The Traxxas T-Maxx 2.5 4WD Nitro RTR Monster Truck w/TQ 2.4GHz has a more powerful engine and can reach higher speeds than the Traxxas Slash 4x4 Ultimate Short Course Truck & 60MPH 3S LiPo Combo. The T-Maxx also has a better suspension system for off-road driving and jumping. However, the Slash is easier to control and maneuver, and its shorter wheelbase makes it more agile. The Slash also comes with a faster charger for its LiPo battery, making it ready to race sooner than the T-Maxx.
