Comparisons
Both the LaTrax 1/18 Desert Prerunner 4WD Electric RTR RC Truck and the Traxxas Nitro Slash 2WD RTR Short Course RC Truck with TSM are great remote-controlled trucks for off-road racing. The LaTrax truck is smaller and lighter than the Traxxas truck, making it more maneuverable. It also has a shorter wheelbase, which makes it more stable on rough terrain. However, the Traxxas truck has a more powerful engine and can reach higher speeds. It also has a longer wheelbase, which helps it maintain its speed on long straightaways.
