These are both high-powered, ready-to-run monster trucks that come with everything you need to get started. The main differences are in the top speed, the size of the wheels/tires, and the type of suspension. The Kraton has a top speed of 100+ mph, while the Sledge is only rated for 70+ mph. The Kraton also has larger wheels and tires (4.5" vs 3.8"), and a different suspension setup (4-link vs 2-stage). Otherwise, they're both brushless, 4WD, and come with batteries and a charger included.
