Comparisons
The two RC Trucks being compared are the ARRMA 2018 Kraton 1/8 4WD 6S Brushless RTR and the Traxxas Stampede XL-5 2WD RTR RC Truck w/ID Battery & Quick Charger. They are both similar in that they are both ready to run (RTR) right out of the box, and they both come with an included battery and charger. However, there are some key differences between the two. The ARRMA Kraton is a 4WD truck while the Traxxas Stampede is only 2WD, meaning that the Kraton will be able to handle rougher terrain and be more versatile overall. The Kraton also has a brushless motor, while the Stampede has a brushed motor; brushless motors are typically more powerful and efficient than brushed motors. Finally, the Kraton comes with a 6-cell battery pack while the Stampede only comes with a 4-cell battery pack; this means that the Kraton will have more power and run time than the Stampede. In general, the ARRMA Kraton is going to be a better RC truck than the Traxxas Stampede, but it is also more expensive.
