Is the traxxas rustler vxl waterproof and how fast does it go?
No it is not waterproof. No RC is waterproof unless it states that it is. It would be very hard, time consuming and expensive to make it waterproof.
It's 1/10 scale and these usually will not top over 35MPH even with high end motors and graphite parts. Out of the box you are looking at 15-20 MPH depending on motor and battery and speed control.
Your battery selection has a high impact on determining speed.

Is the traxxas rustler vxl brushless rc car any good?
Apr 02, 2009 by Gay Whale | Posted in Hobbies & Crafts
im interested in getting an electric rc car. im thinking of a stock slash or a rustler vxl. im only interested in the stock slash cuz i hear alot about durability and the water proof engine etc. but im also interested in getting the rustler vxl because i can get it pretty cheap and it sounds like a good fast car. but is it durable? give me some pros and cons about it? what kinda maintenance is needed?
i would get rustler xl-5 over vxl. reason being is that unless you want to dump $100 on a lithium charger and over $100 per battery pack, it is too expensive. the rustler, slash, and stampede are all very durable. i never broke a single part on my stampede and that was with letting my non rc friends try and crash into things. i had a xl-5 stampede which i sold after a year intending on getting a vxl, but then i realized that it wasnt gonna be much faster if i used the same batteries, i would have to invest a couple hundred dollars in batteries, instead i bought a team losi aftershock(1/8 scale nitro monster truck)
in case you didnt know, the rustler and stampede are nearly the same.
the slash, rustler, and stampede are all waterproof in xl-5 form. if i were you, i would get an xl-5 vehicle and buy a couple 7-cell packs. i believe that you have to have 7 cell hump packs on the stampede and i assume it is the same on the others but im not sure. i only had 6cell packs and felt it needed just a bit more power. try to get 7 cell packs that are close if not above 400mAh
Pros for vxl:extremely fast with correct batteries, car itself isnt too expensive
Cons for vxl: expensive batteries, expensive charger, you need some experience to control an rc car going upwards of 60 mph
Pros for xl-5: inexpensive car, reasonable batteries, reasonable charger, WATERPROOF, beginner friendly.
Cons for xl-5: ummmmmmmmmmmmm, after a year it may seem slow but if you have 7 cell battery its ok.
i dont know about vxl maintenence but i had to adjust gear mesh 2 times on my stampede but that is very easy to do. it doesnt get too dirty because it is electric

Traxxas Rustler Vxl with Talon Tires Gearing?
Feb 26, 2008 by Isaac J | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs
What pinion gear should i use with Talon tires? Traxxas said a pinion gear 4-5 teeth smaller....but the only pinion gears I can find fall outside that range. The stock gear is a 25 tooth, the only gears i can find are 23 and 19 tooth gears...what should i get?
23 is better then 19 Okay
