Yeah I just bought a traxxas rustler 2wd 1\10 scale with charger and 8.4 battery for 200$ becuase this guys vids.

John John FREERUNNING definitely not this one with the rustler breaking in half

[@thathippyguydownthestreet]

Yhea I got into the hobby from this in fact I got the rustler 4x4 armma notorious and the x maxx because of this and I think that it was a good investment to get the rc cars

The box didn’t hit the rusty. The rusty hit the box. All too common with every RC basher lol!

[@DENSUTUBE2008]

Kev that Video was worth the wait!! Rustler took a LOT of abuse. Took a suicide hit to break it but good. I don't think ANY RC could take that hit without some serious damage. The New benchmark for durability test :)

[@droth2011]

That poor Rustler 4x4. It was doing pretty darn good until the head on crash at 45 mph. One thing is for sure NO RC is safe around you guys!! 🤪 Good fun, great vid.

more like: What happened Steven?!?! 🤣😲

[@Steven-hg4cz]

I did not expect that rustler to take that, that was impressive. I also like the sound clips you used, added a lot of value to the video.

[@cameron-w]

I just upgraded my Traxxas Slash 2wd to a 3000kv Dynamite Tazer and it goes fast! It's my first brushless vehicle and I run 3s. I've never run 2s.

Hey Kev, I’ve been trying to get my hands on one of these, but I called 6 different hobby shops all around my state. None have it yet, my disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined. Glad to see you’re enjoying yours😂. Oh, and “What happened????”

hope you get yours soon buddy

Been waiting for this for while thanks your the only youtuber that really tests them

[@yz125ryder]

Actually surprised at how tough the rustler 4x4 is. Good stuff!

[@STEVOD313]

Ya boi got the hustler rustler out! Definitely a fun truck, needs a couple small things to make it bullet proof but it’s an all around good rig IMO

[@STEVOD313]

14 tooth pinion seems to be the sweet spot, I’ve been told the 17 tooth u can backflip no problem but off road with it, it’s gonna over heat, so it’s got 11 tooth in it out the box I say u go with a 14 tooth

[@mattster197]

I liked when you use to run them out at that golf course or whatever it was with the really smooth grass and nice little hills. If you made a mistake there it just tumbled in the grass. You didn’t have steel boxes to risk hitting. Kevin you put them through a lot more than any of us would.

[@surgerc4791]

Glad I picked one of these up they are fun as hell

[@stevenleonard3539]

I'd really like to see a test of the Stampede 4x4 VXL

[@danypd]

Today I took to bash my Rustler 4x4 vxl and for sure it needs more stiff shocks. With the stock shocks, it sounds always hitting the floor very hard. And I think the chasis is always hitting rocks running on irregular roads. I love this car and the design, but definitly it needs stiff shocks.

[@nateb9346]

45 weight shock oil, aluminum caps and you’re golden.

Kevin, please can you do a round up of all your Traxxas cars in one video? Including pros and cons and price and running costs

[@perry1134]

No one can say rustlers aren't tough little trucks. You guys beat the living snot out of it and finished it off with an impact that NO RC car would have survived. What's more, the car can absolutely be fixed. Traxxas made a hell of a good product.

[@jackgessler1515]

Can't fool us Kev! We see that Arrma Notorious hiding back there with the Vkar body shell near the end of the video :P Great video as always!

[@roynorthcutt830]

I love doing front flips with my 4x4 rustler vxl. And the back flip to front flip

[@Valdemar-Perez-III]

God damn how many cars will you be splitting in half? First the rustler 2wd, then the Xmaxx, the slash 4x4 and now the rustler 4x4 lmao 😂😂😂😂 good vid Kev 😂😂😂😉🙄😁👌👋🤙💪

[@Megasty15]

Out of all the plastic cars I've seen broken in half (GD U E-Maxx), I have seen only ONE metal chassis break like that & it literally took a 100ft jump landing on a curb stop. I'll taking bending over breaking any day. It is funny as hell to see them still move after breaking though.

[@Valdemar-Perez-III]

Megasty15 hahaha I’ve crashed my stampede 2wd on 3s straight into a table and my right tire flew off along with the castor block, camberlink and servo saver I should’ve kept running it to be honest 😂😂😂😂

[@Megasty15]

@@Valdemar-Perez-III I was spinning my dearly departed Rustler 2wd on the track when my friend dropped his bloody E-Maxx on it. It took a few jump then flew apart while landing. The front end kept going while the rear end . . . turned into a speed bump for my Rustler. Both cars ended up in 2 parts 😂

[@jimriley2812]

Did the same thing to mine on a concrete curb. Same result. Servo, drive shaft and chassis. Good to go. Gotta give a reason for upgrades!! 😅

[@NordicRC]

Loved the montage at the end. Good job editing. Thumbs up.

[@mystiic5025]

Definitely buying one of these! Great vid Kev

[@supersingular]

Great video. Just like when any car breaks a black and white edit appears, you should do an edit for when impossible landings happen. That would be super satisfactory to watch. An opportunity to make your videos even more addicting.

[@tuffy3637]

The fact that Traxxas cars can still self right even after being broken in half

[@ShenRC]

😀That was a viscous hit! I don't think any RC would have survived that one!

Nice work, that's what I'm talking about, at least it looks like they've sorted the driveshaft issue

[@nickteele169]

Destruction such destruction I love it

[@DavidSmith-jc6zc]

If you put the high speed gearing in I will be interested to see if the engine overheats quickly and how the driveshafts hold up. Generally the don’t last long on the “high speed” gearing unless you just do a concrete speed run and shut it down.

[@lonnienunes]

Awesome bash beside the crash the life of a basher.

[@mr.alpaca1017]

I did the same thing to my truck a few hours ago

[@mr.alpaca1017]

@@jansvasta2146 I know the entire front end got ripped off the only thing holding it together are the shocks

[@DriftomaniacsRC]

It's not into the 50's (never mind approaching 65!) unless you've at least the 17T on but then be warned that accceleration is going to tail right off compared to this pinion, oh and get very used to that body front popping off, very, very used to it. If the wind changes direction it pops off. You mention the high speed gearing but get ready for a Huge drop in acceleration. Time to get that castle mamba x out....

[@NoMercyFtw]

man Traxxas takes a beating out of the box

[@stpbasss3773]

Put a 14 pinion on it, I was pulling double backflips with ease today on the 14 and it won't get too hot like the 17 does. And people saying it's the tires are wrong the tires are fine it's the gearing, I can backflip off a curb on the 14 with stock tires.

[@rccle1023]

Hey Kevin! How about putting all aluminum upgrades like A arms and shock towers etc on the Xmaxx or another good basher and showing how well the they take the abuse with all alloy parts compared to plastic stock parts or RPM?? Most people say plastic is the way to go when bashing and I agree but I would like to see how much abuse the xmaxx can take if it had alloy a- arms, shock towers, hub carriers etc...

[@alexairconditioning1581]

The Rustler 4x4 was kinda cool but I think that considering it cost as much as the arrma the arrma is soooo much better, but if I had the money I'd still buy one

[@stpbasss3773]

People think that but the extra 100$ goes towards metal diffs the arena has plastic diffs and the TSM is insane I've never had an RC that handles so good in my life.

[@benweinheimer6287]

Arrma chassis can't hold up to the heavy duty bashing, that's all. And I wouldn't consider Traxxas "toy grade" compared to arrma

[@andrashelembai3185]

@@cwatson42785 it was the other way around for me. The arrma models always broke. And the traxxas models never.

Thats like comparing ford n chevy lol. I own nuthin but ford. All the chevys ive ever drove have ended up with issues. Yeah arrma has the metal chassis, but after bein bent so many times, theyll break. I like the give of the traxxas chassis, plus it keeps its shape. Unless u do like kev n bash it straight into somethin solid, then it explodes lol

[@robbrcnstuff4220]

[@ryanharrell9570]

I wish I had playtime like you my dad won't play with me that much because he got work

[@evhexrc1765]

Put on some 2.8 tires on it. That’ll up the gearing, stability, self righting capability, overall sexiness, most likely widen the wheelbase, you get the point. Just do it. And maybe don’t hit the throttle into a concrete wall? Hard things that won’t budge and fast moving rc’s don’t mix. My most common hard thing that doesn’t budge that I come very close to hitting all the time with rc’s are mailboxes. When I do hit them, I can promise you a busted a arm, shock rod, shock protector, and other things... like the commonly resulting exclamation “OH F**k!!! S**t! Nooo! Goddamn sunnuvva...”
