  • Thank you for clearing that up the speed issue up :). Boxes can read one thing, but DO another.

  • Great Video , TKS !

  • make a video like this for the e revo mini

  • i have a rustler vxl for sale it has rpm f/r a arms $20/rpm front bumper $8 all rpm stuff is in blue/ mip axles $60/ trx aluminum rear hub carrier $20/ trx aluminum caster block $20/trx steering block aluminum $20/ all the aluminum is blue / trx bigbore shocks f/r $55/ proline trencher tires on desperado rims f/r $70 thats almost 250 in aftermarket parts $300 obo and will throw in a dynamite lipo 2s 30c 6000mah barely used if the price is right

  • Does it come with a wheelie bar?

  • i wana hit 75!

  • mine can do 73 stock :)

  • y is the wheel getting bigger...?

  • @MaesTr01000 it goes so fast that the wheels warp

  • @XxSwiFTxftw exspand*

  • dude you know  with a 8000 MAH you can go 70 and faster right?

  • I have one of those with a MMP esc and a 4600 kv castle motor. on 3S its just insane it will wheelie if you floor it at even if you are already at 3/4 throttle. the motor is so powerful i had to use 32 pitch gears (12t pinion (emaxx))and a 52t spur (from a Jato)). its a really fun truck =D

  • i drove my rustler in ice. p.s. i do not have full water proof. i all so tested my new rc parts with lipo. not my battery i have one battery it is a 6 cell. i have a brushed

  • how fast is a brushed motor with a lipo

  • can u have a lipo on a brushed? i got a rustler brushed motor.

  • @drayclay1000 if your ESC supports it than yes just make sure you don't go with a lipo that has a higher voltage than your ESC can handle. If your ESC has a low voltage cutoff then you should be fine. if not then get an alarm or a low voltage cutoff

  • hey jetlagg check my rustler out !!! -_- !! 

  • That thing was soo fast, and my rustler only goes 35 mph!

  • @TheJasonwootten Because you need a bigger battery i hope that helps you understand

  • I have managed to run mine full throttle with 34/76 gearing on 3s lipo once next to a runway at an aerport. I had Anaconda tires on it as I don't think the stock tires are safe at that speed. I also added a downforce wing to the front to hold the front end down. That was the only way to keep it from flying at over 70mph. My esc blew a few months ago so I replaced it with a 100 amp esc. Will be enstalling a 2150kv. 4074 motor. Can't wait to try it with 3.46 horse power under the hood.

  • WithTalon or the stock tires this truck becomes very unstable at those speeds. What you need are the Anaconda tires. They won't baloon as much so you may want to put a 33 or 34 tooth pinion instead of the 31 tooth as the tire diameter will be smaller due to less ballooning. You can also run the lower gearing with the lipos you just don't want to use the higher gearing with the nimh batteries. I am rinning 23/83 gearing with my 3s lipo and Talon tires for running in grass.

  • how long do the lipo batterys last

  • Is the rustler faster than the jato?

  • I don't have the VXL but I upgraded to the Velineon 3500. I have tallon tires to keep mine on the ground. I am saving up for lipo's too. The one thing I have noticed is you have to check the screws before every run. I had my suspension get caught on a tie rod and it was a good half hour before I got it back in the right shape. I do think this car is invincible though, the only replacements for it where the new motor and ESC

  • More like can it really go 65 with the esc. lmao!

  • where did you get the gpsx

  • The GPS probably weighed it down a bit.

  • Nice wrk man, but kick that stock motor in the guts come over and build a mamba rustler and youl love it even more

  • hay thefluffyvanquisher yes it does

  • does the MAH has anything to do with the speed of the Rustler?

  • I have one of those But with a Mamba Max Pro (4600kv). On 3s it can almost do standing back-flips! and i have the clutch loosened 1/2 turn

  • i have a rustler vxl i do not have the stock motor this movie makes me want the stock motor now. DRIVE ON DUDE!

  • Ya know you did have the extra weight of the gps on there too.

  • I freaking love Traxxas

  • nice vid......i was thinking bout getting one these...maybe brushless.....how much them batteries cost?

  • @mindblown76 Ik your not asking me but... 1 Get Brushless... the brushed one SUCKS!... and a good 3s lipo would be like 80 - 110 dollars they can go up to like 500

    good luck... rustler rules! brushless!

  • Can you do a video about the new Traxxas Lipo Batteries with the Rustler VXL?

  • Nice video. My Rustler VXL has been sitting with a broken shock for over a year. I think I'll fix it and get it back out. I forgot how fun it was to drive.

  • NIce video you are great much questions are away =D

    thx

  • lol i just like how you put the warning plain & simple: "If you don't charge 'em right, they'll burn down your house!"

  • get a wheelie bar

  • "lipos are interesting in that if you dont charge them right they'll burn down your house" ahh life experience...

  • have you had any esc issues in the past couple years? as far as overhaeting goes

  • hay want to race the rc you have in this movie?!!

  • Lipo if you dont try to burn down your house :D Bte i am looking for a good grawler not ot expensive cud U peease give me a tip :D

  • Nice

  • hey im looking into buying the electric Rustler VXL Brushless RTR and i was wondering what i need to do to make it go FAST. do i NEED to buy the gears if i buy the 11.1v battery, plesae just explain, either in a message or here doesnt matter just please.

    thanks bro

  • wat happens if you dont change it

  • i have this same car but mine came with the 7 cell battery how much did it cost for the battery and the gearing?

  • @MaTT22296 The gears are cheap to get. But a good LiPo battery will run you $50-$80. Don't buy a cheap LiPo, spend the extra money and get a quality battery that will last and put out the power it says it will.

  • @DanSVT03 do you need to change the gears or can you just get a lipo battery

  • Can somebody please tell me how to keep my bandit going up and wheelieing im trying to do speed runs but omg... lol so powerful. ??? I'm using a 11.1v lipo 30c and i know weights but were do i buy them and like how do i attach them?

  • Does any one know a good 3s lipo and charger for a rustler vxl for a good price?

  • @00through09

    Check out hobby city, its a great place, just browse around it you'll find good batts and chargers

  • @surjtheone u can buy them from your local hobby store or ebay.

  • how do you do a wheelie?

  • pull the trigger. :))

  • Comment removed

  • all it does is go forward

  • @jetlag2222 do you know how to offically reply to someone because you didnt here

  • @jetlag2222 Would adding some weight to the front help without hurting performance?

  • @vLeGeNdS1 Trust me, if you go with this set up, you're going to have a hard time NOT doing wheelies!

  • hey have any rc cars up for trade? i have a hpi racing firestorm up for grabs it runs great but the pull starter is stuck

  • I like the video on the rustler and 65+ MPH, good info what music is playing in the background?

  • mine averages tha same around 60 it helps to get a wheelie bar

  • mine averages 60mph

  • Hey @DanSVT03, my rustler vxl has the 31/76 gearing in it... im not using a lipo but i am using a very powerful 5100 mah 8.4v 7 cell battery. Is this still dangerous to the motor/esc (over-heating?)

  • @happypiproductions I'm not exactly sure, but the Rustler manual says the battery should be able to supply the speed controller with 70 amps, or something to that nature. I know there is also a chart in the owners manual for gear ratios, and it specifically says to only use LiPo batteries with 31/76 gears, and not the 7 cells.

    Trust me man, go get a 3s 11.1 volt LiPo and give it a run. The car is silly fast with it.

  • is it okay to put 31/76 gearing if u dont got the lipo. will it fry engine/esc?

  • @TraxxasRustler97 No, you don't want to run those gears on the stock battery. You'll overheat the speed controller & motor. You CAN run a LiPo battery with the stock gears, but not the other way around.

  • Bought my dad a VXL Rustler two weeks ago for his birthday. Right out of the box, this car is really fast. I was so impressed with it that I bought one for myself yesterday along with a 3200mah 3s 25c LiPo battery and the 31/76 gears like the one in your video.

    Ok... I thought the stock one was fast... This thing has so much power that it will wheelie and flip itself over from a 45+ mph roll! I should have bought a wheelie bar! This thing is STUPID fast with a Lipo battery & gears!

  • love that warning at @2:08

  • i have a 4000mah and 11.1 it zooms past that speed idk why but yea should i get a max amps

  • ey amigo..espero y me entiendas tengo este carro VXL RUSTLER...y en comprado tres pilas NIMH y c calientan mucho y ya no sirven y quisira saber porque pasa eso .?  please help

  • I just bought my dad a VXL Rustler and it hauls! I definitely am buying one now, and I would like to go with the same set up you have. Can you reccomend a good charger for the lipo batteries?

  • The rustler deffinatly!!!!!!

  • nice review - i need help on what truck to buy - RUSTLER VXL or E REVO VXL

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • From my experience the rustler is really fast with a lipo 11.1 but speaking truthfully as a Rusty owner...it's made out of glass. the thing is so fragile it's hard to eally enjoy it.

  • hmm putting chargers on the fireplace. smart:)

  • 4:49 Australian sheperd?

  • best review i ever seen here on youtube thank you i learn a lot.

  • hey man can you PM me with the battery and charger info? PLEASE Im sooooo lost :( i need help with bashing batterys and speed run battterys, i would love 30 + mins of run time to, or anyone else who wants to help a lost soul lol would be much appreciated

  • @tenactitans just get a high mah lipo battery with a good charger i remomend tenergy

  • This Is sick... I will be getting me and my kiddo each one in less than a month... Thanks for the video its nice to have someone confirm what it can do. Anyone out there have a clue as to what kind of speed the regular Rustler XL-5 does? Im thinking of starting him on that one...Me on the VXL :)

  • This truck is badass man, how is the motor temp after a run on 2s 5000mah on a hot summer day ?

  • how do u afford all the rc cars~!

  • @TRAININGFLAME it's called money!

  • @TRAININGFLAME because he obviously didnt spend that money on his house......

  • @TRAININGFLAME its called a job?

  • @TRAININGFLAME ... a job?

  • sik what was the foam on the car for

  • you haven t opened yet that revo

  • is it recomended to change the gearing for a 7.4v lipo if so what?

  • I have a normal electric stampede and im upgrading to a velineon brushless motor and a better battery. Where do u get the LiPo batteries? Please reply.

  • Check out my rustler vxl double backflip vid!!!!!!!!

  • i got this y corre muy bien pero lo q falta es terreno para correrlo gooodddddddddddddddddd

  • put a weelie car on it and a 8000 mah lipo 3s and it hals butt. put different gearing and loose the foam that u have for the lipo cause if u run lipo its fine i run lipo on my xl5 rustler with 550 titan motor and it hals too. also i have put in a 18 t motor in a 13t radon and it gave me mor speed and less power. i the went agianst a brushless velineion 3s 8000mah lipo 2wd traxxas slash and i caught up with it. so i recomend a different lipo maybe a 3s 8000mah hard pack lipo

  • I have a rc10t3 and it will run 43 with stock gearing 3300kv Reedy brushless with stampede wheels and a 4200 mah battery. i think if i step up to a lipo and change the gearing i could keep up with a rustler vxl

  • Gotta love learning something and fast RC cars all in one video :)

  • Ive got a 3.3 t-maxx and that was fun for a while , but then i got a Rustler vxl , 10,000 times more fun

    im also running the 31T Pinion & 76T Spur , with a 3000mah lipo , and ive found that securing an average sized pair of pliers in the front keeps the nose down and im able to go full throttle , but doing wheelies all day is fun too , also the worn out anaconda tyres on the rear are still grippy but are also awesome for doing a couple 360's

    ill post up a video of me destroying my gearbox

  • hi, im 12, i have 1/16 e revo vxl, i love it, i only run on nimh, im thinking about getting lipo batterys soon, also i would like to know if the rustler vxl is a good buy? because i might be asking for it for my upcoming birthday and i was wondering if it was REALLY worth it? im also nervous about those lipo batterys, they scare me haha, please let me know about your opinion.

  • holy man you are lucky with does cars and dude amazing video

  • holy man you are lucky with does cars and dude amazing videos

  • awsome i just got mine done today i had a x l5 that i converted to a vxl i had to get a wheelie bar its so awsome

  • i have one and its fast

  • How tight does the slipper clutch have to be?

  • Heey Jetlagg! i wanna thank u alot because that battery saved me a shit ton! i searched up the same batt and on HK its only 28$! thanks alot man, and how did u keep urs so planted to the ground?! i cant even go half throttle without wheelies!!

  • do you have a tmaxx 3.3?

  • nice vid i am a superfan how do you get cool covers for the rustler mine is cracked thanks

  • Dude...awesome video!!!  That was CRAZY when the wheel was ballooning!

  • why you didnt did the speed run at the same place you did the beggining of the vids?

  • im getting one and i want to know how long a 6 cell battery will last with that car??

  • @store245 Depends on the MaH, the 7 cell that comes with the car will last about 15 minutes all out, 20 on and off.

  • Rustler vxl or normal rustler my next door neighbour has one and he says i should get one but i dont have all the money for vxl so normal or vxl?

  • Good stuff Jetlag! i have a ruslter vxl and had it for about a year now but i ran a big 2s most of the time ive had it, and i placed an order on a 3s but i ran 28/76 with a 2s and it got sooo freakin how, like the motor and esc, did yours get very hot with a 3s? ir does it help it:?? good video man!

  • you should do mor rustler vxl vids and great video

  • Comment removed

  • @XXXDusthatassXXX yes the MAH does affect it. a higher MAH can put out more amps.

  • yes that is correct. The mah affects the total number of amps available. So a 3S 20C 1000mah battery will only put out 20 amps, as opposed to a 3S 20C 5000mah battery which will put out 100 amps. So this definitely affects the overall performance and speed.

  • geez man! dont hold your wrist so close to the ballooning tire! ive seen a guy do this and the tire blows out. it did some damage to his hand.

  • yo im digging the unopend revo in the vid :D hahahaha just showws ur a real rc guy !! (:

  • Definitely need to add weights to my VXL. I had it hydroplane in the strong winds today and almost go into the pond at the end of my street. Scary fast to drive. Any other handling upgrades?

  • dude i love your vids. there awesome. i have a question though. well a few actually. first off how did you keep your front end down? 2nd is i have a 3s lipo too but my battery wont fit in there bc the cords are to the side of the battery. how did you get yours to fit? thanks. i subbed

  • @lacucaracha111111 yes it is I just got one and I have driven it in snow and it has been wet everywhere it could have.

  • what exact battery did u use for the rustler

    ??? exstrmely interested. plz reply

  • the box is saying its waterproof

    is it waterproof or is it not waterproof ?

  • Hey does anyone know where I can get weights for my rustler to keep the wheelies down?

  • did you put any weights on it to keep it from doing wheelies?

  • i have the original rustler xl-5 with velineon system with 5000mah 11.1v lipo battery and yea its totally uncontrollable..I have got 600 inveseted in it.

  • what type of lipo battery are u using

  • what type of lipo battery are u using

  • i have one of these.. you absolutely need a wheely bar haha

  • hey i am new to lipo batterys and i have a rustler vxl so i was just wanted to know what u think would be a good lipo or what kind u used in urs.....thx

  • what lipo battery do u use in the rustler in this video

  • Is the rustler vxl worth it compared to the rustler?

  • i used street tires(anaconda)with mine and i went 5mph faster :) and nice video

  • Cool video!!! I just bought one of these rustlers and it is really fast :D

    I just love it.

    Cheers Alex (Europe)

  • awesome video man

  • At 0:11-2:45 I see your e revo but I see another e revo box right still wrapped in the plastic wrapping next to it! Correct me if its your mini e revo box but I dont see mini on it!

  • awesome vid! im asking 4 one of these 4 xmas.

  • why you putted white thing on ur lipo?

  • what gets me is those number claims on the box wont tell you how fast with the 7 cell 8.4v 3000mah they give you. do you know if you have to swap gears every time you use a lipo?

  • getting this for x-mas!!!!!!!!!!!! yayyyyy

  • ya put weights on the front, and it will do the perfect wheelie!!!put about 6 of them(they are little square weights that you can get at a hobby store)

  • my rustler vxl.. has a problem as soon as i turn on the car it goes nuts and starts running full speed and i dont even touch the throttle.... any suggetions on whats wrong?

  • @CAWproductions24 open your owner manuel and reset ur ESC

  • @CAWproductions24 If you havent solved your problem yet then here are a few suggestions: turn your throttle trim all the way back as far as it will go and also make sure your esc isnt fried both of those could be the problem.

  • HOLY SHIZZZZZ

  • nice vid

  • christmas is right around the corner......

  • very nice vid!

  • Great video man! Fun to watch

  • Hey would you take this car or an hpi e firestorm 10t flux witch us faster and better

  • I got a 23/86 and a velineon brushless system and i also got a 7cell NiMh 8.4 battery but it still goes the same speed as my old engine

  • @markdelcastillo1 on my slash 

  • Bad ass. I'm building one. What SW do you use to make your videos.

  • Thanks dude! I use Sony Vegas Pro 9 for all these videos.

  • @jetlag2222 Hey man very nice truck i was just wondering how much did this rustler cost?

  • @jetlag2222 Any chance you could do a small Vegas Pro tutorial? :)

  • HOW ARE YOUR TIRES NOT BALD YET?! I'm running all stock and my tires are GONE.

  • i bought my rustler vxl not to long ago but i have an 11.1v 8000mah battery and i was thinking yours can go 65mph with 5000mah im guessing 8000mah would even be better...also almost every single car u bought and did a review i bought it as well you havent let me down yet you make the best reviews...

  • HELLOZ JETLAG!!! hehe caps ftw!!! just wondering if you got and nimh batteries you got extra to sell :D

  • hi jetlag, just wonderin, if my rustler vxl is making a kind've sqeaky sound coming from around the motor. it seems to run fine, but it makes that sound when you run it. U make great vids! keep em coming!

  • this was a really enjoyable video. great job.
