Rustler® 4X4 VXL is a hard-charging wheelie machine that captures the speed and style of a stadium truck and injects it with a massive dose of strength and power. Beneath Rustler’s clipless body, the extreme Velineon® brushless power system feeds power through the factory-installed Extreme Heavy Duty Upgrade Kit to become the new standard for strength and durability.
