The Traxxas Rustler is a great truck for beginners to experts. It's SUPER durable and really fun. I've flipped it countless times and it has been fine. I had some trouble with the included battery. It only charges for about 6 to 7 houres but the manual says it has to charge for 8 and half hours - but it doesn't affect run time at all. In all, it's a great truck and I highly reccomend it to any one who is interested in getting into the RC hobby!

This review is from: Rustler Stadium Truck RTR w/Batt&Charger w/XL-5 (Toy)
I bought this as my very first hobby rc car. I couldn't be more pleased with my purchase.

To start off, this car is INCREDIBLY DURABLE! I have rolled it, jumped it, smashed it into trees(accidentally), and done donuts to no end, and so far the only part I have broke was the front wheel carrier when I smashed into a board.
It is very fast but very easy to drive.
This car is the most fun I've ever had!

Please know, however, that the stock Titan 12T motor WILL burn out. So please be prepared to buy either more Titan motors or the Velineon Brushless system.
My Titan 12T motor burned out, so I figured it was useless to keep buying more of them. I purchased the Velineon brushless system, and now the Rustler will pop wheelies on command! AMAZING!

My one and only gripe is that the rear tires wear down really fast, so you will have to buy more tires. (I would buy the Monster Jam tires!)

There are a few things you should purchase with...Read more

This car is a ton of fun, very durable and easily repaired with spare parts if you break something. It is great for doing jumps, drifting and all-around dirt racing. It charges with in 30-45 minutes, has great shocks and is definitely waterproof.
