Comparisons

Though both the Traxxas X-Maxx 8S 4WD RTR Monster Truck Combo and the Traxxas Rustler 4x4 VXL RTR Stadium Truck are designed for off-road racing, there are several key differences between the two models. The X-Maxx is a much larger truck, with a longer wheelbase and wider track width. It also has more ground clearance, making it better suited for rough terrain. The Rustler 4x4 is lighter and more nimble, making it better suited for tight turns and agile maneuvers. Both trucks come with powerful brushless motors, but the X-Maxx has nearly double the torque of the Rustler 4x4. The X-Maxx also includes a second battery and charger for extended run times.
