Rustler VXL combines Traxxas Stability Management® (TSM) and Velineon® extreme horsepower with the proven fun and durability that made Rustler the number-1 selling electric stadium racer. The Velineon Brushless Power System launches Rustler VXL to new heights with speeds of 70mph and beyond! Hardcore, wheel-standing acceleration completely blows everything else away. Rustler's low, wide stance provides razor-sharp handling and incredible grip with TSM keeping you in firm control. Go ahead, rip full throttle! Rustler kicks up towering roosts of mud and its waterproof electronics ensure that no adventure is out of reach, no matter how extreme!

Traxxas Stability Management Micro Receiver, TQi 2.4GHz with Traxxas Link and TSM (5-channel) (#6533) (three-quarter view)Traxxas Stability Management (TSM) makes it possible to experience all the extreme power, speed, and acceleration that was engineered into Traxxas models by making it much easier to control the vehicle on common slippery surfaces such as loose dirt, smooth concrete, and even ice and snow. Punch it off the line and TSM goes to work sensing the vehicle's direction and making steering corrections to provide straight-ahead full throttle acceleration without fishtailing, spinouts, and loss of control. TSM also works during cornering, first making intuitive corrections to maintain the vehicle's line, then hammer the throttle earlier in the turn for much faster exit speeds. Braking is dramatically improved as TSM works to keep Traxxas trucks arrow straight until they come to a complete stop. Traxxas TSM gives all the benefits modern electronic stabilization has to offer without intruding on driving fun or introducing unexpected side effects that can be found on other systems such as drastically reduced turning radius, braking assistance that times out (quits), throttle restrictions, and an overall disconnected driving feel. Traxxas engineers developed superior tuning algorithms that run on high-speed, precision electronic components to create a system that works invisibly, in the background, without ever limiting throttle. TSM can be fine-tuned (or shut off) for different surfaces by just adjusting the multi-function knob on the TQi transmitter, or by adjusting the slider in the Traxxas Link app. The result is driving quicker, with more ease, and having more fun. In truth, the chauffeur may not even recognize how much TSM is helping up until it is shut off and their driving skills are evaluated without it!
TSM BENEFITS TSM makes Traxxas cars simpler to drive, particularly on loose surfaces TSM makes driving more fun by enabling the chauffeur to accelerate harder and drive quicker with much greater control TSM works to stabilize cars over rough surfaces as the gyro impact of the spinning front tires continues to “steer” when the car is in the air TSM significantly improves braking performance by preventing spinouts TSM enables faster cornering speeds TSM never restricts throttle (or fun!) TSM enables the chauffeur to accelerate harder when exiting a turn TSM works invisibly in the background The chauffeur preserves their connected feel with the car The amount of TSM support is completely adjustable TSM can be shut off or adjusted from the TQi Transmitter TSM is fully compatible with Traxxas Link TSM does not require any complicated set up or instructions.
