Traxxas Rustler VXL ???

[jato1229]

Looking at a traxxas rustler VXL for my son. What's this truck run (mph ) out of the box. All stock with stock battery?

Probably around 40, if you swap the 8.4v battery with a 7.2v it should drop down in the 30s. You could also put it into training mode which will limit the speed to half, so you would have 50% forward/reverse with 100% brakes. The best would be to do the training mode, if that's still too fast grab a 7.2v and still use training.

Should have stated he has a eletric stampede now. He wants more power.

The Speed with the VXL Rustler can be just about anything you want depending on how you set it up. Torque vs Speed that is.
