Comparisons
The LaTrax 1/18 Desert Prerunner 4WD Electric RTR and the Traxxas Slash XL-5 2WD w/TQ 2.4GHz Radio are both great RC cars. They both have great reviews and are very popular. The main difference between the two is that the LaTrax has four-wheel drive while the Traxxas only has two-wheel drive. The LaTrax is also a bit smaller than the Traxxas. Both cars are great for beginners and experienced RC car drivers alike.
