Comparisons

The Traxxas Maxx 4S RTR Brushless 4x4 RC Monster Truck is a more powerful and higher-performance RC truck than the Traxxas Slayer Pro 4x4 Nitro RTR Short Course RC Truck. The Maxx 4S has a bigger, more powerful brushless motor and comes with a wider range of electronic speed control settings. It also has an aluminum chassis for increased durability, adjustable shocks for better handling, and larger wheels and tires for increased stability. The Slayer Pro is less expensive and comes with a nitro-powered engine, but it doesn't perform as well as the Maxx 4S in terms of speed or power.
