The Traxxas Maxx 4S RTR Brushless 4x4 RC Monster Truck is a more powerful and advanced RC truck than the Traxxas Rustler XL-5 RTR 1/10 RC Stadium Truck. The Maxx 4S has a brushless motor, which gives it more speed and torque than the XL-5. It also has 4-wheel drive for better traction and stability, and comes with a lipo battery for longer run times. The Rustler is a good entry level RC truck, but it can't match the performance of the Maxx 4S.
