    The reason you can't get the speed rating is because you are using the center differential. There is a plastic disk that holds a magnet that attaches to the spur gear. The center differential doesn't allow for that part.

      No it isn't. I spoke to Traxxas and they said that it's a bug in the app. I downloaded an older version of it, and I get the speeds showing on my Rustler Ultimate.

      ​@LifebyDesign slipper has friction pads that will wear and need to be tightened occasionally. Diff will have fluid in it that can act as both lubrication for the gears, and controll how much resistance there is. Some people like it loose to aid in handling. A loose slipper would wear out after just a few runs. Long story short, reliability and tunability.

The VXL rustler four-wheel drive is so Savage but if you're going to spend the money and get one you can might as well go with the ultimate it comes with everything you're going to want to do to a bone stock VXL Rustler and it looks phenomenal super slick design love the tires.

    Traxxas is a good company man. I have 4 of their cars and I have an Arrma Infraction V2. The Infraction and the E-Revo 1.0 are two of my favorite 1/8th and 1/7th scale electric brushless onroad touring car and truggy combos. The other 2 are the Stampede 4x4 Vxl and the Rustler 4x4 non ultimate Vxl. I also have a Losi Vaterra V100 1/10th brushless converted touring car. It’s a 1972 Chevy C10 orange pickup truck slammed. It comes with a headlight kit which is awesome. I wish most of the Traxxas and Arrma cars would come pre equipped with lights rtr out of the box.

I stayed inside and played video games for almost a year because of the stress and what I felt the heat was doing to me at times. Sometimes I would go out there and play for 10-30 minutes then all a sudden I would feel symptoms of heat exhaustion with a rapid pulse rate and anxiousness up the ass. I would normally stick through it and continue running my RCs but I had a day when my stomach started to feel nauseated and I felt I had to cut it short.

With the sway bars, different tires, better shocks and metal in places where is would tighten up some of the movements that plastics give, an educated guess would be yes. Even though it does not come with the diff stock, the installation of the diff would give a little more control to the front of the RC.

      @ReadySetRC I agree for sure that it seems like definitely better than the vortex but just the price is pretty crazy. Even when you compare it to their 1/8th scales which aren't that much more it just seems like they inflated the price a bit too much for a small rc. I think they know that their fanbase will buy it no matter the price. But in fairness it seems like it's a common theme in the hobby now with the prices across the board getting out of hand. I just think $429-$449 tops would be more appropriate for this rustler.

    Traxxas is sadly missing the mark with these ultimate editions. I dont think not 1 of them is worth the high price. At 450 you can get the Outcast/Kraton 4s that has fans and a center diff. I do like they changed the wheelie bar the original jammed up in the body and shredded it I just took mine off it wasnt worth having it for the damage it was doing. At least Arrma raised the mud guards on the front my Rustler has the screen bag you literally have to have it that tub chasis collects so much crap. Its a great rc I think they need to work on improving stuff not adding metal and focus on lower cost rc's because Arrma gave them the finger this year they hit out of the park. Just my 2 cents I own a little bit of everything I dont have a favorite

    • @ReadySetRC

      @L2theWcarscoffeelife Like you, I have a little bit of everything. I guess for me I wasn't comparing this to an Arrma or anything else outside of the Traxxas brand when it came down to the decision to buy. I was going to buy this or the Stampede BL-2 and upgrade it. I like the HD parts on the BL-2 and prefer the plastic over metal but taking into the fact I've never owned a Rustler or a Stampede the Ultimate was the way to go. For each person the decision factors are going to be different. For me it was going to be a Traxxas, just ended up being the Rustler Ultimate.

      @ReadySetRC the rustler is a good vehicle its fast and durable mine has taken a few high speed hits into the garage lol. At that price point especially for the ultimate there should be fans mine would go into thermal so fast its pathetic. Definitely look into a screen cover for the chasis if your in any type of dirt it will fill up fast and when you add fans stuff will jam in there quickly. Its a great rc you should have fun with it.

    The sad thing about this recent "Ultimate kick" that Traxxas is on is that, while these vehicles are absolutely gorgeous to look at, they're actually making them LESS durable with all these aluminum upgrade parts. On top of that, the dollar amount that they are quoting in 'upgrades' is nothing but a "marketing lie". Yes, if you add up the retail price of all upgrade parts included, they will add up to the amount that Traxxas isstating...but, what they purposely don't include when they're telling consumers this is the value of all the parts they removed...which, in the end, means that the dollar figure they are quoting and upgrades is far greater than the ACTUAL value of those upgrades. Adding another layer to that, it would be interesting to know what the manufacturing cost is of the parts removed, as well as the upgrade parts installed, as that would show the cost difference is even less than what they're claiming.
    All of that said, while it definitely is good to upgrade certain parts, upgrading all of the parts that they are adding not only drastically increases weight, but also puts excessive strain on the vehicle, as well as the electronics. One truly needs to think carefully when deciding what upgrade parts to install. Typically, I put upgrade parts into three classifications - performance, handling, & aesthetics. Obviously, the first two are the most important, unless one is building a "shelf queen"...and, unfortunately, when I look at these latest "Ultimate" vehicles from Traxxas, what I mostly see is upgrades primarily installed for their 'aesthetics'.

      You wrote a lot but your definitely 100% right . There's too many options out there for the size, power, and price . The average person ain't gonna buy this car over a 4s arrma at the price .

      @@Shellzwick Exactly. And, for far less...be it Traxxas or Arrma...one can purchase a roller from an "RC chop shop", add the best/proper (ie. NOT go 'overboard' on "bling") upgrades, and install their choice of Castle/Hobbywing/etc electrics. Heck, going this route, it's even possible to end up with a vehicle that better than, AND have it cost less than, the 'standard' version. Using my X-MAXX as one example, my final out-of-pocket cost was less than $200 more than a regular X-MAXX...and, I have Castle electronics, M2C & Vitavon 7075 & hardened steel parts, etc. Anyone can easily build their own "ultimate" version of any RC, and save money while they're doing it.

    Great review thanks I love this truck especially after watching your video on it. I don’t think I’ll buy one. Although I’ve thought of selling my current truck just alone for that green haha 😂. My vxl 4x4 rustler has some upgrades such as the front and rear red trx aluminum front steering/ rear carriers, red trx chassis center tower to tower brace and the led kit on the newer red/blue body. I did install aluminum blue wheel nuts and the upgraded wheelie bar also. I’ve got some nitro rc cooling fans on the Esc and motor and it runs great. I do however plan on getting some of those Gravix tires, blue gtr shocks and the sway bars and center diff from Jenny’s rc hopefully. I use my rustler mostly around the yard it’s a perfect size to bash around. 👍🎅🏻🇨🇦. Happy New Year to you!

    Buy a Arrma 3S vxl. It comes with the front and back steel diffs , 17 hex all terrain exelent wheels , the drive shaft sistem is MUCH better designed , it wont brake like the traxxas does ! And you can buy the slipper clutch eliminator for $13 . Much better car by far and $150 less !!!

      @eduardonessim4499 I'm guessing your new to the channel, welcome. I've owned every Arrma 3s and 4s BLX minus the Granite and the Kraton 4s. Some I've owned the v1 and v2 of. I've even owned some of their brushed vehicles, also the 2wd versions. All vids up on RUclips. I would compare this to only the Vorteks in their lineup and as much as I like that RC, it did not give me the same experience on the first run. It didn't even come close until I threw a 4s system and even then it felt like a one trick pony. As for breaking, all RC's break. I broke most of those 3S and 4S except the Vorteks(which I drove it more street that dirt) and the Vendetta.

I owned a 3S traxxas slash , i did the same thing and in 5 mins the drive shaft melted the back part where it joins the diff box. Arrma is a much better quality brand than traxxas all the way ....

      Arrma 3s don’t come with metal diffs,you have to buy them for 100 bucks,also they come with 14mm hex not 17..and I own a granite 3s and no way can you run it on 3s at 100% without it breaking axles or the wheel rolling off with the axle shaft still attached…well I guess if you have all those upgrades you name then is it even still an Arrma?
