Both the Traxxas X-Maxx 8S 4WD RTR Monster Truck Combo w/4S 6700mAh & SINGLE Charger and the Traxxas Slash XL-5 2WD w/TQ 2.4GHz Radio are Excellent RC vehicles. They both have great speed and handling, and they are both very durable. The X-Maxx is a bit more expensive, but it comes with a lot more features, including four-wheel drive and a longer run time. The Slash is a great value for the price, and it is still a very fun RC vehicle to drive.
