Comparisons

Both the LaTrax 1/18 Desert Prerunner 4WD Electric RTR and Traxxas Rustler XL-5 RTR 1/10 RC Stadium Truck are great options for anyone looking for a fun and fast RC vehicle. Both trucks come with everything you need to get started, including a battery and charger, so you can hit the ground running. The LaTrax truck is slightly smaller than the Traxxas option, but both are still plenty fast and fun to drive. The LaTrax truck has four-wheel drive for added traction and stability, while the Traxxas truck has rear-wheel drive for more responsive handling. Both trucks have adjustable suspension settings so you can tune them to your driving style, and they both come with durable construction that can handle some rough play. In the end, it comes down to personal preference which one you choose, but you can't go wrong with either option.
