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 …

Traxxas Rustler with Mamba Max 5700 and MaxAmps 11.1v 5000mah LiPo. Better than the new VLX Piece Of S**t. 55-60mph in Iraq!

Is this version of the Rustler comparable with the titan 12t motor?
LOL its that old it had a rotary speed control stock
lol!!!!
It’s called a mechanical speed control or rotary speed control! i had one before in my bandit
yahh im going to have to agree with lastpally on this one.
lets try to keep the profanity to a minimum guys
No, it’s called a mechanical speed control( or rotary speed control). The XL-5 is a digital proportional electronic speed control. So before you get ahead get your facts straight.
no its not actually idoit
your a noob i had the one that has a server under it. it gave the motor full forward or full reverse. it was not a speed contoller in any such way cuz it was full or nothing
@staticxmako dude, it’s called a speed control
i still have this lol
exact one
just trashed the forward and reversing servo and put a xl5 in
why it looks like the tires get bigger and bigger at 0:42
what tires are you using
The Velineon is actually the best setup out there for 1/10th trucks, in my opinion waterproof, can run 3s lipos. And is hella fast. My co worker has had all kinds of problems with his mamba sidewinder and mamba max, my other friend burned up a novak brushless motor(2s lipo). My boss and I have have the vxl-3s and velineon motor for a while and no problems at all.
@yoyoitsmario 7700 is only for 2s lipo
how did you get the pinion to stay on the mamba?
the shaft is kinda short and mine keeps flying off. i tried using loctite and putting it really tight but it still keeps coming off.
Glad to see my US tax dollars put to good use. =P
i love having a brushless motor on my rustler and go to the dirt track and listen to the nitro cars there and there like zzzzzzzzz and mine is flogging them and mines just like ssssssss!
Who made your intro animation?
i thought that thing smoked the wall at 1:56
love the sound effects
thats one badass truck
at the begging he expands tire and if u freewheel it motor will blow up.
lol for the motor? and if the tyros blow up?
dude you left the dust in the dust
what kv was it
that would be so cool to drive it from the offroad view it would just be so awesome.
0:39-0:44 do not try 2 expand tires cuz its bad for the engine nice car tho and u got hairy legs bla!
The solidus have to have some fun now and again right?
1:55 WTF!!?
nice rustler it kicks ass..good job!!
at 1:55 i thought it hitted that red things real hard. but actually it survived
my 7700 in my b3 does 108mph(had my uncle use his radar gun he is C.H.P.) and it still will spin the tires at a dead stop on asphalt and wheelies on command. i wouldn’t have it any other way. nice rusty man. soon i hope mine is that sick.
Where did you get this Youtube introduction from?, I like it
is the mamba max worth the money n is it eay to program
thats y u should put a 4600v in the rustler, but i am happy with my vxl
And speed, if you compare it to the VXL. The velineon has out did it self. On touring cars , you can get 90 with a bit gearing etc.
It is also MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE THAN Velineon
