The Traxxas Unlimited Desert Racer and the Traxxas Slayer Pro 4x4 are both top-of-the-line remote control trucks. They are both brushless with LED lights, and they both come with a battery and charger. The main difference between the two is that the Desert Racer is a bit faster, reaching speeds of up to 50+ MPH, while the Slayer Pro maxes out at around 35 MPH. Both trucks are great for off-road racing, but if speed is your main priority, then the Desert Racer is the better choice.
