Comparisons
The LaTrax Desert Prerunner and the Traxxas Slash 4x4 Ultimate Short Course Truck are both great RTR (Ready-To-Run) electric RC vehicles. They're both pretty fast, too - the Desert Prerunner can reach speeds of up to 18mph, while the Slash 4x4 can hit 60mph with a 3S LiPo battery! Both trucks are 4WD (four wheel drive), which is great for off-road driving, but the Slash 4x4 has an extra advantage with its waterproof electronics. This means you can take it out in all kinds of terrain and weather conditions, without having to worry about damaging your truck. The Desert Prerunner comes with a 2.4GHz radio system for precise control, while the Slash 4x4 uses Traxxas' TQi system with advanced features like Bluetooth connectivity and telemetry. If you're looking for a more sophisticated RC experience, then the Slash 4x4 is probably the better choice. However, if you just want a fun and fast truck to bash around in the backyard or local park, then either one would be great!
