MUST HAVE UPGRADE !! Get the DumboRC Transmitter & Reciever!! Its got way more distance the the Traxxas Transmitters an also the receivers are only $20CAD roughly and the entire transmitter & reciever shipped to my door was $67 !! So happy with this upgrade it's a must have try it and I bet switch every car to it !!
Agreed. I have a gps on mine. With the 17 tooth 19 and 20 tooth all max speed ive hit was 60mph. Soo i ended up putting the 17t on aince the higher toothed pinions didnt make a difference other then make my esc over heat more
Alot!!! The car doesn't look like that now, I turned it into a no prep drag car, it has a chassis extension, upgraded transmission, drag tires, tuned suspension, a monster 31 tooth pinion, a proline super J body, and a drag wheelie bar.
Thank you!! The bumper is a slash 4x4 RPM bumper, and I got it from Amazon. When you put it on, be sure to use the bumper and the piece that connects to the bumper and connect that piece to the rustler; the other piece won't fit on the rustler.

I use a wheelie bar to prevent the front of the car from going up during speed runs. If the front stays down, the car will go faster. 🏎🏎🏎 Then during off road bashing, you can hit some sick wheelies. 🏎🏎🏎
@@RC_Racer because I have the xl-5 and I use it in a small backyard and at a park, highest it's gone is 1 inch without the wheelie bar. Any tips on making it faster without Lipo batteries?
@Rust1er on blitz to go faster without lipo battery's, you could try to put in a higher pinion gear for more speed or upgrade the motor and esc from an xl5 to a vxl brushless. Both of these will work great. 👍👍👍

You might be taking the turns too fast Or you have the TSM off. When I do speed runs, I have the TSM on so the car stays straight then I slow down and then turn around.
@Lancer I usually take the turns slowly, especially in a rustler because they can pick up speed and flip over at high turns. What kind of tires do you have on it because that might also help. The tires I use are the anaconda street tires.
Also is this the rustler with the new magnum transmission?
No this one doesn't have the new magnum transmission but I am thinking about putting it on.

I've heard a lot of good stuff about this transmitter. 🛻🛻
not 70 man lucky to be 55 or 60 get a gps speed meter to find out
Yea
Was not to confident that it would hit 70 on a 2s lipo

Nice rustler vxl lol. I have the rustler that does 60 mph with no body haha it's rough but atm I need a new receiver lol
Thanks bro!! 😁 I have a GPS speed meter coming to get an accurate speed result and I'm changing the gearing to a 31 tooth pinion and a 76 tooth spur
@@RC_Racer I'm not sure what ratio I have I never looked tbh 🤣🤣.
@@slybeatrc5715 🤣🤣
Sorry I’m new to Traxxas what’s the best street tires for the Rustler vxl
I'd say that the best street tires that traxxas sells are the Anaconda tires, but other companies make really good tires too.
What battery do you use? Thanks for your time
The battery that I used was a 2s lipo 7600mah.
Just so you know the slow mo kinda ruined the feel of the speed of it
Yea, I guess I can see that, I mainly did it so you could see the movement more clearly
It doesn't go 70 mph on a 2s get a 3s my friend very nice otherwise
Yea, I didn't go 70 in that video but now I modified it into a no prep drag car and now it goes 74 mph
Great content friend 👍 keep it up 👍 Big 👍 from XpertBoost Gaming.
Thanks friend!! 😁😁
can you make a video on how to upgrade it? i just got mine today
Sure!! That rustler in the video recently went through a whole mod transformation into a no prep drag racer.
yea i really want mine to go 70 mph please share how to do so!
@@RC_Racer
I got 66 mph out of it no upgrades at all just changed gearing and that on a 28 pinion and 73 spur

nice bunch of trucks you have there! Let's go!

I like the cars you got too 👍👍
Surprised its not running hot
I had an esc fan and two motor fans to keep it from overheating.
Awesome video ...! 70 MPH yes that is fast .. I leave you a BIG Like. Your content is great.
Thanks!!!😁😁
Nice video man great job 👍🏽. My rustler did 54 mph With 33-76 gearing on traxxas 2s Lipo 5800. There definitely a blast to tune run
Thanks dude!! Great job with that Rustler speed!!! I'm probably going to gear mine up more and go 3s for more speed.

Thank you so much!! The rustler is a very open truck for upgrades, I'm actually in the process of making it faster right now lol!

No, those are my offroad tires for when I want it to go offroad
nice work
Thanks dude!!! 😁
Awesome speed runs
Thanks friend!!😁😁
Wow
Thanks bro!!
What’s the gearing? Pinion tooth?
It has the stock spur gear but has the included high speed pinion gear that comes with the truck. I think it's a 28 tooth.
It needs that Manba monster 2200kv opinions for 3434 that will do it it will be very fast
My flips over how do I solve that problem
You might be taking the turns too fast
Or you have the TSM off.
When I do speed runs, I have the TSM on so the car stays straight then I slow down and then turn around.
@@RC_Racer how do I turn it on
@@RC_Racer oo i forgot I have the normal controller :( it’s there any solution like puting weight or something

get a wheelie bar
Look like 83 to 86 just by eye ball over 70 for sure no need to gps haha lol got her running great bro good vid
