Which is better for dirt and gravel?

The Rlaarlo XTS-S10. It is a 1/10 rally car with rally-tuned suspension, soft-compound tires, mudguards and a foam front bumper. The Losi is an asphalt late model built for smooth surfaces.

The Rlaarlo should be faster. Its 3652-3300KV sensored brushless motor runs on up to 3S, while the Losi's brushed 380 motor tops out around 20+ mph on 2S.

Which lasts longer per charge?

The Losi publishes about 20 minutes of run time on its 1400mAh 2S LiPo. Rlaarlo does not publish a run time, and a 3S brushless setup usually drains a pack faster.

Is the Rlaarlo worth the extra $115?

Yes if you want brushless power, 3S capability and rally suspension for off-road use. No if you mainly run on pavement and want waterproof electronics and simple USB-C charging.

Can I run either in wet conditions?

The Losi lists a waterproof ESC/receiver and waterproof servo, so light splashes are fine. Rlaarlo does not state water resistance for its electronics, so keep it out of water.

What else do I need to run them?

Both are ready to run with a battery included. The Losi also needs an 18W+ QC 2.0/3.0 USB power adapter for its charger. Rlaarlo's listing does not specify a charger.
