Manufacturer Description
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 phenomenal 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 turned off) for different surfaces by simply adjusting the multi-function knob on the TQi transmitter, or by adjusting the slider in the Traxxas Link app. The result is driving faster, with more ease, and having more fun. In fact, the driver may not even realize how much TSM is helping until it is turned off and their driving skills are tested without it!
TSM BENEFITS
TSM makes Traxxas vehicles easier to drive, particularly on loose surfaces
TSM makes driving more fun by allowing the driver to accelerate harder and drive faster with much greater control
TSM works to stabilize vehicles over rough surfaces as the gyro effect of the spinning front tires continues to "steer" when the vehicle is in the air
TSM dramatically improves braking performance by preventing spinouts
TSM allows faster cornering speeds
TSM never restricts throttle (or fun!)
TSM allows the driver to accelerate harder when exiting a turn
TSM works invisibly in the background
The driver maintains their connected feel with the vehicle
The amount of TSM assistance is fully adjustable
TSM can be turned off or adjusted from the TQi Transmitter
TSM is fully compatible with Traxxas Link
TSM does not require any complicated set up or instructions.
