The Traxxas TRX-4 Chevy K5 Blazer 4WD RTR Rock Crawler Trail Truck and the Traxxas TRX-4 Trail RC 4x4 Crawler RTR w/Land Rover Defender Body are both great rock crawlers that come ready to run right out of the box. They both have four wheel drive, and they're both highly capable off-road. The main differences between these two crawlers are in their design and in their price. The Chevy K5 Blazer has a more traditional rock crawler look, while the Land Rover Defender has a more modern look. The Land Rover also has a slightly larger body, which gives it a little more ground clearance than the Blazer. The Land Rover is also a bit more expensive than the Blazer, but it does come with some extra features like LED headlights and taillights.
