Comparisons
There are several key differences between the LaTrax 1/18 Desert Prerunner 4WD Electric RTR and the Traxxas Hoss 4x4 VXL Brushless Monster Truck. The first difference is in their size, with the Hoss being significantly larger. This size difference is reflected in their weight as well, with the Hoss coming in at nearly twice the weight of the LaTrax. The Hoss also has a more powerful brushless motor, which gives it an advantage in speed and torque over the LaTrax. Finally, the Hoss comes with a 2.4GHz radio system while the LaTrax only comes with a 27MHz system, meaning that the Hoss will have less interference and better range.
