Comparisons

The Traxxas Sledge 6S 4WD Brushless RTR Monster Truck is a more powerful and faster truck than the Traxxas Hoss 4x4 VXL Brushless Monster Truck. The Sledge has a longer wheelbase and is wider, which makes it more stable at high speeds. It also has a higher top speed and can reach 50+ mph (80+ km/h) with ease. The Hoss, on the Other hand, is not as fast or powerful and is best suited for slower, more technical driving. It has a shorter wheelbase and is narrower, which makes it less stable at high speeds. However, it does have better suspension travel, meaning it can handle rougher terrain better than the Sledge.
