Comparisons
The Traxxas truck is a bit larger and more powerful than the LaTrax truck, but both are good entry-level RC Trucks. The Traxxas comes with an included battery and charger, while the LaTrax does not, so that may be a consideration if you're on a budget. Both trucks have four-wheel drive for good traction in all conditions, and both are ready to run right out of the box.
