Traxxas Rustler 2WD Brushless 1/10 Stadium Truck RTR – RED– 37454-4RED

The Traxxas Rustler 2WD Brushless takes the classic rear-wheel-drive Rustler platform and gives it a major performance update with a powerful Velineon brushless system, 2S/3S LiPo compatibility, TQi radio with Traxxas Stability Management (TSM), GTR shocks and a clipless body.

Traxxas 37454-4RED is the RED version and comes fully assembled and Ready-To-Race. It combines the simplicity and fun of a 2WD stadium truck with modern Traxxas brushless performance and durability.

Velineon 3S Brushless Power

At the heart of the new Rustler is the Velineon 3S brushless power system, consisting of the VX3 electronic speed control and V3200 brushless motor.

The system can be powered by either a 2S or 3S LiPo battery, allowing drivers to choose between manageable everyday performance or considerably more aggressive 3S power.

V3200 Brushless Motor

The Velineon V3200 brushless motor provides strong acceleration, high RPM and virtually maintenance-free operation compared with a conventional brushed motor.

It's matched to the VX3 ESC specifically for the lightweight rear-wheel-drive Rustler platform, giving the truck serious performance while retaining the simple drivetrain that makes 2WD stadium trucks so entertaining.

VX3 Electronic Speed Control

The VX3 brushless ESC is designed for 2S and 3S LiPo power and features the familiar Traxxas High-Current battery connector.

Like the rest of the Rustler's electronics, it's designed for all-weather RC use, allowing you to enjoy the truck in conditions that would stop many conventional RC vehicles.

Magnum 272 Metal-Gear Transmission

Power is transferred through Traxxas' proven Magnum 272 transmission.

The transmission features metal gears, a planetary gear differential with steel ring gear and a sealed gearbox to protect the drivetrain from dirt and debris.

A Torque-Control slipper clutch helps manage the powerful brushless motor's torque while protecting the drivetrain from sudden shock loads.

New 32-Pitch Gearing

The latest brushless Rustler upgrades the drivetrain with 32-pitch spur and pinion gears.

The larger gear pitch provides increased strength and durability, particularly useful when running the truck on powerful 3S LiPo setups.

Composite GTR Shocks

Another significant upgrade is the inclusion of Composite GTR oil-filled shocks.

The large-capacity shocks feature threaded collars for precise spring-preload and ride-height adjustment, 3.5mm shock shafts, white powder-coated springs and screw-retained spring retainers.

This is a substantial improvement over the basic Ultra Shocks traditionally associated with the Rustler platform.

Sledgehammer ST Rear Tyres

The brushless Rustler receives aggressive Sledgehammer ST rear tyres.

Their open-block tread pattern is designed to clear dirt and debris while generating strong traction on loose surfaces. At the front, dedicated tyres combine concentric rings with wide tread blocks to provide predictable steering both on and off road.

The tyres are mounted on tough 2.8-inch RXT six-spoke black wheels.

Clipless Body Mounting

The new Rustler features Traxxas' convenient clipless body mounting system.

Instead of traditional body posts and clips, concealed front and rear latches securely hold the body in position. Removing the shell is quick and easy while giving the truck a much cleaner appearance.

TQi Sport Radio with TSM

The included TQi Sport 2.4GHz radio system features Traxxas Stability Management (TSM).

TSM helps keep the Rustler pointing in the intended direction when accelerating hard on loose or slippery surfaces. Importantly, it doesn't simply reduce power—the system makes steering corrections in the background, allowing the driver to make better use of the available brushless performance.

Rear-Wheel-Drive Fun

While 4WD trucks provide huge amounts of traction, there's something particularly entertaining about a powerful 2WD stadium truck.

The rear-wheel-drive Rustler can slide, wheelie and kick up dirt under acceleration, while its lightweight chassis and simple drivetrain make it easy to maintain.

For drivers wanting an RC truck that's fast and exciting without the additional drivetrain complexity of a 4WD vehicle, the Rustler 2WD remains an excellent choice.

A Modern Take on the Classic Rustler

The 37454-4BLK Rustler Brushless is much more than simply an older Rustler with a brushless motor installed.

Upgrades including the VX3/V3200 power system, Composite GTR shocks, 32-pitch gearing, new tyres, clipless body and TQi/TSM radio system give the classic 2WD stadium truck a significant modernisation while retaining the simple rear-wheel-drive layout that made the Rustler so popular.

For someone wanting a fast, durable and relatively straightforward 2WD brushless RC truck, this new-generation Rustler is a very appealing package.
