Default 1/18 RC Purchase Help Needed

Hi guys I have if you could please post your opinions on my question it would be greatly appreciated.
The car is for a type of competition where once we modify the car it will be used to push another "car" out of a 4 ft x 4 ft square ring.

The parameters for the car is 30 cm x 30 cm (11.8 in x 11.8 in), is no more than 2.5 kg and runs on electricity. Budget really is not an issue about $1000 or so.

I visited two local hobby stores both gave me differing opinions one suggested the Losi Mini-LST 2 and the other suggested the Losi Mini-Rock Crawler.

Basically here was the package for each of them

Losi Mini-LST 2 with 2 brushless motors and tire and battery upgrades.
For the Rock Crawler they suggested 28 turn motors and battery and tire upgrades. And to make sure that the crawler doesn't crawl over its opponents a "cow catcher" of sorts would be built.

So my question is disregarding price which would be the better car for the competition. The Crawler or the LST 2? Thank you very much guys.
