Comparisons
There are a few key differences between the LaTrax 1/18 Desert Prerunner 4WD Electric RTR and the Traxxas Unlimited Desert Racer 4WD Brushless RTR RC Truck w/LED Lights Factory-Installed. The LaTrax has a smaller width and length, making it more maneuverable than the Traxxas. It also has a slightly higher top speed of 30 mph vs 25 mph for the Traxxas. The LaTrax comes with NiMH batteries, while the Traxxas uses LiPo batteries. LiPo batteries tend to be more powerful and have a longer lifespan than NiMH batteries. Finally, the Traxxas comes with LED lights installed, while the LaTrax does not. This may be important for driving at night or in low-light conditions.
