EXCLUSIVE FIRST DRIVE: LaTrax Rally

RC Car Action has the exclusive First Drive on the LaTrax Rally in the September issue (officially on sale July 16, but you may see it sooner depending on where you pick up the mag). Here's the short version: this is a tough, fun, fast car. Its top speed of 17mph on the included 5-cell NiMH pack is fast enough to impress, especially for the first-time drivers the car is aimed at. Additional LaTrax batteries are offered as 6-cell packs, which boost speed to 20mph. Add the optional ball-bearing kit, and you can add another one or two mph. Our video shows the car stock, and there's plenty of power for pitching it sideways, performing stunts, and just plain tearing up the sidewalk, driveway, and parking lot. Good stuff!
