When it comes to rock crawling, both the Traxxas TRX-4 Chevy K5 Blazer RC 4x4 and the Traxxas TRX-4 Ford Bronco 4WD are great choices. The K5 Blazer offers a bit more ground clearance and a wider track width for increased stability, while the Bronco has a smaller body which makes it more agile. Both trucks come with 3S LiPo batteries and are ready to run right out of the box.
