Which is better for beginners?

The MJX. It costs $112.99, comes RTR with a 2S battery and charger, and is simpler to fix. The Rlaarlo's sensored system and detailed body are better once you have some driving time.

Is the Rlaarlo worth the extra $237?

Yes if you want a 1/10 rally car with a sensored motor, 3S power and a realistic body. No if you just want fast bashing on a budget, where the MJX does the job for a third of the price.

The MJX is rated at about 41-45 km/h on 2S. Rlaarlo does not publish a top speed, but the 3652 3300KV motor on 3S should beat it.

Which lasts longer per charge?

The MJX is rated at about 9 minutes at full speed on its 2000mAh 2S pack. Rlaarlo does not publish runtime, so carry spare packs for either car.

Which handles rough ground better?

The MJX is a monster truck built for dirt and gravel. The Rlaarlo is a rally car with limited ground clearance, so it suits smooth dirt and asphalt better.

Which is easier to repair?

The MJX is cheaper to fix and its parts are simple. The Rlaarlo uses 7075 alloy parts and sensored electronics, which cost more to replace.
