The Traxxas Maxx 4S RTR Brushless 4x4 RC Monster Truck is a much more powerful and capable machine than the Traxxas Rustler 4x4 VXL RTR Stadium Truck. The Maxx has a brushless motor that provides significantly more power and torque than the Rustler's brushed motor, meaning it can handle rougher terrain and bigger jumps. It also has four-wheel drive for increased traction, while the Rustler is only two-wheel drive. The Maxx also comes with a bigger battery pack, providing more run time between charges. Finally, the Maxx's WideMAXX suspension system gives it a much smoOther and more comfortable ride than the Rustler's jarring ride.
