Both the LaTrax 1/18 Desert Prerunner 4WD Electric RTR RC Truck and Traxxas Hoss 4x4 VXL Brushless Monster Truck RTR 3S LiPo Combo are great trucks for off-roading. Both have four-wheel drive and plenty of power to get over any obstacles. The LaTrax has a slightly higher top speed, but the Traxxas has more torque, making it better for climbing steep hills.
