Comparisons
Both the LaTrax 1/18 Desert Prerunner 4WD Electric RTR RC Truck and Traxxas T-Maxx 2.5 4WD Nitro RTR Monster Truck are great options for those looking for a fun and fast RC experience. The LaTrax is an electric truck that is ready to run right out of the box, while the Traxxas T-Maxx requires some assembly and is fueled by nitro. Both trucks are four wheel drive and come with a remote control, but the T-Maxx also includes a transmitter. The LaTrax isa bit cheaper, but the T-Maxx is faster and more powerful.
