Comparisons

The Traxxas X-Maxx 8S 4WD RTR Monster Truck Combo is a more powerful and rugged option than the Traxxas T-Maxx 2.5 4WD Nitro RTR Monster Truck. The X-Maxx has an extra two wheels for increased traction and stability, as well as a more powerful motor that can reach higher speeds. It also comes with a larger battery and charger, making it ideal for extended play sessions or for those who want to upgrade to a brushless power system down the road. The T-Maxx, on the Other hand, is a bit lighter and nimbler than the X-Maxx, making it easier to maneuver around tight corners. However, it doesn't have quite as much raw power or torque, so it may not be able to keep up with the X-Maxx on open stretches of terrain.
