Comparisons

These are two very different RC Trucks, so it really depends on what you're looking for. The Traxxas Sledge 6S 4WD Brushless RTR Monster Truck is a much more powerful truck, with a bigger engine and more Wheelie Bar options. It's also significantly more expensive. The Traxxas Maxx 4S RTR Brushless 4x4 RC Monster Truck is less powerful, but still plenty of fun, and it's much less expensive. So if you're just looking to have some fun and don't need the absolute power and speed of the Sledge, then the Maxx is a great option.
