Comparisons

The LaTrax 1/18 Desert Prerunner 4WD Electric RTR RC Truck is a great option for those looking for an electric RC truck that can handle off-road terrain. The Traxxas Rustler XL-5 RTR 1/10 RC Stadium Truck is also a great option for those looking for an electric RC truck that can handle off-road terrain. Both options come with a battery and charger, and both trucks have similar features such as four-wheel drive and independent suspension. However, the LaTrax truck has a longer wheelbase and more ground clearance than the Traxxas truck, making it better suited for off-road driving.
