Clipless Body Mounting - Rustler's tough clipless body holds firm no matter how rough the action gets. Heavy-duty latches grip the body tightly, but release in just seconds to access the chassis. Rustler's hidden latching system replaces time-consuming and inconvenient body clips with large, reinforced panels to resist pull-through damage.

New TQi Sport Transmitter - The TQi Sport transmitter packs the range and performance of the TQi into a compact design for maximum comfort and portability. The ergonomic grip features a removable adapter to accommodate smaller hands and simple one-button programming for ease-of-use. A class-leading high-output 2.4GHz signal delivers the outstanding range and glitch-free performance required by Rustler's blistering speed.

Traxxas Stability Management - Traxxas Stability Management (TSM) works behind the scenes to harness Rustler's extreme 3s brushless horsepower. TSM maximizes acceleration and braking by keeping Rustler arrow straight without pulling power or dulling throttle response, even on low-traction surfaces. TSM can also be switched off directly from the TQi Sport transmitter.

New Sledgehammer ST Tires - Rustler puts the power to the ground thanks to the outstanding grip of its new high-performance Sledgehammer ST tires. The rear tires' open-block tread design clears away mud and debris for unrivaled traction on loose surfaces. Rustler's front tires feature deep concentric rings and wide tread blocks that combine all the off-road benefits of a ribbed tire with the grip of a street tire. Tough 2.8" RXT 6-spoke black wheels give Rustler a powerful stance.

High-Performance Chassis - A high-performance chassis positions rustler's weight down low for agile handling and sharp reflexes. A new carbon-look chassis molded in dark gray composite combines lightweight strength with a modern high-tech appearance. An integrated receiver box saves weight and adds structural rigidity while a new battery strap blends rigid strength with clip-free convenience.

Wheelie Bar - A wheelie bar is an absolute necessity for a vehicle with the out-of-the-box 60+ mph speed and wheel-standing torque of Rustler 2WD Brushless. The wheelie bar is positioned perfectly to allow massive wheelies while keeping Rustler under your control. an integrated carry handle allows quick and easy transport to your next adventure.

Extreme HD Driveshafts - Rustler's Extreme HD driveshafts are beefed up in critical areas to handle the outrageous power of the Velineon 3s brushless power system. The large-diameter half shafts offer excellent articulation and suspension travel while putting massive torque to the ground.

Velineon V3200 Motor - Designed for 3-cell LiPo batteries, the V3200 motor is optimized for extreme power and efficiency with a large 5mm output shaft. Ultra-high temperature sintered Neodymium magnets provide massive torque and linear power. The unique low-maintenance design features high-speed ball bearings and an integrated cooling fan for consistent power, run after run.

VX3 Electronic Speed Control - The fully waterproof VX3 ESC transforms 11.1 volts of LiPo power into 60+ mph performance with the simplicity of Traxxas' EZ-Set one-button programming. A large aluminum heat sink with cooling fan keeps temperatures down for longer run times. The VX3 comes loaded with high-tech features like race-inspired High-Resolution Linear Braking and real-time telemetry via Traxxas Link (requires TQi transmitter with installed wireless module).

3-Channel TQi Sport Receiver - The TQi Sport receiver is compatible with all TQi and TQi Sport transmitters. A built-in failsafe returns the throttle to neutral and holds the steering in the last known position in the event of a signal loss.

Waterproof Electronics - Your RC experience should be filled with fun and adventure, not limited by the electronics. Rustler's new receiver box is molded into the chassis for increased strength. A patented O-ring seal keeps water out, giving you the freedom to live out your wildest adventures, regardless of the weather.

Clipless Battery Strap - Rustler holds batteries securely in place with the convenience of a rugged clipless battery strap. Swing the heavy-duty strap up and out of the way to swap batteries. Once loaded, just snap the tab into the latch and your battery stays secure until you release it.

Metal Gear Servo - Rustler features a new metal-gear servo with 15% more torque than the standard servo and the durability of an all-metal gear train. The new servo delivers quick, precise control with the security and convenience of fully waterproof construction.

Bellcrank Steering - Rustler's high-performance bellcrank steering system nearly eliminates bump steer for precise wheel placement and increased cornering stability. A cam-operated servo saver increases steering precision while protecting the servo against impacts.

Heavy Duty Suspension Arms - Rustler's heavy duty suspension arms are molded in a new high-tech gray color from our toughest composite material to provide just the right amount of flex to resist breaking. These suspension arms stand up to even the most punishing drivers for non-stop action.

Reinforced Show Towers - Rustler's shock towers feature structural reinforcement bracing to minimize flex and provide a rigid mounting point for the body. Reducing flex allows the suspension to soak up bumps without upsetting the chassis for a smooth and controlled ride.

Steel Front Tie Bar - A steel front tie bar provides additional strength to keep the suspension in perfect alignment and protect against impacts.

Hex Hardware - Rustler's hex-drive hardware provides a more positive and secure connection than other fasteners. The black-oxide coating provides a rust resistant high-tech look and feel.

LED-Ready Front Bumper - Rustler's rugged tube-style front bumper helps ward off crash damage to protect the chassis. The bumper also features bosses to mount accessory LED lights, parts 3791 & 2263 (sold separately).

Durable One-Piece Camber Links - Durable one-piece camber links are perfect for bashing because they maintain proper suspension geometry and never require adjustments. Captured rod ends provide unmatched durability and they won't pop off.

Extreme HD Components - Engineered for maximum strength, Extreme Heavy-Duty components fortify Rustler with a full complement of suspension upgrades designed to work together as a complete package. Rustler sets a new standard for durability at skate parks, racetracks, and backyards.

Metal Gear Magnum Transmission - The Magnum 272 transmission features all metal gear internals riding on ultra-smooth sealed ball bearings. The sealed gearbox protects the transmission components from dirt and rocks.

32-Pitch Gearing - Rustler is built for extreme power with a 5mm motor output shaft and 32-pitch pinion and spur gears. Nearly 1.5x larger than standard 48-pitch gears, Rustler's 32-pitch gears deliver maximum durability with reliable, long-lasting prformance.

Torque-Control Slipper Clutch - The Torque-Control slipper clutch uses special semi-metallic friction material and finned aluminum alloy pressure plates to dissipate heat and provide consistent traction control. Spur gears can be removed and replaced without altering the slipper adjustment.

Rubber-Sealed Ball Bearings - Rubber-sealed bearings offer the ultimate in super low-friction performance and maximum protection in dusty environments. They are used in all exposed locations on the truck and are virtually maintenance free.

Planetary Gear Differential - The composite planetary gear differential features a steel ring gear for long life. It uses hardened steel internal gears for maximum strength during rigorous off-road bashing. This type of differential requires virtually no maintenance, and its efficient design puts maximum tire-shredding torque to the wheels.
