The Traxxas Slash 4x4 VXL Brushless RTR Short Course RC Truck w/ TSM is a more advanced RC truck than the Traxxas Rustler 4x4 XL-5 Brushed RTR Stadium Truck w/ Battery & DC Charger w/ LED LIGHTS. The Slash 4x4 has a brushless motor that provides more power and speed than the brushed motor on the Rustler. The Slash 4x4 also comes with Traxxas Stability Management (TSM), which helps to keep the truck stable and under control at high speeds. The Rustler does not have this feature. Both trucks are ready-to-run (RTR) and come with batteries and chargers, but the Slash 4x4's battery is stronger and will provide longer run times. The Slash 4x4 is also equipped with LED lights, while the Rustler does not have this feature.
