The Traxxas Rustler HD XL-5 (TRX37254-8) sets the benchmark for tough, fast 2WD stadium trucks. Its low, wide stance delivers high-speed stability and agile reflexes, while factory-installed Extreme Heavy Duty components take durability to the next level for full-send sessions at the skate park or backyard bashing. With a blistering 35+ mph top speed and Ready-to-Race convenience, it’s built for dependable fun.
Rustler’s clipless body system uses heavy-duty hidden latches to keep the shell secure through rough running yet releases in seconds for fast battery swaps. Under the shell, a rugged fibre-composite chassis teams with oil-filled Ultra Shocks and the Heavy-Duty Magnum 272 metal-gear transmission to put power down smoothly and reliably.
Power comes from the Titan 12-turn 550 motor paired with the waterproof XL-5 electronic speed control featuring programmable drive profiles and thermal shutdown protection. A Traxxas Power Cell 8.4V 3000 mAh NiMH battery and 4-amp USB-C fast charger are included, using Traxxas iD technology for easy, safe charging. Power adapter and cable are sold separately (for maximum charge rate, use Traxxas 2912 power adapter and 2916 power cable).
