The nitro rustler is a classic! Based off the beautiful SRT. I considered the SRT and Nitro Rustler the best models Traxxas ever made.

[@CharlieBrown-pb9xn]

I bought one for my nephew 10 years ago. Was extremely impressive and want one for myself today.

[@hybrid32494]

whats up bro! AWESOME!! Glad to heat you're making the Nitro Scene more popular by getting your nephew into it. I highly recommend you look at the Traxxas Nitro Slash also. It's built on this same chassis, but extended and also comes with the 3.3 instead of the 2.5.

@@hybrid32494 ay that’s what I’ve got! A nitro Slash with a jconcepts 2012 Chevy Silverado body and jconcepts wheels and tires, best purchase ever! Goes crazy fast, and for a first nitro it’s a really good option! 10/10 really recommended!

[@natew677]

Just got my rustler put back together and drove it the first real time today and it’s awesome! I bought mine used for 40$ and it’s got a 3.3 already in it! It needed some work but now it’s a real driver

[@hybrid32494]

hey bro! thats a great value right there, 40 bucks for one of the world's fastest single speed nitros, especially with the 3.3 motor. Good luck with it man, you cannot kill a nitro..

[@Spacesprocketz]

I miss these days! I was a Team Associated guy but when Traxxas hit the scene I knew Team Associated had problems.

[@2stroke4me]

I like it when the claimed speed is not from the manufacturer but from the magazine, you know it's more realistic :) The thing with Traxxas, HPI and the likes is that they were made to last with good materials. Great advise on the break in bro! I made a break-in video once (Traxxas) and it was the most boring video i've made with a nitro, LOL! Great review on the Rustler and give it a hug bro!

[@johncardwell3119]

I've had the nitro rustler just make sure you get a wheelie bar great videos keep them coming 👍

Man you've been getting all sorts of new stuff lately!!! That's awesome bro, your killin it!! You got like what, 2 or 3 other break ins to do still?? Can't wait!

[@hybrid32494]

sup bro! Unfortunately this one isn't mine, I was doing a break in for my RC buddy. For my own self I've only been buying the NEW HPI's lately. But yes, I did but the Savage ($470), the Trophy Truggy ($410) and the Nitro Bullet ($310). Collectively all good deal, and prices recently went up alot, im doing a video on the price hike now.

Thanks BEN! I gave this nitro rustler back to it's owner and now I can resume making some vintage nitros GREAT AGAIN! One thing that still baffles me about this nitro rustler is the brakes. I did plenty of adjustment and they still suck. It's got the PHANTOM JATO brake problem, lol.

i bought the tmaxx 3.3 the other day and i love the thing i don’t regret anything about it

[@hilham89]

I remember when I got my first one. I got the Traxxas Revo 2.5. I loved it but I stopped playing with it and sold it. I regret it every day now but I would love to have the 3.3 version of it. Maybe one day.

I know this is an old video but I recently discovered your channel when looking up reviews on nitro RCs because I was looking for my first. Almost bought an HSP short course online (what brought me to your channel) I got impatient and the only thing available locally here is Traxxas and Losi. Went to the hobby shop for a rustler and then walked out with a slash🤣 I LOVE IT!!! I'm officially hooked on nitro. The sound,smell,speed, doughnuts!! Pure fun. Now to use your videos for educational purposes. I may still have to get that HSP and Rustler 🤣

You’re right about pipe bro. The plastic is hated so much but is nothing wrong with it. I ran mine way after I took ownership. The only reason why I replace it is because it broke as my fault. Keep ripping it bro!. 👍

hey bro! Glad you agree! This is the type of thing you can only truly understand from experience you know. Everybody thinks the aluminum pipes are a night and day difference, but in reality it's at best 5% if you're lucky. ONly the sound is deeper so it's kind of a placebo effect anyway. Nitrogang!!!

Hello really good vidieo iI'm thinking of buying a new nitro rc car which one do you recommend the most either a traxxas T-maxx 3.3 or a revo 3.3

[@hybrid32494]

hey my dude! Thanks! I highly recommend the T-maxx 3.3 (watch some of my videos on it, you will see why). But to summarize it, the t-maxx is easy to work on, very tough, it's got a single steering servo instead of 2 on the revo (all you really need is 1). and it's got the forward only 2-speed installed unlike the REVO with the troublesome optidrive and reverse system. Both are awesome and I own both, but the t-maxx is my GOTO nitro truck these days.

[@fdloop]

I like it. If it works and it’s enough to have fun I would get it. I don’t need a Kyosho. But if for the same price I can have a Kyosho, then I’ll take the Kyosho

[@hybrid32494]

hey bro! You could get a cheap Kyosho buggy for the price of this thing (just about). The problem you'll run into with any KYOSHO is parts support. I hate to say it, but TRAXXAS is the current king when it comes to parts availability and support. Plus this is significantly faster and proven to be faster with real speed tests. Look into the Nitro Slash, it's built with the rustler chassis but longer, and comes with a 3.3.

[@hybrid32494]

hey bro! I have noticed the brakes are terrible on this one too. I actually spent like an hour off-camera trying to make them better, and only had about a 30% improvement at best. First thing make sure the throttle linkage opened fully and has enough movement to pull the brake lever. I noticed you have to adjust the collars on the thottle arm to allow the brake lever to close more, and also have to slightly move the collar on the brake linkage itself to make it tighter. Overall they still suck, and it's something I need to look into more. you're right.

Some modern fuels are also clear which would make it even more difficult to literally see through the tank you know.

A bit lean, I would have liked to see a good plume of smoke out the pipe for break-in. I still have my old nitro street, essentially a version of the old rustler.

If you were closer I would probably send you my classic 2.5 t-maxx

Bro HRP raised the price yet again on the savage X They want 700 bucks !

[@hybrid32494]

hey my dude!! Yup, I saw. I'm actually doing a video on. that right now, I'm angry over it myself. Luckily I got all of them before the price hike. They must have watched my older video where I analyzed their prices and compared them to 2000, ahaha. I'm gonna include this comment in my video BTW.. You the man!!>

[@xiar5546]

I’d love to get one but I just don’t make enough to afford one.

t maxx 3.3 number one best rc truck ever and 1/15 e revo vxl number two and nitro rustler number three and rustler vxl number four all rc trucks I all the best and they all number one and traxxas is the best.

On my first tank and whenever i let it run for about 15 seconds the rpm starts to climb for no reason. It climbs very slowly but way higher than it should. Is that a common issue

[@hybrid32494]

hey dude, let me try to help you out some. First thing I would do is RICHEN the low speed needle (the small needle on the side of the carb). Richening it will allow more fuel to flow and will lower your RPM some. You could also need to lower the idle gap and richen the High speed needle. Generally it's normal to have some IDLE creep if you're not driving. It's a sign of an air leak if it's really bad and the tune does not help. Try it and let me know.

[@rqlk]

@@hybrid32494 hey I tried richening the low speed needle and it worked. I also checked head bolts etc and they’re fine so no air leak. Real quick, is it normal that when I first throttle it up it doesn’t want to rev much then it kicks in all of a sudden, instead of smoothly accelerating? I’m in the half throttle stage of break in, and I have been doing it in increments whenever I have time instead of all at once so hopefully that’s ok.

I had one probably getting on 25 years ago might of been 30 years ago 🤣 was a terrible rc car pull start broke all the time not an issue now

[@hybrid32494]

hey my dude! The first nitro rustlers came out around 1997ish. Anyway, I also messed up my first nitro and broke pull-starts, once I figured out how to correctly use it I have never broken one again. I would say most of it is user-error, but the older models were obviously 1990 tech and lower build quality, you know. The modern nitro rustler is a fast BEAST of a nitro..

[@andrewpattie358]

@@hybrid32494 1997 sounds about right my brother had a Schumacher 21 extreme storm around the same time and that broke all the time too but that was rc in the old days I had a bandit too and a stampede all of which where difference types of broken at any one time 🤣 my first rc car was kyosho big brute probably got that in 1990 ish rc cars r so much better now thanks for the information 1997 I was about 13 🤣

[@nomusicrc]

I was just going to say if it’s not broke don’t fix it 9:21 thank you for doing a close-up so I could read it I didn’t hear you honk the Prius horn

[@hybrid32494]

Hey bro! You got it on the close up!! My goal is to always portray what I'm saying as clearly as possible. I re-watch my own videos about 2-3 times after final edits have been made to check for issues or any corrections that could be made. You could say each video goes though a "BREAK-IN". lol. So to say! ahah. But ye that traxxas chart is quite good, most people don't follow the break-ins and then just blame traxxas for their issues.

[@nomusicrc]

@@hybrid32494 so you say the car is not running right how did you break it in customer what do you mean break it in I put gas in it and ran it at full speed
