The slash / rustler have always had that problem with the shocks my guess is the battery was fine without fans on the motor and esc it throttled back as it was getting hot this is another common problem with this platform nothing that cant be easily fixed gtr shocks are a bit expensive but so worth it as is a screen bag for the chassis to keep it clean
Awesome, I still got the first Ford raptor they came out with 2 Wheel Dr. dark gray only things going wrong is the steering servo ain’t drove it in a while. Appreciate the video catch you on the next one until then peace and chicken grease 😁👍👍😎
It's an awesome looking truck, but when companies make things SO scaled down it's tough to fully appreciate the suspension and overall looks of it unless you watch it in slow-mo. When you do though, it actually looks like the real thing! Otherwise another good vid!
@@rcguygarage ok gotcha. I know I had the issue when I was running my Rustler on 3S. I was wondering why the battery was dying so quick, realized the esc was overheating without a fan lol
Needs GTR shocks and Upgraded Spring and it will be so much better I drove it at my local hobby shop and I really like it on dirt track must be even better on 3s
I just wanted to say that how can you not figure out how to put a shock retainer back on, you had to have someone at the hobby shop do it for you? And by the way since you are an rc TH-camr you should know how to fix that
Go try and put that raptor R body on a slash or slash 4x4. It won't fit. Chassis is 2" longer, tired are bigger, suspension components are much better, they did improve on a decent amount of things.
Minus the spring cup popping off...that just looks a fun truck
Traxxas should have put the fan on the motor and ESC

You have to add in shock spacers on the stock shock to stiffen it up and avoid chassis slap
So do you still need the swaybar
Guy I like your hobby shop it is cool I like to see more of it's Guy
Was it maybe the esc going into thermal rather than the battery dying?
It might have been a toss up between the two but the red light was "slow flash" indicating low voltage cut

Thermal shut down need ESC and Motor fans and solved overheating issues
Nice! It has BFGoodrich A/T tires.
KO2s
im thinking of getting the raptor r or the rally fiesta st vxl ?? what u guys think ??
Tough question because both units are pretty cool and they're basically the same thing to an extent
Give it the beans Earl !!! 😅😂

Boom 🎉 looking good
Awesome Truck !!!!!!
Is it original speed or modification

It's a nice truck. But i don't believe I'll be adding this to my collection. Mainly because I have a Slash. Two of them actually.
You don't need a bigger pack you need fans to keep the ESC and motor cool so it doesn't overdraw colder is more efficient
Install sway bars
My wife has the Fox body 4x4 Slash, how is this in comparison to that ? I believe this is Traxxas answer to Losi Ford
the Sl4sh VXL is nearly the same thing, although the longer wheelbase of the Raptor R probably provides a different driving experience from the Sl4sh.
@@FRSNinja_007 Thank you , we were wondering if she should get this or just buy the body for her 4x4 rustler
@@Bluecuban71 You can’t put this body on a Rustler 4X4 without a ton of mods
@@FRSNinja_007 that's the plan , im going to use a different chassis that I have . Thanks for your help 👍

For speed test your better off in front of your house. With your driving style you need a skid body protection 😂😂
😳ROOF SLIDE KING over here GUY😜🤣😂
Welp you just sold one to me lol
😂lost your clip
Is it a slash? Guess you can’t read it’s literally in the name slash raptor . WTH
Just heavy duty bigger tires and longer wheelbase
old body on an old platform. calls it a new car
And some like to live in a closet with no windows and lock the door 👍💯

Fans baby that's all I need
Traxxas upgrade parts
Everything likes to be blowing on
Real cars have fans don't they
Yo guy I love your work. Thanks I always learn something new about rc.I'm also fr ma.dorchester.i worked next to Foxborough stadium
