The Mega Max has 4 selectable frequency bands, a removable body, adjustable spring suspension, and is about 35 inches long by 21 inches wide by 18 inches high. It's big, but this is not a hobby-grade RC so don't expect top speeds. It is a child's toy including older children who have no hobby RC experience.

The Mighty Max is slightly smaller at 22 inches x 14 inches x 12 inches. Like Mega Max it has 4 selectable bands and adjustable spring suspension. There is a hi-low gear box with differential traction and digital proportional speed control. Age recommendations are about the same as the Mega Max. Colors may vary from what you see in the pictures.
