Comparisons
Both the ARRMA 2018 Kraton 1/8 4WD 6S Brushless RTR and the Traxxas Maxx 4S RTR Brushless 4x4 RC Monster Truck are high-performance, brushless RC cars that can reach speeds of over 50 mph. The Kraton has a slightly higher top speed and comes with a more powerful motor, but the Maxx has a wider track width for increased stability and comes with a more advanced suspension system. Neither car is significantly better than the Other, but the Kraton may be slightly better suited for experienced drivers while the Maxx may be slightly better suited for beginners.
