Comparisons

These two Traxxas RC Crawlers are both very good. The Maxx 4S has more power and is better for crawling over rougher terrain, while the TRX-4 is more nimble and better suited for tighter spaces. Both are great RC Crawlers, so it really depends on your preference as to which one you would choose.
