When it comes to stadium trucks, few names stand out like the Traxxas Rustler. Built for speed and engineered for durability, the Rustler combines off-road toughness with track-ready performance. Whether you’re bashing in the backyard, racing at the local RC track, or just looking for a fast, reliable truck, the Rustler is one of the most popular and proven RC models ever made. At The Thing Shop, we’re proud to bring the Traxxas Rustler lineup to Atlantic Canada.

What Makes the Traxxas Rustler Special?

The Rustler has earned a legendary reputation in the RC community because it’s fast, fun, and nearly indestructible. Designed to handle jumps, high-speed runs, and rough terrain, it’s perfect for anyone from first-time drivers to seasoned racers.

• Brushless Power Options – From the Rustler XL-5 brushed model to the Rustler VXL with the Traxxas Velineon brushless system, there’s a Rustler for every speed addict.

• Extreme Speed – The VXL version hits over 70+ mph with the right battery and gearing.

• Waterproof Electronics – Don’t worry about puddles, mud, or snow—your Rustler is ready for all conditions.

Rustler vs. Rustler VXL: Which Is Right for You?

• Traxxas Rustler XL-5 (Brushed) – A great entry-level choice with speeds up to 35 mph, perfect for beginners or anyone who wants a reliable truck at a lower price point.

• Traxxas Rustler VXL (Brushless) – Packed with the Velineon brushless system, this beast is built for speed demons who want top-tier performance and massive power.

The Perfect RC Stadium Truck

The Rustler isn’t just about raw speed—it’s also about control. Its low-slung design, wide stance, and high-grip tires make it incredibly stable, even when you’re tearing across rough terrain or drifting on pavement. Add in Traxxas stability management (TSM) on select models, and you’ve got an RC truck that handles like a dream.
