Comparisons

Both the Traxxas Slash XL-5 2WD w/TQ 2.4GHz Radio and the Traxxas Slash RTR 1/10 2WD Short Course Racing RC Truck w/Quick Charger are great remote control trucks. Both come with a powerful motor and battery, making them great for racing or just playing around in the backyard. The main difference between the two is that the XL-5 comes with a 2.4GHz radio, while the RTR does not. This means that the XL-5 will be able to communicate with Other RC vehicles that use a 2.4GHz radio frequency, while the RTR will not. Other than that, both trucks are very similar in terms of performance and features.
