The race roller is just the truggy so you could put our own engine and radio in. I've heard that the roller is better than the rtr.

well the roller is just the truggy with no engine, servos, receiver nor radio. You have to purchase those separately and put them in

while the rtr comes with everything

the roller has more high quality parts tho and would be the better decision if your gonna race

The engine mounts are taller to accommodate the roto start engine.

There may be a few other things but most of anything else is just color changes etc...

The outdrives are also made of cheaper material.
