Traxxas Ford Fiesta ST VXL Brushless 1/10 Rally RTR Orange

Description

The Traxxas Ford Fiesta ST Rally VXL (orange body) is a high-performance 1/10 scale 4WD brushless rally RC car designed for extreme speed, precision handling, and legendary Traxxas durability. Powered by the Velineon® VXL-3s brushless system, this rally car is capable of 60+ mph speeds when paired with a 3S LiPo battery, delivering explosive acceleration and professional-level performance.

At the heart of the model is the Velineon 3500 kV brushless motor combined with the VXL-3s waterproof electronic speed control, providing smooth throttle response, high efficiency, and outstanding reliability. The ESC supports 2S and 3S LiPo batteries as well as NiMH packs, allowing drivers to choose between balanced performance or maximum speed.

The shaft-driven 4WD drivetrain ensures excellent traction across asphalt, gravel, dirt, and mixed surfaces, making the Traxxas Ford Fiesta Rally VXL ideal for realistic rally driving. Oil-filled steel gear differentials distribute power efficiently while the oil-filled Ultra Shocks™ suspension absorbs bumps and rough terrain for stable high-speed driving.

For enhanced control, this model includes Traxxas Stability Management® (TSM) which helps maintain directional control during acceleration and braking on slippery surfaces without reducing power. Drivers can adjust assistance levels directly from the transmitter, allowing smooth powerslides and confident cornering.

The officially licensed Ford Fiesta ST rally body features aggressive rally styling with detailed graphics and a durable composite rear wing. The innovative clipless body mounting system keeps the body secure during intense driving while making battery changes quick and convenient.

Durability is further improved by the Extreme Heavy Duty Upgrade Kit, which includes reinforced suspension components and heavy-duty driveshafts designed to withstand aggressive driving and jumps.

Whether you are racing on pavement, sliding on gravel, or blasting across dirt tracks, the Traxxas Ford Fiesta ST Rally VXL delivers thrilling rally performance with professional-grade brushless power.

BL-2S vs VXL – What’s the Difference Between the Traxxas Ford Fiesta Rally Models?

The Traxxas Ford Fiesta ST Rally BL-2S and Traxxas Ford Fiesta ST Rally VXL may look almost identical, but the main differences lie in their power system, speed, and electronics. Both models are 1/10 scale 4WD rally RC cars, built on the same durable Traxxas platform, but the VXL version is designed for significantly higher performance.

Power System and Motor

BL-2S model

• Equipped with the BL-2s 3300 kV brushless motor
• Designed primarily for 2S LiPo batteries
• Focused on smooth performance and durability

VXL model

• Equipped with the Velineon 3500 kV brushless motor
• Uses the VXL-3s electronic speed control
• Supports 2S and 3S LiPo batteries for much higher performance

In simple terms: BL-2S = balanced performance, VXL = maximum performance.

Top Speed

• Ford Fiesta Rally BL-2S – around 30 mph (≈45 km/h)
• Ford Fiesta Rally VXL – 60+ mph (≈100 km/h) with a 3S LiPo battery

This means the VXL version is dramatically faster and more powerful.

Electronics and Control

BL-2S Version

• TQ™ 2.4 GHz radio system
• BL-2s waterproof ESC
• Simple and beginner-friendly setup

VXL Version

• TQi™ 2.4 GHz radio system with multifunction knob
• Traxxas Stability Management® (TSM) for improved control
• VXL-3s ESC capable of handling higher power levels

The TSM system helps maintain stability on slippery surfaces while still allowing controlled powerslides and aggressive driving.
