Comparisons

Both the ARRMA 2018 Kraton 1/8 4WD 6S Brushless RTR and the Traxxas TRX-4 4WD Crawler Kit w/2S Batt & Charger are great options for anyone in the market for a high-quality, ready-to-run crawler. Both models come with everything you need to get started, including a battery and charger, so you can hit the trails right away. Here's a closer look at how these two models compare: Performance: Both the Kraton and the TRX-4 offer impressive performance, but the Kraton has a slight edge thanks to its 6S brushless power system. The TRX-4 is no slouch, though, and its 2S power system is still plenty capable of handling anything you throw at it. Durability: Both models are built tough, but the TRX-4's steel frame sets it apart from the competition. The Kraton's plastic chassis is no slouch either, but it can't match the strength and rigidity of steel. Price: The TRX-4 is significantly cheaper than the Kraton, making it a great choice if budget is a concern. That said, you do get what you pay for with the Kraton; its higher price tag buys you more performance and durability.
