The Traxxas Unlimited Desert Racer 4WD Brushless RTR RC Truck w/LED Lights Factory-Installed is a superior RC truck to the Traxxas T-Maxx 2.5 4WD Nitro RTR Monster Truck w/TQ 2.4GHz in every way. The Desert Racer is faster, more durable, and has more features. The T-Maxx is a good truck, but it can't compete with the Desert Racer.
