Comparisons

The Traxxas Hoss 4x4 VXL Brushless Monster Truck RTR 3S LiPo Combo is a more powerful and larger RC truck than the Traxxas Rustler VXL Brushless RTR RC Truck w/TSM (no battery/charger). The Hoss has a longer wheelbase, wider track, and taller stance that deliver stability at high speeds and improved control while off-roading. It also comes with an upgraded motor and ESC for more power and performance. The Rustler is smaller and lighter, making it easier to maneuver but less stable at high speeds. It's also not as powerful as the Hoss.
