Cant answer the advantages to disadvantages performance wise. Looks to have the same chassis and the electronics as the SCX-10 stock, but the axles are different. Not sure if the tranny will be different? I honestly think we'll have to wait and see the truck in person before we (general public) can really give a opinion of one to the other. Looks killer though. Thing I really like is it comes stock to look like a Jeep Tuber... I'm sure too they'll have it setup so it's more capable a crawler than the honcho or dingo.
