4 years ago and the rustler vxl 4x4 is still a great little truck to have in the collection. That and the newer ones have updated stronger drive shafts and arms!
I just got a newer rustler 4x4 (not vxl) it came with factory installed front and rear led lights, the XL5 speed control and the Titan 12T 550 How can I put street tires on it, and make it to like 20 mph faster. Right now it’s kinda quick but I’m used to now and want to go faster. Any recommendations
Cool to see it next to the E-Revo. Really shows how they took the styling of it. You also pointed something out that I never thought of. With it being the same platform as the slash 4x4, you already know what needs to be upgraded for it to fit your needs👍
I can’t believe this video was a year ago and I love how he said he was getting a Lamborghini and now he has it good job Kevin you’re doing a really good job I bet you worked hard for that keep it up man and also I would love to see you build that monster truck and see a video of you finishing that good job Kevin you worked hard for everything you do I love your videos man stay safe
I’m running amazon $30 LNL aluminum big bore shocks for the slash 4x4 since the stock shock cap blew off. No problems since. Bashed every weekend since October 12th and nothing broken since shock upgrade. Keep you eye on the knuckle hinge pin as mine backed out so I just shoegoo them in. Great car and looking forward to the bash vids.
I love the unboxings the style you make them is funny and cool, i love when you throw the rc cars to the table or to the floor with slow moton and we can see the suspension travel very cool part and make the cars to look beasts. Also i like in 10:00 the front wheel is in the air because of donuts very cool part.
Kev, i have an idea... I think you have some spare proline bulldog bodies, and if you cut a hole in the back, put a traxxas quick lock body release on it, then you have a bulldog rustler 4x4! HOLD THE FXXX UP, HE HAS AN ARRMA NOTORIOUS!?!?!
Used my new rustler 4x4 vxl on a dirt road for 5 minutes and it stopped working I think the slipper is locking never jumped it running 3s piece of rubbish
8:21 greetings from COLOMBIA!¡!¡! Hi, can you talk about TQI and TSM, please, and if this works in any vehicle? Or can I adapt the receiver and take advantage of this benefits? Thank you very much kevin ...
Yep I'm jealous Kev, You said we are a bit behind in the UK well we are even bloody slower here in Australia (Still waiting to get mine) Great video man 2 thumbs up p.s. Still Jealous LOL
I just purchased this thing and new to RC cars. Excited to get it out. I’d be afraid to try backflips with this thing being a noob don’t want to wreck it. 😱🤣🤣
OOOOHHHH Dear just got a 1/6 redcat shredder 5 mins ago just as you make this vid and make me want another rustler! well more money out my pocket because of Rc cars!
Finally u got urs! So far I’ve liked mine, just make sure u upgrade to aluminum shock caps n aluminum bearing adapter. I’ve got videos on the two upgrades
Kevin Talbot I couldn’t get it to backflip with stock pinion people told me 14 is the sweet spot n the 17 it backflips easily. Also if u see the springs seem to be too short n needs more spacers or it’s gonna come apart like it did, but ur putting platinum shocks on so ur all good
I feel the Kraton isn't the car suited for your bashing style. You tend to do point and shoot bashing at a skate park (line up a jump then do a flip or something) which is why i think you like the xmaxx so much. It is powerful and durable but has shit handling so you can't really take it to a bmx track and land jump after jump and drift around corners like you can with a Kraton. A metal chassis is not good on a concrete skate park but it really excels on dirt. The E-revo might be similar but still wont perform as well on a track. You bring up Rich Duperbash and his Arrmas a lot and if you look at his vids, he is always on dirt. With rc's its all about terrain. The xmaxx is good for the skate park, the Kraton for the bmx track.
Awesome vid Kev. thanks for the review. I am also looking to buy a rustler 4x4 vxL next also. Cant wait till the skate park vid along with 6S! "When in doubt,.....air it out!
I'm soo glad I waited for Traxxas to come up with better RC's and glad to hear Rustler is a great choice. I was thinking about the Bandit but it wasn't gonna work out. I'm looking at Rustler and Traxxas Monster Trucks I can use for my Ramps.
Yeah works on hard ground and it says on the box only 3s does it but out of 4 attempts with mine I've had it work twice so not too bad but I don't like it, I like my diffs the way they are not stripped lol.
The front spring lower cups were the first thing that came off my unit as well. Followed by repeatedly breaking the plastic front differential outputs.
Hey Kev 4+ years late, you’re probably always aware of this, and you likely won’t see this but the Proline Flowtek Fusion body really really helps the Slash 4X4 with parachuting.
In the fpv quad and plane world I've always used turnigy and other various hobbyking batteries. Recently I bought the boy and I 2 slashes and just bought the traxxas batteries and chargers the batteries are holding up pretty good, have about 100 runs on all 4 of them and no puffing or anything, they seem to be holding up well.
I had a 2wd rustler for 3 years now and I love the thing...Titan 12t, no upgrades and it runs like a champ... I upgraded to a 2 we Slash both great trucks however I prefer the rustler it fits my driving style better. Recently I've been thinking about upgrading to four wheel drive platform. And I think the rustler is going to cut it. However watching the video following only problems I saw was that the body kept falling off and God damn thing broke in half.
K- "The slash is probably my only RC cars that I would give to a bunch of kids and let them get on with it and know it's probably not going to break" K- **breaks Rustler in very next video.. 😂😂

Totally agree!

@@bassinup5184 change motor and esc
I bought the rustler when it was weak and had to upgrade the driveshafts😭😭😭
Cool to see it next to the E-Revo. Really shows how they took the styling of it. You also pointed something out that I never thought of. With it being the same platform as the slash 4x4, you already know what needs to be upgraded for it to fit your needs👍
Don’t worry Kev, the dislikes are people trying to like the video from Australia
😂😂😂
What are you taking about its all flat
What dislikes
lollll
I can’t believe this video was a year ago and I love how he said he was getting a Lamborghini and now he has it good job Kevin you’re doing a really good job I bet you worked hard for that keep it up man and also I would love to see you build that monster truck and see a video of you finishing that good job Kevin you worked hard for everything you do I love your videos man stay safe
You should review one of the Traxxas 1/16 models. They’re really fun!
That sounds a good idea
Ya like maybe the 1/16 rock and roll summit?
Mini erevo or / mini slash
The mini slash sucks
@@wazpie1 I heard the mini Revo just eats diffs too so probably a bad idea I've heard nothing but bad things about Traxxas 16scale line.
Your face on the main picture 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Hah. After this thing being out 4 years I finally got one. Awesome truck. Don’t know why it took me so long to finally get one.
I waited for this video so long
I’ve had a traxxas rustler for 4 years and it has not broke yet😮
Kevin. Watching this 2 years later. I want to see a 6s esc in the Rustler 4x4!
I have that same one, that I put the 4" PVC coupling drift wheels on it. And now, I just bought my granddaughter the new pink Rustler for Christmas.
I picked one of these up last week. It is an absolute blast.
I’m running amazon $30 LNL aluminum big bore shocks for the slash 4x4 since the stock shock cap blew off. No problems since.

KEVIN MY DEPRESSION IS CURED THANK YOU!!!
Oh my god i cant wait for the Outcast review and unboxing. THAT is a cool truck. also love the early upload its 13:44 here in Norway😁
Thanks a lot for your mini ebay course Kev, you are the best youtuber out there :)
I love the unboxings the style you make them is funny and cool, i love when you throw the rc cars to the table or to the floor with slow moton and we can see the suspension travel very cool part and make the cars to look beasts.

It's about time :-) Can't wait to see you destroy this thing!
Did your own ad, brilliant. Thank you for the unboxing!
Kev, i have an idea... I think you have some spare proline bulldog bodies, and if you cut a hole in the back, put a traxxas quick lock body release on it, then you have a bulldog rustler 4x4! HOLD THE FXXX UP, HE HAS AN ARRMA NOTORIOUS!?!?!
Is the arrma notorious yours kev?
yeh man :)
@@KevinTalbotTV glad you finally gave in!
@@KevinTalbotTV Somebody is liking Arrma 😉
@@KevinTalbotTV are you doing a review on the arma? great video!
Kevin Talbot is this going to be in a new video at some point
😃👍 Nice! I think this is one of traxxases best!
That's not just an RC. It's a whole new adventure😎😉👍
I miss my rustler I clocked mine at 85 years ago I wish I had the money to get back into it .... love all your vids Kevin
Thats badass! What were you running? You have me interested in getting a used one now 😁
Traxxas vehicle are all amazing I had a summit . Slash and a losi baja truck...
Congrats can’t wait to see this in more vids
That thing looks sick!! And a Lamborghini would be even more sick!!
What Happened!! Classic line
Another one is
Ahhahlright
Think I know what I am buying myself for Xmas this year, thanks for the video sir!!
I just got this for Christmas, and it is really good. It's the favorite 9ne I've gotten.
Used my new rustler 4x4 vxl on a dirt road for 5 minutes and it stopped working I think the slipper is locking never jumped it running 3s piece of rubbish
That looks like E-REVO/SLASH mix
KaKeX it’s the same concept as the maxx
@@haroldgladysvanveldhuizen9110 no it's not.
@@haroldgladysvanveldhuizen9110 it came out a lot before the maxx what you mean
its the slash but shorter with a smaller e revo body
Cool Unboxing Kev! You dont even have Mercy on the box lmao! 👍👍👍👍
Just ordered one today, can't wait!
Yes I have been waiting for sooo long thx Kevin
I’m getting one for Christmas and I’m so exited
Rc Seeker hey like at what price did you get yours
@@lucien2962 I'm wanting one but the price 😪
8:21 greetings from COLOMBIA!¡!¡! Hi, can you talk about TQI and TSM, please, and if this works in any vehicle? Or can I adapt the receiver and take advantage of this benefits? Thank you very much kevin ...
asdee arty yes you can.
I have a rustler 4x4 vxl it’s fun!
I just love watching your videos they're just so fast and then never break I love you is so cool
Thanks kev for doing this unboxing on this
Yep I'm jealous Kev, You said we are a bit behind in the UK well we are even bloody slower here in Australia (Still waiting to get mine) Great video man 2 thumbs up
p.s. Still Jealous LOL
The wait will make it that much better, you will love it, best Traxxas I've ever bought besides the trx4.
Great show Kevin also on the Rustler ;)
My boy kev is going to get a Lamborghini!
lol parachuting has never been a problem for me because I don't take my RC's 70ft into the air for a death ride XD
I just purchased this thing and new to RC cars. Excited to get it out. I’d be afraid to try backflips with this thing being a noob don’t want to wreck it. 😱🤣🤣
This channel rules
Yes I've been waiting for this
I love how you unbox your stuff so cool
OOOOHHHH Dear just got a 1/6 redcat shredder 5 mins ago just as you make this vid and make me want another rustler! well more money out my pocket because of Rc cars!
Nice test. 👍😎👍
Finally u got urs! So far I’ve liked mine, just make sure u upgrade to aluminum shock caps n aluminum bearing adapter. I’ve got videos on the two upgrades
U got the same color as mine, the green n blue is epic! Have fun with it Kev n send it!
im probably gonna put slash platinum shocks on it dude
Kevin Talbot there u go problem solved lol
Kevin Talbot I didn’t get to that part of the video till just now 😂
Kevin Talbot I couldn’t get it to backflip with stock pinion people told me 14 is the sweet spot n the 17 it backflips easily. Also if u see the springs seem to be too short n needs more spacers or it’s gonna come apart like it did, but ur putting platinum shocks on so ur all good
Oh yes.. this is what I waiting for..
Love the convenience and look of the traxxas batteries NO pigtails BUT the cells are weak! It dont take long before they start puffing.

You've nailed it.
I totally agree 😎
@THE NPC you didnt buy braces obviously
@THE NPC I own 2 Kratons and have jumped them 15+ feet without bending a chassis. Thats without chassis braces... not sure how you bash.
I don't land on flat concrete. Thats not what they're intended to do.
more videos like this please
Cant wait to get mine.
He wasn't joking about the Lambo
Yessss the ootcast!
that looks really sick i watched this video for more than ten times nice vids
Awesome vid Kev. thanks for the review. I am also looking to buy a rustler 4x4 vxL next also. Cant wait till the skate park vid along with 6S! "When in doubt,.....air it out!
Does the MAH on lips batteries effect the speed
Great informative video kevin 👍👍
Lol @9:18 it popped the shocks! I didn't even get to the end of the video!
I'm soo glad I waited for Traxxas to come up with better RC's and glad to hear Rustler is a great choice. I was thinking about the Bandit but it wasn't gonna work out. I'm looking at Rustler and Traxxas Monster Trucks I can use for my Ramps.
Does it have the automatic flip over
yes but it does not work most on the time, it didnt on mine anyway
It works best on 3s and on a hard surface but not perfect
Yeah works on hard ground and it says on the box only 3s does it but out of 4 attempts with mine I've had it work twice so not too bad but I don't like it, I like my diffs the way they are not stripped lol.
YES, YES, YES! Run that puppy on 6s after you repair it. 😁😁😁😁
Seen the skate park carnage! Lol.
The front spring lower cups were the first thing that came off my unit as well. Followed by repeatedly breaking the plastic front differential outputs.
Wow there’s a lot of FIRST’S in here, how’s there more then one?
I was first in his bashing video of the rustler 4x4
Thanks for sharing this man! I appreciate it.
Yay!new vid!
Can’t wait for more videos on This
Hey nice love the video bro and I’m back to watching yu videos
Hey Kev 4+ years late, you’re probably always aware of this, and you likely won’t see this but the Proline Flowtek Fusion body really really helps the Slash 4X4 with parachuting.
Yes! Finally Kev!
Yes kev definitely put in 6s
Can those handle 4s lipo?
I'm so happy you were going to get one of these
Hugo Kev bash that thing😁👌
Kev do you have ghosts in your workshop? because at 9:43 you can see an ORB and its not!!! a dust particle just watch how it moves lol
😂 you always make me laugh 😂 btw that body is niceeeeeeee 😍 but the moment it arrives in the Netherlands i will buy the red body too 😃😍
Do you have a used slash 4x4? If so, how much would ya sell it for?
I love mine, the only other problem are the tires. 2 of them exploded while self righting. Any suggestions?
Waiting on my First X-Maxx, Kevin may or may not have been the one convincing me on biting the bullet hahaha
I run a vxl-3s motor on 3s & it overheats & smokes, Kev run a vxl-3s motor on 6s & its fine. GJ RC gods.
Hell yea from Texas
In the fpv quad and plane world I've always used turnigy and other various hobbyking batteries. Recently I bought the boy and I 2 slashes and just bought the traxxas batteries and chargers the batteries are holding up pretty good, have about 100 runs on all 4 of them and no puffing or anything, they seem to be holding up well.
7:33 they’ve not puffed up yet *smacks lipo battery 30 times*
Not sure how I got to this channel but I’m glad
6s BABY!!
the traxxas batteries are really good i've relied on them for over 5 years. make sure to get the 4500 and the 5000 ones
Nice video and rc car
Awesome videos!! Keep up the amazing work!
I had a 2wd rustler for 3 years now and I love the thing...Titan 12t, no upgrades and it runs like a champ... I upgraded to a 2 we Slash both great trucks however I prefer the rustler it fits my driving style better. Recently I've been thinking about upgrading to four wheel drive platform. And I think the rustler is going to cut it. However watching the video following only problems I saw was that the body kept falling off and God damn thing broke in half.
Hi Kev I have used traxxas batteries and I found they are good with traxxas cars awesome video mate keep up with the fantastic work
Send it ! Yeeeooowwww
Based off your reviews I am going to pick one up tomorrow!
2:40 SUUUPAA DOOPAA
ohhhh yeah baby!!!!!!!!
that car is so clean
K- "The slash is probably my only RC cars that I would give to a bunch of kids and let them get on with it and know it's probably not going to break"
K- **breaks Rustler in very next video.. 😂😂
I own a Traxxas Rustler! But it’s not the VXL so thanks for reviewing it if I want to upgrade
Yessss ive been waiting for this
Love your vids keep it up bro
