i just picked mine up yesterday it’s nice and fast and looks super realistic but i’m kind of disappointed it didn’t come with the long can maxx motor or even a completely new 4s system especially for the price your getting a 3s truck and not even a full light kit
Great review thanks guys a very in-depth look at the truck. Definitely need an esc cooling fan and motor would be good too. I do this on my rustler 4x4 and haven’t had a lot of issues since with heat. I like this truck it looks like it’s fun to drive. I might get one since I don’t have a slash and like the realistic look. I think for the price I would have liked to see clear or actual tinted windows, and a full light kit in the body itself. That red looks better then I thought it did in pictures 👍
Awesome honest and in depth first look review of this thing. It looks great the body and quality of build I’m not sure how much it costs but I have one fast rc car the hyper go rally car it goes the same speed but a little smaller than that, for 150 it came with dual fans on esc and motor, which really help, and 3 sets of tires including drift plastic ones. I know u guys are traxxas runners but I think this review was nice and genuine. Ps I do love traxxas but I’m on a big budget nowadays
Love the intro guys! Haha Gosh i wish they would upgrade all the models with clipless bodys! I been usin velcro for my bodys that itll work with, just got a bug body for my slash ultimate and i love how it doesnt collect dirt anymore and it doesnt seem to catch air. However i live in AZ and even with 2 motor fans with heat sink an an esc fan i can only drive hard an bash for like 10 mins on 3s at most. Only been in the hobby for about 8 months but ive got a nice collection and even made a lil track in the front yard. Id like to get my hands on those new tires n see how they do. Nice vid guys!
Hey 3x7 Outdoors! Great meeting you on the street in Princeton! That was a good unboxing and tutorial and run with the new Traxxas Raptor! I can't believe the didn't have a fan on the esc for cooling with the bigger size in chassis and wheels is seem kinda chintzy on the body and electronics! I just subscribed to you guys channel!🤔😉👍📹💯✔️👋👋👋
I got the blacked out edition and love it! Great video btw. Edit: : 3:04 so did the TRX-4 Sport High Trail Editions. I attempted to put one on the Sport Edition and immediately said "screw this" and put it back on the paper with the other decals. They put all of the other decals on, what is 4 more? Not like it was a choice thing either, they do not ask if we want the other decals on. So once again, what is 4 more? I think they knew they were a little tedious and said, "Leave those for the consumer to bother with". Will be ordering the fans for motor and ESC.
Great video gents! I bought two and have been having a blast since Friday. Dont forget to tape up the bodies for tire wear (I made a video showing where on here) and they FOR SURE need cooling mods. Have yet to make it through a full battery before they thermal. Its over 105* out though and we are driving them hard. Have ordered Slash 4X4 cooling kit which I think will make the truck excellent. Have fun guys! Also I have no clue where those other two stickers go. Nobody seems to know yet. lol
Great video guys! I might consider buying it but sense it seems to overheat easily I’ll probably wait to get one until Traxxas installs cooling fans in.
At the price of $530 Traxxas should have made the body a lot more realistic and with skid plates ???? This trucks price should have been more like maybe $400 !!!!!!!!
Good play time,but...🙄it will over heat for 3 hours till shut down..😮💨/ Needs high power fan for cooling because of heat of the weather!😅 Good review!😉
I got mine and it’s cool but it’s nun that special the main reason I got it was beacuse it’s a raptor. It’s fast and all but the suspension isn’t that realistic, it doesn’t have a lot of travel and I wish they came out with a pro scale light kit with the amber lights and I hate the fender flare stickers tbh
@@3X7Outdoor well not for nothing i have had a ton of slash and found with out the right gear setup running a 3s will cause a over heating issue drop to a 2s you will get more run time
Yeah, I’m totally fine getting some shitty shafts as long as I’m paying a reasonable 300 and something dollars not Losi Baja ray price. Seriously so much wrong with this truck at this price point it’s honestly disgusting.
Ooohhh... Those fender stickers are a disappointment.!!.. They look the same as (what used to be 😉) on my Slash Raptor 2wd.!? Along with the lack of fan, too weak motor/ESC, painted windows, basic shocks, lack of full lights... Especially when Traxxas expect us to pay at least £550 here in the UK.. I absolutely want one though, all those little things can be sorted out.... But it's highly unlikely that I will ever own one. I simply cannot justify that price.!! Traxxas are so hugely overpriced it's ridiculous... Here's a few examples... A TRX4 costs £620 A Hoss is £500, A Wide Maxx £600. Sledge £750 Even a basic 2wd Slash XL5 brushed costs £290.! It's not just Traxxas though, Losi & Axial are insultingly over priced in the UK too.! It's not entirely their fault because the UK is just such a highly taxed country.. There's a 20% VAT & 20% import duty... Also, since China is a "developing economy" 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 they get huge tax breaks on importing, shipping & selling their goods... Saying that though... Other American RC manufacturers can compete with reasonable prices, Associated/Element especially.. They're no more expensive than any other brand. So I'm sure Traxxas, Losi & Axial could find a way to be less gready... 🤔 Hmmmmmm... Perhaps Traxxas could save some money if they hired fewer lawyers.? 😉 😉 😂 😂 I truly appreciate it when people like yourself show us EVERYTHING, both good & bad.!!! 👍 👍 👍 👍 Thank you for a really great review guys..

Another body change and claim it’s a new product from traxxas. Traxxas is a joke. It’s a slash an inch longer and a different body. Guy calls it quite a bit different 😂😂🤦♂️ it’s a slash with beefy drivetrain which should come standard but traxxas needs to sell junk and upgrade parts. This is a joke at best.
@@maniac1628 you have to use the vehicle more than 5min and your servo will die… and I like my rcs fast and powerful… traxxas crap overheats and anyone will tell you it’s the worst in the business
ok so if you watched the video you saw that we put a battery in the car and drove it around which ultimately shows that they're not as useless as you'd think
What an intro. 🎉🎉🎉
Your video content has gotten better and better

Hi from Germany, I really love your channel! You are my first choice if I am looking for news around RC!
Awesome! Thank you!
That overheat seems to be an issue, what's the ambient temps where u r ? Love the look and performance parachutes a little
it was about 87° that day

The backwards jumps looked nice
yep!
Ive heard people r replacing the esc with a maxx esc,this will prevent overheating even while running the bigger pinion.
stay tuned.. just might happen

I'd really love to see a comparison between the raptor and the fiesta vxl :)
When’re you guys posting a video of the cooling fan install ? Just ordered mine - super excited!
we're doing a little more than just a cooling fan... stay tuned
Fun video to watch
great!
Your dry humor is pretty funny lol

thanks for the great comment!
Try getting in the way of a Max Slash, I guarantee it would more than hurt, it’ll probably tear your leg off 😂
👍👍video, Nice rc truck but should have fans on motor and controller for pro scale and better price
crzy upgrades coming soon!
Can’t wait for the next vid, btw do you recommended it as a first car?
not if you're trying to deal with overheating problems 😂
for a first car i'd go for a slash ultimate or if you're responsible enough, a sledge
@@3X7Outdoor ok thanks I’ll tell you what I get 😅
I thought the slow blinking red light meant your battery voltage was low.
Hello, is it possible to swap longer chasis from f150 to my old 2wd slash ? I mean, i want buy r150 chasis and f150 body and replace! 😮
i'm quite sure it is possible
@@3X7Outdoor Thank you
There hood luvers
yep
Great video guys! I might consider buying it but sense it seems to overheat easily I’ll probably wait to get one until Traxxas installs cooling fans in.
Just buy the fans
Hmm..now I'm wondering if I want that. It's pretty cool though.
it sure is
Catch and release I see
😂

The Ultimate a better truck. And the new pan has to pay for its tooling. Premium price for sure
its got a ton of power + traxxas likes to make money

Grate vedio guys, but very disappointed that traxxes did not put a heat sync, and when the body drops sound awful 😮
yes true
Love the intro ! Compared to losi new scale baja rey this truck just doesn’t do it for me nice review though
Fair enough!
Are you 3s in that
yes sir
@@3X7Outdoor well not for nothing i have had a ton of slash and found with out the right gear setup running a 3s will cause a over heating issue drop to a 2s you will get more run time

Oh I got that. And I beat you to it. I got metallic blue
bet you didn't, we had it the 2nd

Just saying those stick on mud graphics on the real raptor are dumb. It's kinda cheapish an expensive truck 😮😕
truth
Traxxas electronics are useless
Really because I’ve never had any problems whatsoever with their electronics 🤔

@Rckid28 I disagree. My Slash 4x4 VXL rips, and I've only recently replaced my servo because I wanted something quicker for racing. Old one was fine.
same way with us
