Traxxas Rustler 4X4 1/10 4WD RTR Stadium Truck (Blue) w/TQ 2.4GHz Radio & iD Battery & Charger

Hobbytown and Traxxas customer services continues to be great no matter who I've talked to. When I first bought the rustler 4x4 xl5 and it said rtr out of the box, j thought it would come with the wall charger instead of a car charger, but is nice to have the car charger so you don't have to look for a wall outlet at the park or cut your play time not being able to recharge. I have the nihm batteries that came with my rustler 4x4 and slash 2wd but also baught 2 lipos that make it a lil quicker and fun. Now I have upgraded my rustler 4x4 to a velineon vxl-3 combo and a 3s lipo and having the time of my life. Some say they only get 10-15 min out of a charge and not sure what they're doing wrong. Even on the 7 cell nimh pack I get about 20 min runtime and with the 2s lipo about 25 close to 30 min of running. And found that no matter the 4amp charger for the nihm pack or a traxxas ez peak plus charger, only takes about 45 min to charge. Thank you Traxxas and Hobbytown for giving this 46year old disabled man who takes care of his 90 year old Grandmother something to sit in my yard and have something fun to do and getting me back into the hobby since I have to sale my motorcycle so I stay at home, which I road to toys for tots, fallen veterans and raising funds for Arkansas children's hospital. But now I need to stay home incase anything happens, I'll be right here for her. Would LOVE to get ahold of a new Traxxas Hoss and give my slash to an expecting child at the park. But it's a lil more than I can afford. That's why i didn't buy the rustler 4x4 vxl. I got the xl-5 last year when I finally met my dad for the first time in 46 years and he felt he owed me something and I told him he doesn't owe me a thing. But he was insistent on giving me a lil $ so he in actuality baught my rustler as first gift to me. I've spent almost as much making it a vxl as I did to buy it to begin with. That's why I'm trying to figure out how to get the Hoss vxl because now I have batteries and chargers, so all I would need is the truck and controller. Maybe one day. Sorry for the story. But kind of answering other qs people may have on the charger and time of running.

this will mark my 9th traxxas product so far im beyond satisfied with the brand i had a nitro rustler 4 slash 2 electric rustlers one mixture of bandit and rustler snd this new style rustler i always been in the rc game ever since i worked for ofna rc racing when it was around

I love this car I will say when I got brushless I never regretted it, It is wonderful. I would like to know if I could get a 3 cell lipo to fit in the existing chassis.By the way I got a red body.( just saying its no different but in my opinion it looks cooler than blue.) Just opinion.

My first rc car in over 10 years i went to the tampa location and the staff there was super helpful took the time to explain everything to me and how times have changed from the good ole nitro days to more electric now. we went through many different models to start with and ultimately settled on this kit as it was literally almost ready to run from the box minus a home charger. and i also picked this brand because of how easy and readily available parts are. thanks hobbytown.
