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.

[@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

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..

hey man! how you doing! Im glad to hear you want to get into nitro! that makes me happy! I'd highly recommend you pick up the one in this video, there is a link in the description. Its the cheapest and fastest nitro you could get right now and it's in stock.

[@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.

You are so strong that you dont respect Traxxas Breakin. So i give you my TOTAL RESPECT

[@hybrid32494]

hey my dude! Thanks, lol! Yup over time I've come to the conclusion that only the number of heat cycles matter, which basically boils down to every single break in. Ofcourse this is for normal engines, not race motors that need to be operated at higher RPM generally. Nitrogang!!!.

Got a nitro slash a month ago b-day gift. My first RC truck. Last RC was miss america plane with string controller. Circa 1974.

Open the needle 2 turns past what would seem correct at first then go from there. I fried a tmaxx engine within 5 minutes on factory settings not knowing better 17years ago.

That was an extra $20 in 2002, extra glow plug??? Another $10 air filter oil?! Another $10 i had to buy all that seperate at the time!

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 🤣

hey bro! Whats up! totally right about them being just as good! The NITRO scene really has never changed (other than many got discontinued and cut), but they have always been basically the same and the best there is for guys who like real engines.

Back then the stadium truck segment was HOTTTT, and they were not cheap to run, so most people started with the RS4-3 which was an RTR instead. Hopefully one day I'll get one, sick looking body on the nitro rush tho right!!.

[@hybrid32494]

hey bro! Whats up! Glad you liked all that, it was lots of talking, but it had to be said. Ofcourse if you watched some other RC channels they would make it seem like you just run the nitro at full throttle as soon as you take it out of the box, LOL. You know, not reality..

@@hybrid32494 so true and they dont tell you to not run it out of gas.

[@713Ace529]

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!. 👍

[@hybrid32494]

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!!!

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!

Sup bro! what's up! Traxxas 4 life bro! And yet so many people hate on traxxas, right. I sued to also have a 4tec 2.5, was not my favorite. Always has drive belt issues at the time, weird because the same 3 belt drive setup in my RS4 never gets messed up .

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.

[@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.

The issue is not the break in method. It is the rod on the 3.3 they are garbage. We need an aftermarket source to make a better 3.3 rod. I love the 3.3 I did 4 heat cycles out of the box and then let her rip no problems. Use the bones 20/12 blend and plan on brewing my own.

just bought one a week ago can you do a vid on how to fix the brakes out the box comes with lil to no brakes

[@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.

Yes please! Was gonna comment on the jato vid about how my rustlers brakes were also terrible. Figure this out, nitro gang needs this fix! Keep it up 👍

[@nighthawkj30A4]

Either The Nitro Rustler Or Jato 3.3 is what I’m get soon amainHobbies has them.

[@favulus1]

how do you stop the wheels from spinning like that on startup

[@isaiahfurrow7414]

If you were going to get one of these or the nitro slash, to race... aside from maybe radio/servos, and battery pack for the radio gear... and maybe the pipe... what things would you think needs some upgrade or spares? I'm thinking steering components...

Bro I hit my brand new jato into a curve yesterday but lucky it just a front bumper I was upset but no damage on the body

[@monte19770]

Hybrid32494 just did a brake mod video for the JATO. The way Traxxas made the brakes work is a poor design. I highly recommend you watch his brake mod video and do the same thing to yours.

[@therccelebrityspeedfresh5393]

@@monte19770 yeah man I’ve noticed it my old jato did the same thing cause is to slow the speed down and it was hitting on the gears that’s crazy and I bet it can cause damage to those gears right? Again thank you for posting that it means a lot

[@monte19770]

@@therccelebrityspeedfresh5393 no, the post hits the transmission case and doesn't allow the brakes to operate properly. Hybrid32494 flipped the bell crank upside down and positioned the other end facing toward the engine. Just watch his brake mod video and you will understand better. I on the other hand....didn't think about flipping the bell crank upside down and bought the dual disc brakes from Hot Racing and spent $40 if I remember correctly. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e361n5l3edl-adU I found the video.🏁

Isn’t the traxxas nitro sport just the same car body with just a different engine

[@hybrid32494]

hey buddy! You know ,that is exactly what I thought previously too. I have a nitro sport, and showed it in another video. Turns out the nitro sport is significantly cheaper made than the nitro rustler. Other than the Pro 15 engine it's got a half aluminum and half composite chassis, and also no bell-crank steering. So significantly cheaper made.

[@TechTiger1007]

I bought a Nitro rustler from Ebay about two years ago. Can you help identify what parts are on it. How do I join your gang?

[@hybrid32494]

hey buddy! thanks for watching and your comment. Join this FB group, I'm the Admin, you could post pictures there and the NitroGang will for sure help you out my dude!

[@mikaelottosson175]

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.

[@brianespo22]

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

[@TheInvisibleOrange26]

Did you follow the manuals break in instructions or did you do it your self if so please do let me know

[@timothyrose3166]

Hi I have a nitro rustler it has been sat for a long time I have tried my best to get it running but cannot get it going
