About
This Rustler VXL is the most fun I've ever bought. It is worth the money and a great hobby to pick up. I've had numerous R/C's since I was a kid but nothing that ever went over 5-10mph! I love riding wheelies down my block from end-to-end over and over. The Rustler is a very powerful machine with the Velineon Brushless motor system behind it. This machine is also very versatile on ALL surfaces. I love getting air from ramps. But my homemade ramps weren't enough. So I took my R/C to the local skate park. I started off slow and gradually hit the ramps faster and faster. A bit later, I wound it up from across the park and jumped a huge ramp. Luckily, there was a tree nearby to catch it in mid-air! I think I pooped myself and then rushed over to catch it before falling out of the tree. This is where High Flyer came from.

This Rustler VXL isn't a "factory" Rustler VXL. It is actually just a Rustler that had Titan 12T 550 brushed motor installed. I bought the after-market Velineon Brushless motor. This motor is specifically made by Traxxas so it was an easy installation. The motor came with the VXL3-s Electronic Speed Control. This system is also water-proof. I have a parts car that has many of the same parts that will fit on my Rustler. I.e. I installed a purple aluminum anodized front bumper/protector thingy that was originally a hard black plastic one. I also installed after-market bead-loc wheels with Proline Dirt Hawg front and rear tires. I also have numerous sets of after-market wheels and tires. I custom decaled a Proline Desert Rat racing body which is clear with an Oakley decaled body. I HAVE NUMEROUS WHEELS AND TIRES PLUS A TOOLKIT FULL OF SPARE PARTS
