Comparisons

Both the LaTrax 1/18 Desert Prerunner 4WD Electric RTR and Traxxas Slash VXL Brushless 2WD RC Truck w/TSM are great options for anyone looking for a fast, fun, and durable RC truck. Both trucks are made with high-quality materials and boast impressive speeds, making them great for racing or just bashing around. With that said, there are some key differences between the two that should be considered before making a purchase. The LaTrax is a bit smaller than the Traxxas, making it better suited for indoor use or tighter outdoor spaces. It's also cheaper, so it may be the better option for those on a budget. However, the Traxxas is faster and more powerful, making it the better choice for those who want to really let loose with their RC truck.
