Comparisons

The LaTrax 1/18 Desert Prerunner 4WD Electric RTR RC Truck is a great choice for those looking for an RC truck that can handle off-road terrain. The Traxxas Rustler VXL Brushless RTR RC Truck w/TSM (no battery/charger) is also a great choice for those looking for an RC truck that can handle off-road terrain. Both trucks come with four-wheel drive and brushless motors, making them capable of conquering any terrain. However, the LaTrax truck has a longer wheelbase and wider track width than the Traxxas truck, which gives it better stability and handling on rough terrain. The LaTrax truck also includes a rear skid plate and front bash bar to protect the body from damage, while the Traxxas truck does not.
