eletrice truck nice afro

[moore39735]

Will this truck take a 8 cell venom 4200 mah battery???

[sMg101101]

yup 8 cell is the limit

[sMg101101]

o and i think u need some extension thing.check the web im not sure

[EMPrcRacing]

Hmm looks pretty good for almost Stock.....Me and my team member Have traxxas Rustlers with 15 turns in them and they are fast

[xXShadowRejectsXx]

nice vid! the the xl5 is badass!

[freakstyle2030]

ok so i have this team assaited motor and with a 1500 mah battriey and my car goes 45 mph so if i put the 5500mah battrie in it it will easlygo bout 60 that is

REALLY FAST

[MrBigTubs]

"oh a duck" lol that was funny as hell

[Jay12Dog]

good job camra guy nice car 2

[samandmike911]

what is it geared to?

[deadeye120596]

how fast did it go with the stock battery...and how long did it take to charge with the included A C charger?

[deadeye120596]

how much did the stock truck cost

?????....please reply

[dicer1000]

200$

[toxicmeteor101]

im in Australia and mine cost me 300, the traxxas bandit is only 200, i got a refund coz the motor kept on blowing up, so i bought the vxl rustler, 75mph+, i recomend u get that if u are looking to buy a rc

[xXShadowRejectsXx]

@toxicmeteor101 same... been through 2 stock 12 turns... one even caught fire on the second day i had it 0.o traxxas must hate me for calling them asking for another XD one guy even said if i called again he'd come to my house and ask for proof XD!!!!!

[toxicmeteor101]

@xXShadowRejectsXx i went through five motors and mass hobbies(the shop i bought it from) said dont use it any more because mr traxxas ) the actuall creator of traxxas) is coming in to check stock so he is goin to look at my car lol

[xXShadowRejectsXx]

LOL

[fredhuerta1]

can anybody give me an advice of why my rustler blows the titan12t so quick? please reply thnx!

[MegaKevin96]

@fredhuerta1 it might be cuase your running too hard or too big of batteries. usually use 6 cell. but get a reedy i think 17t. you might want a new esc if you do but i havnt had any probs. if u use 7 cell you will do weelies and it will run bout 50mph.(i have my slipper clutch set a little low). eventually you will have to get new gears though(i got the ones for the rustler vxl) its fast as hell. but really look into it.

[MICHAELMART1987]

@fredhuerta1 ... What are you referring to? Have you blown your engine? You're not breaking it in properly or you can often blow it if you run up against something and full throttle where wheels can't turn or struggle turning. Also if you run in damp or dirty conditions be sure to clean your engine.

[MICHAELMART1987]

@fredhuerta1 ... What are you referring to? Have you blown your engine? You're not breaking it in properly or you can often blow it if you run up against something and full throttle where wheels can't turn or struggle turning. Also if you run in damp or dirty conditions be sure to clean your engine. Also don't throttle reverse to forward and try to pop wheelies

[xXShadowRejectsXx]

@fredhuerta1 12 turns arnt very good. go VXL :D

[vladsly]

@fredhuerta1 There might be a problem because it's over heating because you are running at top speed to much or maybe it's becuase it's not broken in well.

[asdijfa]

@fredhuerta1 it all depends on the settings that you have... how tight the slipper is, the gear mesh...

[BigFireworks1]

@fredhuerta1 Check your gears...if they are too tight then they will be running the motor to hard and blow it quicker.

[xlpMpxDeMoN]

@fredhuerta1 well it probaly wasnt broken in

[Tigerbarb202]

@fredhuerta1 just buy a speed gem
