I have done quite a few custom builds over the years and whereas this one isn't the best at anything I think it's my favorite. It is absolutely stunning to look at!
Once again great video man, honestly better info and guides than much larger channels. No reason this channel shouldn’t have 1M subs yet. Thanks for another awesome vid
I suspect this channel won't ever get that big just because there are fewer people who want to see technical deep dives than want to see cars just getting smashed up but I'm okay with that. I like my audience :-)
The smiles on my face as you presented the final product, and immediately went to bash-mode, was PERFECT from a tension-release philosophy. This is such a good build!
Fortunately it's relatively straightforward. The hardest part is cutting out the body to fit around the spur cover but I'm terrible at that sort of thing and I was able to do a halfway decent job :-)
Yeah I suspect they are. If you look at the Nerf bar mounts there's actually unused one between the two that are used on the Fury and I'm guessing that's for a smaller Nerf bar.
Dude! What a cool build! As someone not aware of the raider the last video was awesome for some rc history. Awesome content your attention to detail is unparalleled
@DoRC I have tried masking a body off and having different colors with sharp lines once and it ended horrible. From then on all I mask are windows because I just suck at it.
Cool build and well done! Looks like a fun project! Reminds me of my first RC buggy, the Tamiya frog. It didn’t perform quite that well though…😂 Great video!
@vicchin1314 Cool though it will be quite a bit shorter than the XL and unless you can find more narrow arms It probably won't quite be the right proportions for a buggy. This is already a little wider than what you would expect.
Yeah I had it in mind pretty much right away but didn't take the concept seriously until I saw how many people wanted to see in the comments from my other video.
@@DoRC I don’t suppose you’d happen to know where I could get some spare front and rear A arms would ya? All I can ever find are RaiderXL arms, not true narrow track 1/10 raider arms. And I’m not sure how I feel about doing a wide track raider
Dude that was an awesome video. So cool to see how close to OEM you got. I wouldn't be surprised if this is exactly how Arrma would have done it lol. Such a fun video to watch
Yeah I'm sure they'll do the body mounting differently and probably have a cool cage around the cockpit area but I would be willing to bet if you took mine and said it next to whatever they come up with they'll probably be pretty similar
Bro I was looking for an arrma raider for some time and I love that you did this build. I thought I was the only one who was still into these dune buggies. Every buggy that looks like the Baja 5B is awesome. Thank you man
Go for the fury. The Gorgon is a short wheelbase high center of gravity chassis and would not be ideal for a buggy. If you want to do a smaller buggy like the regular raider get the vortex
Very cool, young man. Very cool. Might be time for me to do your build as a speed car. Those Fusion Pros are no joke. i run them in a lot of smaller bashers and most of my crawlers.
@@DoRC I most def. will. I own 8 Arrma vehicles including all three Groms and im currently transforming a 1/10 Granite to wider and 4s, so this sounds like a plan. 😎
Congratulations on building your very own unique RC! 👏💪 Looks great and super fun! Send Arrma the instructions and a proposal of royalties (?) contract. 😝
That's a fantastic looking RC build! The attention to detail is impressive, especially on the body. A rear-wheel drive setup is always a recipe for fun. It looks like it's ready to hit the track. Enjoy putting it through its paces!
Have found using door or window foam sealing strips with sticky on one side are fantastic at sealing bodies onto cars. You can also put little pieces where you can see contact being made where bashing. Makes them a lot quieter, and if you put a strip on the bottom edge a lot less stones and debris get in.
Really cool build!! Hey man just a quick tip, you should pigtail your wires to make them tidy. They won't be flopping around plus it looks really cool. Aloha from Maui 😎🤙🏽
Awesome build. So cool. If I had the skill and resources to build that, the only thing I would do different would be the old school spiked tires on the rear.
Those would be awesome. Honestly the tires I put on there aren't the best as they don't get great traction. Instead of old school pins would probably be better. It's actually a fairly easy build. The only thing you really need any special equipment for are the 3D printed parts and you could technically have those printed by a service for not that much money.
Wow 👌 👏 😍 👍 looks super good I like when ya do builds like this I think that's what sets ya apart from other youtubers doing these builds don't think I've seen any do stuff like this....
I'm glad you enjoyed. I love doing stuff like this and I've been doing similar things pretty much my entire adult life. I think this is one of my favorite builds though :-)
Glad I was able to obtain an original XL but I'm so glad to see this being done, after seeing the gorgon chassis I was hoping to soon see a remake, Definitely saving this video to try and make one and stack it up against the original
Another premium custom build. I remember when the Raider first released, and I was put off from buying one because the screw count and the speed controller being buried in the roll cage. I should at least given it more than passing glance, looking back in hindsight.
Bro i have to say i absolutely love your videos! I never leave comments. I think this is my first one ever. Just had to tell you to keep it up. Also, do you have a part number or link to that reinforced spur gear slipper assembly? I have an arma fury, just wrecked the body so I think I might need to try this
*_Very well done!_*
_This custom build came out sooo freaking good! Really goes to show your creativity level is off the charts!_
Thank Glad you enjoyed!
This is seriously one of the coolest kitbash/custom builds I have seen. Well done, now I want one.
I have done quite a few custom builds over the years and whereas this one isn't the best at anything I think it's my favorite. It is absolutely stunning to look at!
Not gonna lie, one of the best looking custom builds I've seen. Well done Sir. 😊
This is by far my favorite build!
At the moment my absolute Favorite Rc Channel. Allways cool videos that I didn’t see coming
Thanks man Glad you enjoy!
Once again great video man, honestly better info and guides than much larger channels. No reason this channel shouldn’t have 1M subs yet. Thanks for another awesome vid

I'm glad I was able to release your tension at the appropriate time :-)
YES.!! 👍 👍 👍
Arrma MUST make this RC.!!!
While they're at it, a 4S Felony based on the Mojave 4S platform would be nice too.! 😉 😉
I suspect they will at some point.
Arrma c'est de la merde et beaucoup beaucoup trop cher
32 pitch and 0.8 mod is the same thing@DoRC
@@Lucas.stalcup Not quite. Mod 0.8 is actually 31.75 p So whereas they do work together they aren't identical.
Is that grease on the pinion and spur gear@@DoRC or is that rust?
I absolutely love this build. The raider xl is one of my all time favorite rc’s ever!
It's a pretty sweet rig! Thanks for watching :-)
Really nice video. I enjoyed the entire process. No matter how long we are in the hobby, there are many more tips we can pick up.
Thanks!
I've been in it for over 20 years and I'm still learning every day :-)
Bruh, this is soooo dope! As a buggy fan and an Arrma fan, I cant stop smiling! Well done sir!
Yeah I think it came out better than I expected!
Love this build. I love my Raider as well. Now I have to go get stuff to make the 2024 xl version...lol. Thanks man
Fortunately it's relatively straightforward. The hardest part is cutting out the body to fit around the spur cover but I'm terrible at that sort of thing and I was able to do a halfway decent job :-)
Your timing on this build is IMPECCABLE!! I know they gotta be working on this!
Yeah I suspect they are. If you look at the Nerf bar mounts there's actually unused one between the two that are used on the Fury and I'm guessing that's for a smaller Nerf bar.
Outstanding Build my friend! Truly, if I was wearing a hat, I'd take it off to you!!
I'm glad you enjoyed!
Daaaamn you nailed that bud!!! 😁😁😁😁
It's definitely one of my favorite builds.
Nice job you really brings things next level with 3d printing, so many different aspects to the hobby,
Even my colors my bike has same scheme so I often paint bashers red/white , are you going to keep this one ☝️? You should .
Yeah it definitely makes a lot of things possible that wouldn't have otherwise been.
No I'll probably be selling this one.
Dude! What a cool build! As someone not aware of the raider the last video was awesome for some rc history. Awesome content your attention to detail is unparalleled
Thanks Glad you enjoyed :-)
goddamn dude! i think thats my favourite custom build so far 🤩
awesome that you share this so everyone can build this themselve! 💙
Glad you enjoyed!
Awesome build! That paint turned out great.
Yeah it definitely looks better from afar than up close but within my skill level it turned out just fine!
@DoRC I have tried masking a body off and having different colors with sharp lines once and it ended horrible. From then on all I mask are windows because I just suck at it.
@@Nerm78 Yeah that sounds about like how it usually goes for me. This masking job definitely had plenty of blemishes.
Now that was a wicked build ! Hopefully Arrma watch and do it too ! Nice one mate 🔥🔥🤘🏻
If I had to guess I would imagine they already have a raider design in the works but no way to know for sure
Cool build and well done! Looks like a fun project! Reminds me of my first RC buggy, the Tamiya frog. It didn’t perform quite that well though…😂 Great video!
Yeah it's a pretty awesome buggy!
This came out spectacularly! Great work and thanks for the quality RC content
Glad you enjoyed and thanks for watching!
That is truly amazing work. Well done.
Thanks I think it came out really well!
Always so inspired by your builds. This one is definitely the most inspiring
Are you going to make one?
@@DoRC yes planning on one now. But maybe using the vorteks swb chassis.
@vicchin1314 Cool though it will be quite a bit shorter than the XL and unless you can find more narrow arms It probably won't quite be the right proportions for a buggy. This is already a little wider than what you would expect.
Dude, best RC RUclips channel since RC Sparks was posting regularly. Keep rockin’
Those are some pretty big shoes to fill but I'll keep trying :-)
You beat me to it!! I have been gathering parts for this build. Great job, it looks awesome.
Let me know how yours goes!
The Raider XL is back, thanks to you. It looks awesome!
Yeah I think it came out really well!
Awesome build. I liked learning the Arrma history also with the vintage Raider video
Thanks glad you enjoyed!
Hell yeah bro!!! Great build. Copyright that.
Nah. Free for all :-)
This is got to be one of the best buggy conversions I've seen, and the paint job is top notch, subbed
Thanks man. I'm definitely not the best painter in the world but it looks good from 3 ft away :-)
I knew once they brought out the lwb chassis this was begging to be done. Excellent job and awesome look on the paint job 👌
Yeah I had it in mind pretty much right away but didn't take the concept seriously until I saw how many people wanted to see in the comments from my other video.
Really nice build! I like that you modeled your own parts to print. 10/10
Yeah printing other people's models is great but things really open up when you can design your own parts.
“Vintage” I think I felt my spine aging
You and me both man.
@@DoRC I don’t suppose you’d happen to know where I could get some spare front and rear A arms would ya? All I can ever find are RaiderXL arms, not true narrow track 1/10 raider arms. And I’m not sure how I feel about doing a wide track raider
man i love this channel you tell us all the info your excited about what your doing you give us tips.this is awesome.
I'm glad you enjoy. I love doing this stuff and I love sharing with you guys!
Oh wow this one is very good! Like production worthy 🙌
Yeah it came out better than expected.
Awesome job..!! Turned out sweet! 👏🤟
Yeah it came out way better than I thought it was going to!
Love your teaching style.

Awesome build. ARRMA you need to make this a reality
I suspect they will eventually.
You 😂are so fun to watch and learn 😅
Glad you enjoy :-)
Bro I was looking for an arrma raider for some time and I love that you did this build. I thought I was the only one who was still into these dune buggies. Every buggy that looks like the Baja 5B is awesome. Thank you man
I think buggies are awesome! This one came out really good
Awesome I was wanting to do the same can’t wait to get a Gorgon and make it into a raider
Go for the fury. The Gorgon is a short wheelbase high center of gravity chassis and would not be ideal for a buggy.

It is!

Yeah it's a pretty good setup!
This looks amazing, great job and thank you for sharing your ideas, sounds like i will be building something new soon.
Go for it! It's an awesome car.

@@manski209 nice!
I hate ads but you definitely need to monetize your channel for all the work you do. Awesome build.
I appreciate that but this channel is not for profit. It's to have some fun and share it with you guys. If you guys are enjoying that's all I need :-)
Love this build. Very very Kool
Glad you enjoyed and thanks for watching :-)
Clean build, looks factory stock!
Yeah it came out really good!
Congratulations on building your very own unique RC! 👏💪 Looks great and super fun!
Send Arrma the instructions and a proposal of royalties (?) contract. 😝
Somehow I get the feeling Arma already has the formula for this one. I suspect they'll come out with their own version at some point
@@DoRC yeah, I don't doubt that either. Whenever they can call it the "new trend" again for a couple of years. 😛
@@just.jose.youtube yep

You can also put little pieces where you can see contact being made where bashing. Makes them a lot quieter, and if you put a strip on the bottom edge a lot less stones and debris get in.
Seems reasonable!

Hey man just a quick tip, you should pigtail your wires to make them tidy. They won't be flopping around plus it looks really cool. Aloha from Maui 😎🤙🏽
Not sure I understand what you mean.
Absolutely Awesome job. I had a feeling you were gonna build this💯👍😎
Yeah it's been in process since not long after the last raider video released. So many people wanted to see it I pretty much had to :-)
What a lovely project! I've been thinking about doing this for a while, so now I'm happy to see you did it so I don't have to, ha ha!
You still might want to do it It's pretty sweet!
I thought that would turn out crap 😂 but it looks awesome. Nice build
Yeah it came out way better than I expected it to.
You got my ‘subscribe’ for this build, very nice! I feel a Hemistorm repeat with the Losi RazrRey, I am sure Arrma will release this in a week or two!
Thanks!

You just motivated me to run one of my Tamiya buggys at the baseball field. Until they kick me out. Haha.
@@robertshelton2605 nice!
This is the coolest buggy ever. I need Arrma to make a Raider MEGA on the Fury chassis
I'm sure they will eventually.
Going going gone. You hit it out the park with this one
Thanks I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Looks WICKED good man! Gear mesh doesn't sound too bad from where I'm standing haha!
Yeah who knows if these are even 32P. They're made in China so chances are they're mod 0.8 and just labeled 32 p :-)
You did a nice job with that build! I wouldn’t be surprised if arrma copies you!
Honestly I would be shocked if they don't already have one developed and in process.
that came out really nice, good job buddy
Thanks :-)
Wow 👌 👏 😍 👍 looks super good I like when ya do builds like this I think that's what sets ya apart from other youtubers doing these builds don't think I've seen any do stuff like this....

Great video!! I'm building myself one!! Thanks bro.
Awesome are you going to use the 3D printed parts?
Wonderful build! The body color is very nice =)
Thanks!
Boy, Arrma ain’t got nothing on you. That thing is bad ass. Great paint job too.
Overall I'm pretty happy with it. The paint is definitely not without its blemishes but still looks good :-)
You just earned a new subscription. What a gnarly build!
Awesome glad you enjoyed :-)
Sir, you have done it. I don't know if it can get any better than what you've done. I'm already ordering the conversion parts for my vorteks.
Nice! The 3D printable bits are available on thingiverse.
Awesome! Do a Typhon with outcast arms axles and metal diffs.
I've actually done a couple of those not on video in the past. They're really sweet!
Thanks for teaching me to scribe my bodies with a razor so I can break off the excess.
Wait till you try it. You'll never go back to scissors.
Great job sir 🤙🏼
Thanks and thanks for watching!
That looks awesome my guy 👍🏽 good thing it was an Arrma build im sure Traxx… would of sued the 👖 of you😂😂
Entirely possible :-) they do like going after the little guy.
@@DoRC facts
wow great job👌😎 that rips dude 😎😎😀😀👍👍
Yeah it's pretty fun!
That paint job came out nice!
Yeah I'm definitely not an artist but I'm proud of it :-)
Your channel is growing bud! You got a shout out from TomleyRC, who has a decent following, on his recent Arrma Mojave Grom video.
I saw that! Pretty crazy.
YESSSSS💯💪 COME ON ARRMA!!!!
I would be surprised if they don't already have one in the works.
Great build vid. I just might do the same!
Go for it It's a sweet buggy!
Great build 😃
Thanks :-)

Absolutely awesome love it 🔥🔥🔥😁
Yeah it came out pretty good!
Looks and runs great
Yeah overall I'm pretty happy with it.
Love this build man!!!
Thanks :-)
Very good job.
nice Man 😊🤩👍🏻
Thanks:)
Really cool video. Yeah I think it needs geared up. Needs more power.
For me the power was just about right. I'm not the best at driving two-wheel drive and it was already pretty squirrely.
Smashed it !! 👏
Thanks:)
sick build!
Thanks :-)
Awesome!! I love it.
Glad you enjoyed and thanks for watching!
THAT is awesome.
It definitely turned out pretty well!
@@DoRC yes, indeed.
@@AegisMaelstrom14 thanks for watching :-)
@@DoRC you're welcome.
Another premium custom build. I remember when the Raider first released, and I was put off from buying one because the screw count and the speed controller being buried in the roll cage. I should at least given it more than passing glance, looking back in hindsight.
Well those are valid concerns but it was a pretty sweet car. Hard to blame you though given that it was a brand new brand.
TomleyRC gave you a great shout-out now your creating arrma cars 🤣 watch out this is how you DoRC 👍
I saw that. Pretty crazy.
Arrma does need to build these again
I suspect they will eventually.
genius, i love it!!!
Glad you've enjoyed :-)
Bro i have to say i absolutely love your videos! I never leave comments. I think this is my first one ever. Just had to tell you to keep it up.
Also, do you have a part number or link to that reinforced spur gear slipper assembly? I have an arma fury, just wrecked the body so I think I might need to try this
I don't but if you just look up RCAWD Gorgon spur you'll find it on Amazon.
Thanks for watching I'm glad you enjoy :-)
Honestly, Arrma, make this a kit.
I would imagine at some point they will release a raider but until then this one's not too hard to make :-)
