The Traxxas Unlimited Desert Racer 4WD Brushless RTR RC Truck w/LED Lights Factory-Installed is a more expensive and higher quality RC truck than the Traxxas Rustler 4x4 XL-5 Brushed RTR Stadium Truck w/Battery & DC Charger w/ LED LIGHTS. The Desert Racer has brushless motors for increased speed and durability, as well as LED lights for better visibility in low light conditions. The Rustler does not have brushless motors, and its LED lights are not as bright. Ultimately, the Desert Racer is a better RC truck overall, but it comes at a higher price.
