This is the LaTrax 1/18 Desert Prerunner 4WD Electric Ready-to-Run RC truck with battery and AC wall charger. Built with waterproof electronics, all-metal front and rear diffs, and oil-filled shocks, the Desert Prerunner is built to last!
Before drivers compete in the world's toughest off-road races, they first get a feel for the course in a prerunner. Prerunners are street-legal monsters with huge suspension travel, fortified drivetrains, and massive power. A prerunner must be built strong enough to tackle the toughest courses, while still being manageable on the street. The LaTrax Desert Prerunner packs these race-bred features into a convenient, take-anywhere, 1/18 scale size.
Like full-size prerunners, the LaTrax Prerunner is built to be fast and nimble while being extremely durable and able to withstand the rigors of all-terrain racing action. Equipped with a powerful motor, independent suspension, and 4-wheel drive, the Prerunner is Ready-To-Race right out of the box. The all-weather electronics defeat the elementsdriving through mud, snow, and water. Oil-filled shocks soak up the bumps and jumps, and provide smooth suspension movement over any terrain.
The 2.4GHz radio system provides dependable, long-range control. The Prerunner is perfect for any age driver or skill level and comes fully assembled, painted, and Ready-To-Race with the included high capacity 7.2v NiMH battery pack with iD and convenient AC wall charger. Everything you need is included in the package. The LaTrax Desert Prerunner is Powered By Traxxas, protected by world-class Traxxas support, excellent parts availability, and the LaTrax Lifetime Electronics Warranty.
Waterproof, All-Weather Electronic Speed Control
The all-weather electronic speed control (ESC) is completely waterproof for R/C driving fun in all conditions. This high-performance ESC is packed with impressive specifications to ensure the highest level of quality and support, including the Lifetime Electronics Warranty from Traxxas.
Tires & Wheels
The Prerunner features soft compound tires mounted on red or blue rims with tough racing style. The aggressive tread pattern not only looks tough but provides plenty of grip for just about any type of terrain from gravel and dirt to wet or dry pavement.
Tough Prerunner Body with Cutting-Edge Graphics
The Prerunner comes fully painted, trimmed, and decaled for good looks right out of the box. The race-ready body is wrapped with stunning custom graphics with blue or red accent colors.
Front and Rear Bumpers
The LaTrax Prerunner features front and rear bumpers behind the body shell to provide support and absorb impacts. Prerunner's steep front and rear approach angles allow it to drive up ramps and over curbs.
Four-Wheel Drive
Four-wheel drive provides maximum traction and control on a wide range of off-road driving surfaces. An aluminum center driveshaft carries the power to the front and rear differentials.
All-Metal Gear Differentials
The rugged gear differentials use a well-proven design to balance power delivery out to the wheels for stability and control. The precisely engineered metal gears deliver rugged, efficient, and reliable performance.
Fully Independent Suspension
The fully independent suspension allows each wheel to absorb impacts without affecting the other wheels or upsetting the balance of the model. Each tire stays firmly planted for superior handling and control.
Oil-Filled Shocks
The Prerunner's adjustable oil-filled shocks with variable mounting positions provide super-smooth performance and handling. Suspension motions are damped for smooth performance over extremely rough surfaces and controlled landings over large jumps.
Bellcrank Steering
Bellcrank steering combined with the fully independent front suspension optimizes the steering response and precision. Stability and control are made rock solid as the bellcrank geometry eliminates "bump steer" that would otherwise take you off course as the suspension is compressed.
Integrated Servo Saver
The bellcrank steering system uses a "servo saver" to protect the servo gears from impacts.
All-Weather Electronics
Experience 4WD excitement year-round, no matter what the elements have to offer, with the Prerunner's patented all-weather electronics! Water, mud, and snow won't slow you down. The electronic speed control, receiver box, and high-torque digital steering servo are all waterproof to keep the racing action running in wet conditions that send other trucks back to the workbench.
Waterproof Steering Servo
Small but powerful, the Prerunner's servo cranks out 32 oz-in. of tire-turning torque for responsive steering and precise control. Waterproof, O-ring-sealed construction locks out moisture, dirt, and debris.
100% Fully Assembled and Ready-To-Explore
The 1/18 LaTrax Desert Prerunner is fully assembled with a 2.4GHz radio system, painted and decaled body, easy instructions, and an iD-equipped 7.2v NiMH battery with convenient AC wall charger.

Everything you need is in the box, even 4 AA alkaline batteries!
