NEW Traxxas Raptor-R 4x4 Scale Basher RC Truck

The string of crawler releases has been broken and Traxxas has unleashed the exciting Raptor-R 4x4 truck! This new brushless truck is based on the Slash 4x4, but has a big change to it and they’ve added on some parts that will improve durability. In this video Greg unboxes the new Raptor-R to show you what you get in the box. You’ll get a quick peek at some of it’s features and then a performance tease as he takes it for a Speed Test!

I like that the speed pinion is included and an honest speed claim 👍The long wheelbase must be helping at high speed, short course trucks usually have issues blowing over at 50+ mph

[@rctrucks]

Yup, been there with SC, blow-overs, but there wasn’t an indication of that here. Just had to take it easy on start-up with the soft suspension. I was honestly just happy with the 3S stock gearing speed.

[@Gominola112-g9j]

How much is the battery duration?

[@FEboats]

Nice to see it actually hit 60mph, nice truck.

[@bbeckers24]

Holy cow... Did Traxxas actually tell the truth about the speed?

[@tallieWills-d7q]

I can only imagine after adding some more cool custom wheels and tires how nice its gone look

[@tallieWills-d7q]

You definitely need that to pull whatever cool drag car you have, get a nice LED light trailer, to attach to it, put your badass drag race mustang on the trailer and lets ride ...

[@19_96tyler]

I just picked mine up today. Man, I love it! It was definitely worth saving up for!!

[@Molekulasti]

Traxxas stuff always sounds so smooth.

[@rctrucks]

Indeed.

[@Nathan-qt2zi]

For the first week, then you strip the plastic spur 😢

[@mikelester5524]

Love the sound of a Traxxas 😊

[@kenrodriguez9645]

My favorite musing is all the scale guys getting into this and putting all the scale accessories onto the body that are light duty and meant for TRX4s that go 13 mph tops. I just picture this thing pulling a scale OffRoad trailer doing 60mph and that trailer flying all over the place with the scale 1:10 rooftop tent and scale trail jacks with traction boards and Jerry cans just flying all over the place. LOL

[@Epic_RC589]

Inner fenders would make it look super scale

[@SihaanShane]

That speed are amazing! 🥵🔥

[@mikehagquist5198]

Sketchy speed spot. Trees and narrow street. Good job 👍

[@rctrucks]

In my area of New England, finding a flat long strip of asphalt is near impossible. It’s sketchy, but better than nothing lol

[@mikehagquist5198]

Yea Cleveland is kinda the same. Salt and plows tear up the roads.

[@buysncharge]

You have one of the best studio sets. Like to see some collabs in the future.

[@rcplaytime]

Love this,apart from black windows, even a dark tint would be better,even so i do really like it and would love to get one 😀👍👍👍

[@NOTTApro142]

Looks amazing! They nailed the scale! But it's basically a slash

[@heffe17]

Watched the main channel video, glad to see the speed run!

[@1Almightydeez]

Yea the raptor slash deserved a reboot Traxxas should do the same with the 4tec corvette 3.0 brushless with metal upgrades

[@SebastienMongecadet-rq8vq]

Super vidéo 📼 merci

[@Emtbtoday]

My mate got the fox livery Raptor its cool as heck with the udr fox version when racing! I want get one respray it white n add decals to make a camo dude Raptor from area 51

[@randyseaver8319]

How did mark Santa Maria get a black one??? That's crazy! Watch the video! It's sweet!

[@MagnifiedGiant]

Very nice looking truck. Thank you for the quick review! Looks like I will be spending more money soon...

[@rctrucks]

Glad you liked it. There’s a link card at the end that goes to my extended video of the truck too.

[@Lucas.stalcup]

​@@rctrucksfor $530 it should come with bearings in the steering bellcrank, I bet you a million dollars that comes with bushings.

[@LonnieHutchinson90]

That thing is badass!

[@Emtbtoday]

Wish the done a 2 door shell

[@lucasblanchard47]

That’s such a cool truck, I definitely want to get something from Traxxas Someday as my first RC car. Are they still making the Mustang on road car?

[@rctrucks]

Hmm That’s been out of stock. They might have stopped making that. Which means the Raptor might be a good first car. Lol

[@lucasblanchard47]

@@rctrucks seems like it. I want something that can do a bit of everything so I guess it’s easier to drive an off road car on road than vice versa haha.

[@unkulwilly]

i dont need another RC i dont need another RC i dont nee... OH LOOK!!! a new Traxxas!

[@chrissolo8472]

By chance is the driveshaft on this raptor r the same exact length as the one that comes in the xo1 ? If so I might be in the ball park for a new improved project 😎🙌🏾

[@mikescallon4288]

I could have sworn the stock Slash VXL only did 35 mph out of the box.

[@ShadeTree_RC]

traxxas killing the rtr world i love kit builds much as the next guy but the T company sure does make some tight rigs

[@rctrucks]

Same here, kits are fun, but sometimes a well done RTR is an easy way to get right into bashing.

[@PrinceofMacedonVlogs]

awesome video. I LOVE that truck. By any chance, do you know the width of the truck? I can't find info online. Just the wheelbase and length and height

[@ChiefRickyRC]

Really cool I wonder what it's like to drive it😊

[@PortiaMatlala-zd8hd]

So nice🎉 ❤❤ were did you duy it

[@badcredentials4230]

The soy face on the preview is a bold choice!

[@SovietUnionOfficial]

this video is so cool!

[@philthyco1]

cool lwb chassis

[@daylightdies7194]

As long as the body post are a direct swap with a regular slash 4x4 I’ll just do that and the body

[@rctrucks]

You’d need the chassis and center driveshaft too.

[@andyb9994]

Wheelbase is longer on Raptor!!!!!

[@brsrc759]

Why do you have an RC driver 2 channel? why not just keep it all on one channel?

[@Jhonrey202]

How mach

[@SihaanShane]

Bro how much this I want this actually, I want this I’m confused for that’s speed🥵

[@boop12934]

its like $700

[@bond8478]

Hard to handle especially when not straight run

[@Blacklamass]

It’s a slash

[@richarddangles8896]

So basically a slash with a raptor body.

[@buysncharge]

Longer

[@karol0098]

I have nothing against Traxxas company............but someone should seriously introduce them different colors

[@rctrucks]

LOL, had that talk with someone else today too. I see they have a Black body as well.

[@buysncharge]

Krylon Fusion should work on the outside.

[@TheLilhulk1111]

A little late on this one

[@chuckbareika5478]

Too expensive

[@anonymous_message]

Not for me, buying 2

[@edwinwelch1946]

traxxas still using those garbage shocks. I dont think they ever upgrade

[@mbobby99]

motor and gears still on rear axles. This is shit as it is similiar to Slash 4x4 and will eat all bearings on driveshaft and clutch over and over after some time of use. This will cause eating receiving gear as well. Traxxas does this to buy this plastic gear over and over. This is a faulty construction.

[@rmb1]

It’s not worth $530

[@lowellray2397]

Really? "Speet test"? You do know there is an EDIT feature, right? Spelling mistakes are totally LAME

[@willmoore5550]

You're disabled if you spend $529.99 for a 3s rig.
