Comparisons
Both the LaTrax 1/18 Desert Prerunner 4WD Electric RTR and the Traxxas Rustler 4x4 Brushed RTR Stadium Truck w/Battery & Quick Charger are great RC cars for anyone looking to get into the hobby. They both come with everything you need to get started, including a battery and charger, and they're both ready to run right out of the box. However, there are some key differences between these two RC cars. First, the LaTrax is a four-wheel drive car while the Traxxas is only two-wheel drive. This means that the LaTrax can handle rougher terrain and will be able to go places that the Traxxas can't. Second, the LaTrax comes with a Radio Controlled (RC) transmitter while the Traxxas does not. This means that you'll have more control over your car with the LaTrax, but it also means that it's slightly more expensive. Overall, both of these RC cars are great choices for anyone getting into the hobby. If you're looking for a more affordable option, go with the Traxxas Rustler. If you want more control over your car and don't mind spending a little extra money, go with the LaTrax Desert Prerunner.
