Traxxas was started in 1986 with an idea for what was at that time an entirely new concept for a fully assembled, hobby-class R/C car. This new car would have all the same benefits of a hobby-class kit such as replaceable parts, hop-ups, and a high-quality component radio system, however it would be fully assembled with a colorful body, right out of the box. Traxxas coined the term “Ready-To-Run” (RTR) to describe this new class. Since a fully assembled, ready-to-run car would appeal to the entry-level beginner, a toll-free customer support line was set up from day one to service an entirely new category of hobby consumer. At first, acceptance of the RTR concept was slow because traditional R/C kits had always been unassembled. Once people realized that a Traxxas RTR had the same performance and quality as the traditional R/C kits, only that they didn’t have to build it, the ready-to-run Cat was a runaway hit! A kit version would still be offered for those who still wanted to have the building experience. Over the next few years, Traxxas’ electric RTR models continued to grow in features and performance. Models such as the Hawk and Radicator incorporated the handling, driveline and suspension geometry developed by a highly successful racing program. Traxxas won many national and regional off-road championships and then offered kit versions of those winning cars as models such as the TRX-1 buggy, Blue Eagle racing truck, TCP buggy, and the SRT racing truck. TCPs and SRTs …
Watch the traxxas nitro rustler gets a hell of crashes
@coolmanzise there both stadium trucks ???
is this rustler got anything to doo whit the xtm xcellerator they look allmost the same , i do like this nitro rustler i got one xtm xcellerator and runs so cool
i just got one. its awsome!
i have many nitro r/c cars but i still think the 2.5 rustler was the best stadium truck ever made by traxxas. very simple design. outstanding power to weight ratio.
@NinjaBladeNeil lol
@aliastimmy2k5 Just nail the jump, if the nose drops hit the throttle, if the tail drops hit the brake/reverse. the torque will level the car.
@aliastimmy2k5 just get some wood and put a piece of plywood on top and jump it remember u are gonna break it its just how there built theres alwaus gonna b a replacement part so go at it and jump it
I just got into this hobby. I have always be around electric rc and I mean those ones you buy at Sams Club.. haha. I just got a Nitro Sport and it is so much fun. I would love to know how to safely jump it. For my thrill I don’t need a 20 foot aerial.. just a few feet would make me smile haha. Any tips?
you guys are fucking stupid, if you dont know how to drive a truck, you have no reason to own one. I hope it jumps and smokes you in the head and kills you.
the rustler is hard to control so back off, man
I agree learn to drive!!!!!! My blind brother coulda hit that jump…. Cruise towards the jump at a constant medium speed then open it up full throttle at the base of the jump better control in the air and you wont miss the jump…
im not trying to be a dick but this kid suck
That thing is slow.
should probley learn how too drive it first.
music?
There the same size just different power the 2.5 is good but if you want speed go picco or os .18 which is an 3.3 size .15 is 2.5
How does the .15 engine compared to the 2.5? Is it considerably slower, really easier to tune?
my shock tower snapped
@720moorhsum gotta tap the brakes! DONT HOLD IT! or it will do a major nose dive!
how do you do the drill start?
i tried to launch mine off of a 10 foot skate ramp, it landed rear wheels first and broke an axel lol
wut r u runnin
nah, the screws are fine, but i am using one of my dad’s old motors that he had many years ago
Really? Maybe your motor screws are stripped, what kind of motor are you using? Mine only moves when I really torture it, and that’s rarely.
really? ive got an old e rusty and everytime i jump it the motor is knocked out of place, the mount is shit
Well. In a crash with my freinds rustler i broke his camber link XD.
He also broka his bulkhead and that part that the rear axle goes trough. Plastick torn there.
Yeah, the E- Rusty ones don’t break, except the body mount hole occasionally. My E- Rusty is almost indestructible, so fun XD
Lol.
Got a E.rustler. Never seen one fail of them
Really? Shock towers break pretty easily on almost every vehicle, it’s a weak point like A arms.
