The Traxxas 1/10 Summit 4WD RTR Monster Truck w/TQi is a more expensive and high-end model than the Traxxas T-Maxx 2.5 4WD Nitro RTR Monster Truck w/TQ 2.4GHz. The Summit includes features such as a better radio system, longer battery life, and more power. It is also easier to control thanks to the four-wheel drive feature.
