The properties of a wide variety of growing models, generically called $X/RD$, are studied by means of numerical simulations and analytic developments. The study comprises the following $X$ models: Ballistic Deposition, Random Deposition with Surface Relaxation, Das Sarma-Tamboronea, Kim-Kosterlitz, Lai-Das Sarma, Wolf-Villain, Large Curvature, and three additional models that are variants of the Ballistic Deposition model. It is shown that after a growing regime, the interface width becomes saturated at a crossover time ($t_{x2}$) that, by fixing the sample size, scales with $p$ according to $t_{x2}(p)\propto p^{-y}, \qquad (p > 0)$, where $y$ is an exponent. Also, the interface width at saturation ($W_{sat}$) scales as $W_{sat}(p)\propto p^{-\delta}, \qquad (p > 0)$, where $\delta$ is another exponent. It is proved that, in any dimension, the exponents $\delta$ and $y$ obey the following relationship: $\delta = y \beta_{RD}$, where $\beta_{RD} = 1/2$ is the growing exponent for $RD$. Furthermore, both exponents exhibit universality in the $p \to 0$ limit. By mapping the behaviour of the average height difference of two neighbouring sites in discrete models of type $X/RD$ and two kinds of random walks, we have determined the exact value of the exponent $\delta$. Finally, by linking four well-established universality classes (namely Edwards-Wilkinson, Kardar-Parisi-Zhang, Linear-MBE and Non-linear-MBE) with the properties of both random walks, eight different stochastic equations for all the competitive models studied are derived.
