Definitely a good looking truck, and yes definitely paying for the licensing on the body, but I get it with the multiple bodies..I do the same thing, especially with a nice body...But I like them to look nice while on the shelf 👍👍
I snagged one too, at the sale price I think it’s actually decent value. I love the long wheelbase, it is easy to rotate making for very satisfying drifts on pavement. Very cool truck, I prefer the way it drives over the slash and it looks waaayy better. Great video and overview
I would have liked to do what you did and started with a roller. But shipping to Canada is crazy atm, and I find the chop shops have gotten really expensive lately.
That is the one thing I like about this is; that it is a mostly scale off-road go-fast RC that's modeled after a regular production truck...as opposed to a hand fabricated race truck. Sure I love the scale short course trucks and desert trucks that found their way into RC, but this Raptor R is just a nice option to have out there.
@JasonPerrinRCVlogs 😱 Well that is just ridiculous! Just get a stock black body, they have to be much cheaper. Then the Fox body stays nice for the shelf
The 4tec 2.0 hot racing battery strap upgrade also fits the raptor r 4x4. It was a huge pain trying to find a battery expander that would fit lol. Hopefully this helps someone else.
It looks great. I like the Raptor. I think the Motor from the Hoss with 2400kV is better fot the Raptor. ESC original 3s but Motor 4s from Hoss and a cooler for the ESC. Wait for your tunings :-). Love you greetings from Germany
A cool looking truck, but you're so limited to the body shells you can use, it's also less stable at speeds. I'd spend my cash on the standard version and a proline shell
I love it. I just wish the fender flares were molded. It looks like with all the other molded bits they would have done that.

Solid unboxing for a solid truck💪

Truck looks awesome, they look really good with the pro scale lights / Raptor lights 👍
Thanks for the video !
Traxxas Raptor Reskin Fox Edition with the same 15 year old chassis. 👍
Looks pretty good! I would want another body so that it still looks nice on the shelf
That's what I want to do. The thing is. The whole truck cost me $550. And to get a Fox body from the ebay chop shops will cost me $250 shipped. :/

@ I’ve looked. Little cheaper, but not much. I’m in no rush to run it with winter here. So I’ll just keep looking until a deal appears.
Never liked anything traxxas, both engineering and style, but this body.. that’s an exception!
I've been looking at this. I like the scale look
Definitely a cool looking truck 🔥

Absolutely awesome collection, looks like you're gonna have to go design yourself.Another man cave, specifically for you and your rc's.
I found the sweet spot for mine was blue springs front and rear, and softer tires are a game changer. The stock tires are a bit hard.
The fox body edition is discontinued. I wasn't interested in this truck until I saw this body. Great review 👍👍
I put a BL120 combo in. It blows the drive shafts into twisted licorice bits. But upgrade those and its good.
They still don't have a "Universal Controller", that should tell you alot about Plastic, i mean Traxxas!!!
I keep thinking about getting one of these being that I own a Gen 1 Hennessey Raptor.
They look like fun!
I love this truck a very fun truck .
Tabarnak! 👌

I purchased a Raptor R when they had first went on sale. Not even 2 weeks later I picked up a VXL-4s ESC and 2400kv motor. This thing is a beast now!
I thought the old fox trucks came with fox suspension?
I swapped the power system from the stampede with my raptor
They have the Fox Edition RaptoR on the Traxxas site i just looked today. Maybe they just put it back up.
I think it's still down. I had noticed that the mobile website still had it up.
Looks very good 🙂 but the motor looks like a baby on that chassi. Is it a 3650 motor? Maybe it performs well with that setup 🤔
I say build it up put a standard body blue or red
You think that looks nice , take a look at what TRACTION HBBY have to offer
My slash 4x4 has 6s traxxas system.
And the servo is exposed on the bottom of this Platform, "C'mon Man"!!!
So basically your doing a video on a body not the truck since it's still just a freaking slash right? This video could have been a 4 min video!!!!
i wouldnt swap the motor . i have the slash with the 3s setup and it runs perfect not over powered but does every bit of 55 all day long .

Overpriced garbage.
How.. HOW IS THAT GARBAGE. BET YOU CANT EVEN BUY IT
Buy another body!👍
