Comparisons

The Traxxas Rustler 4x4 VXL RTR Stadium Truck has a lot more torque and speed than the Traxxas Sledge 6S 4WD Brushless RTR Monster Truck. The Rustler also has a longer wheelbase which makes it more stable at high speeds. The Sledge is a bit more nimble due to its shorter wheelbase but is not as fast or powerful as the Rustler.
