Drive the Rustler where you want, when you want - the only limit is your imagination.
Modular Simplicity
Old designs made servicing of 4-wheel drive vehicles cumbersome and time-consuming. Traxxas has a better way. Modular design allows the entire front section to be removed with just 5 screws, and the rear assembly with just 4 screws. In less than a minute using a power screwdriver, you have full access for easy service and adjustment.
Precision 2.4GHz Control
Switch on the power and drive! That's all there is to it with the TQ 2.4GHz radio system. There are no frequencies to manage, so the focus is on having fun. Race multiple vehicles side by side without interference. The TQ's advanced programming provides long-range control with smooth, glitch-free performance. The TQ's ergonomic design is comfortable for all day driving with an internal antenna that is impervious to damage.
Traxxas 4-amp DC Peak Detecting Fast Charger
Rustler 4X4 includes a 4-amp peak detecting charger for quick, convenient, hassle-free charging. The charger uses a 12-Volt DC power outlet for charging charging in the field. The brilliant LED provides charging status while the battery charges. The peak-detecting charger is optimized for charging Traxxas Power Cell NiMH battery packs. Just plug the included Power Cell battery in for a perfect charge, run after run.

Tough reinforced bumpers protect the chassis against impacts. The specially designed front bumper provides a high approach angle that allows the Rustler to climb up and over obstacles with ease. The rear bumper easily accepts a wheelie bar to keep the Rustler's explosive power under control.
2.8" Black Wheels with Talon EXT Tires
The Rustler's large 2.8" black wheels provide terrain-conquering ground clearance and a commanding presence. Aggressive Talon EXT tires dig into dirt and grass for outstanding 4X4 traction. The EXT's tire compound provides extra durability on pavement with a unique design that resists "ballooning" at high speeds.
Oil-Filled Ultra Shocks
The Rustler's oil-filled Ultra Shocks utilize X-ring technology for a perfect seal and super-smooth performance. They are fully tunable with a wide range of oils, springs, and pistons. Features include pressure bladders for air/oil separation and spring clips to precisely change the ride height and spring pre-load. They can be renewed in minutes with our inexpensive rebuild kits.
Heavy-Duty Driveshafts
Rustler 4X4 uses the same telescoping universal-joint driveshafts as the high-performance Rustler 4X4 VXL. Designed for increased strength and articulation, Traxxas U-joint driveshafts allow for maximum suspension movement resulting in longer travel and tighter turning.
Sealed Steel-Gear Differentials
Rustler 4X4's differentials represent the state of the art in power handling and efficiency. Steel gears in the differentials are ready to handle brushless power without costly upgrades. Precision silicone gaskets and X-ring seals allow the diffs to be tuned for specific running conditions by varying the viscosity of the fluid inside them. Differential access for tuning is quick and easy. Just remove the front or rear cover and the entire differential slides right out.
Optimum-Geometry Steering with Integrated Servo Saver
No part of the Rustler 4X4 was overlooked in the quest for durability, precision, and performance. The dual-bellcrank design pivots smoothly in the harshest conditions, and an integrated cam-type servo saver protects the servo gears from crash impacts without sacrificing steering precision.
Heavy-Duty 32-Pitch Gears
Extreme brushless horsepower is never an afterthought at Traxxas. The Rustler 4X4 driveline is built to handle power for today and accommodate future power upgrades down the road. The spur gear features rugged 0.8 module/32-pitch teeth for total reliability no matter how much power you pour on.
Torque-Control Slipper Clutch
Another Traxxas exclusive, Rustler 4X4's patented slipper clutch design uses special semi-metallic friction material and finned aluminum alloy pressure plates to dissipate heat and provide consistent traction control. The clutch is easily adjusted without disassembly or removal.
Rugged Battery Hold-Down
The Rustler's innovative battery hold-down features a beefed-up latch for solid locking action to keep batteries secure no matter how wild the action gets.
Functional Rear Wing
The functional rear wing reduces drag while still providing valuable downforce for high speed stability. The wing mounts directly to the internal body reinforcements for lasting durability.
Secure Body Latch
Rustler's clipless ProGraphix body mounts on specially designed shock towers. The easy-to-use latch unlocks instantly with the quick swipe of a thumb and locks again with a noticeable detent to let you know it's securely fastened.
Clipless ProGraphix Body
