Comparisons
The LaTrax 1/18 Desert Prerunner is a smaller, more nimble RC car than the Traxxas Hoss 4x4. It's not as powerful or as rugged, but it is less expensive and easier to control. If you're looking for an RC car to race around your backyard or neighborhood, the LaTrax is a great option. If you're looking for an RC car to tackle rougher terrain, the Traxxas Hoss is a better choice.
