Comparisons

The first difference between the two RC Trucks is their size. The Kraton is 1/8 scale while the Sledge is 1/10 scale. This means that the Kraton is larger and will be able to go faster and over more obstacles. The second difference is that the Kraton comes with a brushless motor while the Sledge does not. This means that the Kraton will have more power and be able to go faster. The third difference is that the Kraton comes with a 6-cell LiPo battery while the Sledge comes with a 7-cell NiMH battery. This means that the Kraton will have more power and run time, but it will also be more expensive to replace when it eventually wears out. The fourth difference is that the Kraton comes with a dual charger while the Sledge only comes with a single charger. This means that you can charge both batteries at the same time with the Kraton, which can save you time in the long run.
