Comparisons

The Traxxas TRX-4 Deep-Terrain Traxx Trail RC 4x4 Crawler RTR is a better choice for those looking for a more serious off-roading RC vehicle. It is more expensive, however, it is also more durable and has more features designed for hardcore crawling. The Traxxas T-Maxx 2.5 4WD Nitro RTR Monster Truck w/TQ 2.4GHz is less expensive and still a great choice for those looking to have some fun with their RC truck, but it won't stand up to the same abuse as the TRX-4 Deep-Terrain Traxx Trail RC 4x4 Crawler RTR.
