I'm getting one, stop me if you can ;) For people wanting a bit more authority in the air for flips the bigger pinion might help. Not sure if that's too much and the motor will get hot. Stock is 11, optional is 17, there are quite a few options in the middle. Thank you for the great video, smile on your face tells the whole story by itself. Enjoy when you get yours!

I literally just bought one because of you AND IT IS AWESOME 😎

Great bashing on the "borrowed" Rustler 4x4. You ran it harder than I would have LOL. Looks great and you didn't even break anything. Great handling in the air too. Great video for sure.

I like how you said you were going to be careful in the beginning of the vid, I know once you drive it, can’t just go easy! Too fun!

Dang, that thing rips! I love that they did a 4x4 version.

Awesome video! Thank you for posting. I had been dying to see how it performed

Music normally spoils the these videos. Its lovely to have natural sound!

Mad props to not babying it.....surprised nothing broke. Great video, I subbed.

Im a regular in The Hobby Shop in Stockbridge always needing something for my X-Maxx.

Thanks for the review......shout out to Stockbridge GA. I've only seen 1 other KZfaqr in GA.

Excellent video. Easily best review I’ve seen. Subbed! Ps: nice lot

The Hobby Shop ?!? Stockbridge Ga ?!? I just found your channel but when you said that you really got my attention. I bought my first RC from Glen over 20 years ago , when he actually had a small track behind the shop. Cool stuff, glad I found your channel.

My very first RC IN 2015 oh what fun .. erevo was 2016 then I discovered crawler truck and went crazy...lol 10k later... Don't try to sell them you'll get screwed.. Like a real car you loose 20% of its value the first time you drive it. So your hobby SHOP really likes you.

I just got my rustler!! It's so fun to drive, and really easy to control!

Great video! I watched a few others on this car and it looked slow but yours doesn’t. I purchased this car for my kid for Christmas and just want him to be happy with it.

This new Rustler look awesome..nice backflip

Very nice review 🙌

Love the jumps

I just bought a stampede 4x4 vxl i couldn't wait on my rustler 4x4 to get here

Fantastic vid! Was concerned about the ground clearance of 2.7cm for this thing to bash in the grass, but after your vid, I’m getting one.

I hope they do a platinum version like the slash 4x4 with the necessary upgrades ☺ great unboxing and mini review 😁

man this thing sounds so smooth on pavement. looks like it handles so smooth.

Fantastic video excellent video editing. Very nice rustler

Just ordered one of these and some GTR shocks for it. May end up doing MIP driveshafts, but we'll see how the plastic holds up. I'm not really hard on my cars.

Looks good. Amazing place in the woods you have there too. Subscribed!

This video gives the Rustler a major rating boost compared to the Erevo. This video makes the Rustler seem better than the Erevo and your other review video comparing the two cars (reeve and rustler) you give the Erevo the upper hand. My mind: WHICH ONE!??!?!?! XD No one, literally no one (except maybe you because you admit you like the Erevo better in a different vid), literally on one will select one over the other. I wish I could just buy both and see which ones puts a bigger smile on my face.

Love mine ! Fun vehicle added sway bars and better shocks and its handles a lot tighter and is way more fun to drift in the grass and dirt. Hoping to get tires that have less of a harsh outer edge . The stock tires can be grabby and random in doing so. Overall love it and my girlfriend just got one and is hooked on RC now lol.

I'm always on the fence for a Traxxas simply because of the price points. I recently JUST bought my first Traxxas in over a decade. The Summit has been one vehicle that I have been longing for and finally decided to jump that fence.

Good video brother!

Nice video 👍 looks good

Love this truck and the erevo

Lucky!!! Looks fun.

Nice ramps I wanna build some but I just never come around to actually doing it.

Aluminum steering blocks, proline suspension and proline badlands. This thing is a freak on 3s

That bad boy was ready out of the box huh

Nice run.....👍🏽

Great, thank you.

Not a bad little piece of kit it seems. Little too small for me, but if I ever get one, definitely will be looking in it's direction. I would also like to have a 2 wheel drive as all my current RC's are 4wd. I do need a wide open space to run my Nitro Revo though.

My first thought 5 seconds in. Ah! How do you have one already? Lol

that bottoming up when landing had a funny noise to it, the rest looked quite good

I got one and already done some upgrades to it about to put a redline in it

The landing sound at 12:12 is funny too. Sounds like an explosion.

They better have one at my shop..extreme rc. I love it..but I am concerned about the plastic shafts on 3 cell..I know from experience they snap like toothpicks on 3s ..but I love 3s speed runs..and venom lipos are awesome..love them.I am getting a big cash settlement tomorrow..so I can't wait

Picking one up today.was gonna go e revo 2.0 but they just look like a maintenance nightmare if you break things. I already have a slash so I’m familiar with this setup

We miss your videos. Hope everything is good

This is great. You might want to mount the shocks in a different way to make it higher when you jump. It sounds like the chassis is slapping pretty hard even on grass. Or you could buy stiffer shocks, or thicker oil.

They should have had you sign that one and keep it in there show room. Lol Awesome video...

We checked out the Hobby Shop off your link. Unfortunately they don’t sell anything that they can ship. Unless I’m looking at everything wrong...lol I’ve seen this vid before, but was looking to support the channel by buying something from them. We live in NJ so unfortunately we can’t drive to them.

Amazing video man! now i wanna buy that thing :p

10:00 mark. I was going to say those tires not ballooning 5 times the normal size is going to make a backflip pretty hard! Nice edit btw,

nice new hustler

you have a good on camera presence you seem like a pretty cool guy… I'm going crazy over these videos on this particular car is specially your videos they've been the best so far. I ordered one but this stupid thing is back ordered I'm going crazy. Hey I noticed you did more videos their fantastic… PS do you have any tips for a novice on how to learn to jump without killing the car? Do you have a video to teach. I'm a bit scared to be honest… This car looks so cool thank you

I might get one for Christmas

You change the punch setting in the speed controller, make flips easier.

I recently discovered your channel and really like the way you put your videos together! Very informative. I am on the fence between the E-Revo 2.0 or this new Rustler 4x4 VXL. Previously I wanted the Revo, but then saw your Rustler video and now I am torn. Money isn't an issue, but rather looking for a solid RC that will last a while. Between the two, in a direct comparison, what do you like better? Maybe a quick short video?? Thanks in advance!

What a nice review. I am torn between the rustler and stampede.

Great video! 🤙🔥🤙 Subscribed 🍻

Geeezzz I want one for my son and myself!!

I picked up the same Rustler, same paint everything. Have any tips on driving it straight. I have trouble getting to hit a ramp straight on. I'm New though so maybe over time ill get it. Love the Vids.

You’ve got a good channel bro.

I don’t really like the reliability of my erevo 2.0 so I sold it and plan on getting this rustler. That and I don’t really have an area where running 1/8 sized rc is realistic. I’m so excited for this truck. You put it to the ringer and it held up pretty well. I’ve got a pro mt 4x4 for the backflips haha 👍😂🍻 great video

Awesome video! That side by side comparison on the revo 2.0 and the actual bashing was exactly what I was looking for! I'm on the fence on which to buy, both seem to have their upside. Did you happen to test out the self righting feature or do you just avoid it all together to avoid damage it may cause? Thanks

Nice super awesome video

Does anyone know of a very strong driveshaft for extreme bashing for this car

Cool slash

I have a stock rustler vxl 4x4 and it does not wheelie like that one in the video. Any advice?

I also made a video n compared it to the erevo 2.0, I wasn’t lucky enough to be able to test drive it, my hobbyshop doesn’t ever test run there’s cus I think they have so many people that come in n keep it new for model purposes. The chassis is different then slash its 20mm shorter, in the one I made we go over it pretty in-depth look

Nice man. I was thinking e Revo but since this came and I love the slash I gotta get it.

My only complaint is that the front suspension frame is to “fragile”, mine broke at the main body pin holes after a slight collision

nice run! i have one on order!

You can flip the original battery clamp upside down and it holds the 3s better I found

GREAT REVIEW AND VIDEO I'M NOW A NEW SUBSCRIBER!! Did you try it on the 18t pinion? Is 3's the largest with stock electronics? Are there many upgrades that are available for it yet?

Just a warning. My rustler breaks drive shafts like nothing so I've ordered some Tekno drive shafts which will hopefully stop the issue. I can't even run through a battery before a drive shaft breaks. Always in the same place on the shaft but it happens front and rear.

Man I get pid tomorrow an idk witch one to by the erevo 1/16 pr the rustker 4x4 I'm thinking the erevo. An will my nitro revo 3.3 rpm arms n draglinks fit on the erevo 1/16

Nice.

I seen it in person at my hobby shop

"My hobby shop loaned it to me" 3 minutes later back flipping it off trees and stumps! Lol I'd do it too!

I didn’t realize that you live in GA. I bought my Traxxas T Maxx years ago from the Hobby Shop in Stockbridge. I recently purchased an X Maxx and have been loving it since. I would like to find more local places to drive it though as my back yard is fairly small. Any suggestions? I live in Walton County, just 5 minutes outside of Gwinnett County.

Not to bad on 3s but honestly I expected more from the motor it runs like my slash does on 2s but I do have a 5200kv hobbywing set up

why were you using your feet to flip it over again? Doesn't it have a self righting feature?

Those colors in hot wheels spectra flame would be the shit

Got my outcast from glen in Stockbridge

Yes it can back flip

Had mine before the first orders were shipped

Would it make much a difference to run a Traxxas 4000mah 3s instead of the 5000mah? Or will that just affect the run time? Also, what kind of run time did you get out of ur 3s battery? TIA Awesome video btw! Def gonna be picking up one of these ASAP!

The landing at 9:24 is loud. I trip out every time i see it. It echos through the woods. lol. So would you say the Rustler is better than the Revo?

Pick me one up the other day...too cold to play out just yet...cheers from Arkansas 😜

Just ordered one, I’m in Georgia as well. Any tracks around me? I’m in Stone Mountain.

Wow I never had a rc car like this so I was planning on just going 2 cell but looks like I need to spend more money and get 3 cell. I don't want to break it but it's gotta keep up with my bro's gas powered car.

Wow you have quiet the beautiful place there mate, what do you do for a living if u don't mind me asking. That place is gorgeous.

I want one!!😵😵👍👍

Turn the arm that holds the battery around. It should rotate and give a tighter fit

I wish I could get a Traxxas! They look pretty durable and have a lot of part support

What !! you already have iT!

Do you like the revo 2.0 Or the rustler better? I just got the revo and it’s bad ass!

Damn good video dude, what pinion is it? Idk if u said it on video. My audio is kinda screwed up

Looked so much younger back then

Nice

Not bad for what it is. I'd have to upgrade the power system so it could take a 4s. Haha awfully nice of your local hobby shop to let you take it out for a beating. 👍 👍 they going to give you a discount on it since it's used? Haha

I you just have to flip the original battery holder around it just spins for a bigger batt
