TRX-37254-8-RED Traxxas Rustler 2WD XL-5 HD Stadium Truck with Battery, Red

The Traxxas Rustler 2WD XL-5 HD is the iconic 1/10 scale stadium truck that's been dominating backyards, dirt tracks, and parking lots for years — now with Extreme Heavy Duty components and a battery and charger included so you can be driving within minutes of opening the box. Powered by the waterproof XL-5™ electronic speed control and the Titan® 12T 550 brushed motor, the Rustler hits 35+ mph right out of the box. It's fully waterproof from the ground up, so rain, mud, and puddles are fair game.

You Also Need

• ⚠️ 4 AA alkaline batteries required for the transmitter — not included. Traxxas AA batteries (2914) available separately.

Size & Scale

The Rustler is a 1/10 scale stadium truck — about the size of a watermelon or a pizza box at 17.5 inches (445 mm) long and 12.25 inches (311 mm) wide. Big enough to see clearly at full speed, compact enough to fit in a backpack.

Key Features

• Brushed XL-5 power, brushless-ready transmission — the Titan® 12T 550 motor delivers strong torque and 35+ mph. When you're ready to upgrade, the Magnum 272™ transmission is already brushless-ready.
• Waterproof electronics — XL-5 ESC, receiver box, and steering servo are all fully waterproof. Drive in the rain, through puddles, no problem.
• Extreme Heavy Duty chassis components — strengthened C-hubs, axle carriers, steering blocks, and HD suspension arms installed from the factory.
• Battery and USB-C charger included — the 3000 mAh NiMH pack and 4-amp USB-C fast charger are in the box. You need a USB-C power source and 4 AA batteries for the transmitter, then you're ready to go.
• Clipless body system — no body posts, no clips. Secure latches hold the body tight and release quickly for fast battery access.
• Three drive profiles — Sport (Forward / Brake / Reverse), Race (Forward / Brake only — reverse locked out), Training (Forward / Brake / Reverse — 50% power limit).

Who It's For

The Rustler XL-5 HD is a Skill Level 1 vehicle — ideal for first-time RC drivers and younger riders, while still being fast and capable enough to satisfy experienced bashers. The brushed power system is easy to manage, and the included battery means there's no extra shopping required to get started.
