Here's Why I Haven't Been Using The Traxxas Rustler 4x4 RC Car

I put a couple of the eco boosts in my E-REVO and I was suprised by the quality you can hear it just moving them with your hands THANKS Kev!!

[@Chaosclipz]

Kev. You broke it in 2 minutes. Surely that’s a world record

[@paveljones5666]

I think the Traxxas 4wd Slash platform is being pushed beyond its limit with the big wheels on the rustler. I have a 4wd stampede and everytime I take it for a bash sometime breaks, usually the drive shaft or hubs or links. Smaller wheels on the slash really makes it bulletin proof

[@cindyshields5753]

I have a 2wd Stampede that's 9 or 10 years old and I have not replaced a single part yet everything is still perfectly fine and straight. I bash it all the time. Idk what happened to yours :/

[@falcondragonslayer]

My brother has a Slash 4X4 VXL and broke a driveshaft at a track not too long ago. It’s not the platform that’s weak, it’s the part. Traxxas needs to improve the driveshafts.

Low tsm is meant for high traction surfaces so it reduces your steering input to reduce rollover or sliding out while high tsm is meant for low traction surfaces like ice as an extreme example. High tsm gives you high control as you won’t likely rollover anyways. The more you know!

I bougt GPM axles front and rear. They have been working for 6 month now. But,.....You have to make a shim to put between the bearings in the rear hubs.

[@avem819]

As a Rustler 4x4 vxl owner, I do agree that the driveshafts are weak. For instance when I was doing a sharp turn, it went up on 2 wheels and the tire must have spun so fast that the u joint on the driveshaft broke. I've also been recently having a problem with my spur gear stripping too. And I just drive it in my backyard I don't do anything crazy. I did jump it good once though and snapped the rear axle carrier. I also ran it into a trash can🤦‍♂️ Great video Kev!

[@alphawolfworrior1]

My take from this is. Buy a rear wheel drive. So your only replacing the back axles.

[@jackpoole6120]

So glad that you give honest reviews!! They really didn’t hold up very well!!

[@but531]

Like in 6:38 i had the same problem from the first hour of hard driving, not jumps. This bottom round plastic part holds the spring in straight and steady position. This part has a gap so you can remove it from the shaft and i lost it in the dirt when i was driving. Other than that is a good rc car and i don't do jumps, but for a fast hard driving and small jumps because of the uneven ground as a first day of driving i am impressed from the top speed and the wheelies and for how fast can accelerate. Thank God that exist hobby shops, that do monthly payments and that's how i managed to buy it. Guys if you buy it as first expensive rc car, you will get impressed of how fast it is and how easily do wheelies when you press full the throttle from a stopped position.

[@optimoefpv2302]

Anyone having this problem with driveshafts should just use slightly smaller tires. Slash tires and a slightly bigger pinion(depending on user 13-18 tooth) and you’ll have no more issues. Other tire wheel choices are good too just needs to be smaller. Also make sure if you ever replace the shafts be sure to get the right ones. There’s (X)heavy duty(black) and (A)extreme heavy duty(grey),

[@panda_rc]

Kev the v2 rustler 4x4 has grey driveshafts that are a bit better. I have broken the rear but I got those banggood ones (the blue ones) and they're fine. The front never broke for me. The c hub things broke a few times after skate park abuse but I've tortured my rustler so I can't really complain. I got the rpm ones and they've been fine so far. I also have a jx ecoboost 21kg servo and it's so fast. The stock servo is so weak the wheels often couldn't turn on dirt so a great upgrade. Thanks for the videos so I know what product are good and what aren't.

[@stuartgray5877]

Look at the tire expansion @ 9:44 as the car lifts a wheel off the ground. These cars need limited slip diffs. Unless someone wants to make an electric brake that stops that (like the E-diff on the Suby BRZ)

[@droxyj7506]

I run an after market motor on my rustler 3s every time I take it out it eaither the gears strip or something else breaks

[@weskelley2485]

[@miguelgaviria5836]

@@weskelley2485 not really I have a 2200kv hobbywing motor with stock spur and it runs fine only problem is that the stock drive shafts keeps popping out

[@thatmand4542]

sounds like un proper mesh between the spur and pinion or something else

[@jordanwilliams9585]

I had those same metal axles on my slash 4x4. They didn't last 1 battery before pins ripped out. Replaced the pins and the shaft to hold the tire on snapped in half at the drive pin to hex. Worse axles I ever used. Plastic ones never stood a chance. Now I use mip for both front and rear and no more broke axles. Just have to use a lot of lock tight on the set screws.

[@jwilley1991]

I’ve always heard guys having axle problems with the rustler. Mine must be lucky or I don’t drive it hard enough because all I’ve had to replace is a rear wheel hex. And the rear piece that keeps my hinge pins in but I haven’t gotten around to that yet

[@matthewkruk67]

Same here no issiues what so ever, but look how kevin drives these things thays why they break lol

It’s likely bc Traxxas updated to the HD axles (gray) on the V2 Rustler 4x4 massive improvement

[@suzukijoe1]

@@DashzRight yes, the 4X4 VXL had an update early on after the axles kept breaking. Traxxas added the gray HD axles over the black axles as they are stronger. They also did this for most of their fleet. I suppose you could say they superseded the axles.

I have no problems with the plastic drive shafts on my Rustler 4x4. I did however destroy my rear ring and pinion (From landing jumps on throttle). So, I upgraded to the Traxxas spiral hardened gears font and rear.

[@scottvancauwenbergh6609]

Hello from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, I would like to know, if those 4pack tyres with the white spokes you had in the video rustler vxl 2wd, would fit a la trax rally car 1/18 scale. I have upgrade her with sealed bearings, traxxas 5 channel reciever and transmitter. Other upgrades are aluminum drive shafts and shocks, hot racing 60t metal spur gear, and I put in the velineon motor and esc. I am also doing other upgrades as well. This car is stupid fast. I just want to thank you for your time, mate

[@SebastianLong]

I'm not sure if those axles will hold up with the VXL system but I know they didn't hold up to my brothers Hobbywing Max10 with a 14 tooth pinion in his Stampede 4x4. Snapped one in 30 minutes. Jerry rigged it back together and literally popped the other 3 as soon as he nailed the throttle. 2 broke at the drive pin, the other broke clean off at the CV joint.

[@dyna.]

Not so sure about that ecoboost servo. I replaced a savox 1230sg 36kg@6v with that ecoboost 33kg@7.4v on an old savage, but the savox was more powerful for sure. Dirt cheap tho. And i'm using the same banggood specials as you are running in the front and they are not that good at all, but they are so cheap that it's about the same price as the traxxas plastic ones so when you compare it to that it's still a slightly better option, was about to try the ones you are running in the back next to see if they are any better and judging from your vid it seems like they are. Although in the end i'll probably end up with some good ones (traxxas, XO-1, hot racing) but they are just so expensive compared to the banggood specials that in this case it's worth to give the cheap ones a try.

Those to are a complete game changer. You'll absolutely love the car at that point. Btw MIP driveshafts hold up to 6s tumbles across parking lots 💪

[@kamilthegreat2834]

Yeah buddy i have a 4x4 6s 4292 motor slash. The things wants to break itself apart. The big bone center shaft is a life saver. Traxxas steel spline are great but the nut ends break once in a while. But that was with 150mm tires and tumbles across parking lots

[@pipnmaz]

Same complaint as on my Traxxas Stampede 4x4. The rear drive shafts are weak and kept breaking so replaced them with Fastrax ones (part FTTX262) but had 2 of those fail so went back to stock Traxxas plastic ones and now only run the car on 2S to save the rear shafts. Not great from Traxxas when Arrma 3S BLX range can take a 3S on plastic drive shafts without any troubles.

Gpm drive shafts are like the ones in the rear but better because they sell a rustler 4x4 specific set. Ive crashed my rustler bad and bent the shaft thread portion at the end, hammered it straight and kept bashing, they are that good.

[@joshrunion898]

The only thing I found that will hold up is the MIP splined driveshafts. A little pricey but well worth the money

[@nullnull5185]

I'd say the only truly strong drive shafts for the traxxas 1/10 platform are the MIP X-DUTYS, Tekno M6's and the new Traxxas Extreme heavy-duty steel splined drive shafts (I'm not talking about the constant velocity, those are only good for 2s). The X-Dutys are best for 4s-5s power systems, the M6's are best for 3s bashing and the Extreme heavy-duty drive shafts seem best for 2s-3s racing (because they are the lightest)

[@Julsnalice]

I’ve been using tekno rc driveshafts in my slash and rustlers for years and never managed to bend or break them. They are way cheaper than MIP and I feel tougher. The only negative is the suspension travel must be limited “very slightly” to prevent the dogbone end popping out. That being said the stock setup is fine it’s only when you try to put longer shocks on it’s a issue. Of course nothing is unbreakable, if anyone can break it, kev can 😂
