IMO the best RC "baja" truck out there is the UDR. Now of course it isn't based off a Raptor, but having a Baja Rey and a UDR, the suspension of the UDR was better IMO. Was interested in the Traxxas Raptor R but will wait for a sale. Slash are cool trucks, but wish Traxxas made the Raptor R...

Sounds like a good excuse for me to upgrade to race shocks.

Yea, I remember the days prior to the Gen 2. Bought a Rogue front bumper for $900 shipped directly from them and I think their biggest bumper was ~1,400. Even ADD was under 2k for all their bumpers except for maybe those huge ones they've always made. 3.0 race shocks were like 3k total...

The national debt is meaningless and banks are too big to fail. We'll just see billions more pumped by the Fed to string it along. There was a 21 37PP with 16k miles and no sunroof. Started at 83k, think it was a 77k before it's finally sold.

I know these days with interest rates it's better to pay more down, but is there any other reason why for ~50% down other than to keep the payment low? If money is tight, to where keeping 7k in the bank would be ideal and you want a Raptor, just put less down. Maybe I'm out to lunch, but the...

Just wheels? ~1k. So list around 1,200 and sell for 1k depending on bites.

Look up posts by Biggest (can't tag him). He had a similarly built Gen 1 that he took to the track too and I remember he had a post on what combo worked the best. https://www.fordraptorforum.com/threads/custom-built-super-charged-raptor.32584/page-20edit: found the huge thread, may have to...

Hell, just start the rabbit hole of modding and put that 24k into suspension, tuning, etc... WCGW? I agree with the rest. Keep the 18. Get a beater if you want to keep mileage off it.

Yea, the family prefers the Raptor over any of SUVs we've owned. Expedition, Explorer Sport/ST, Wagoneer etc. Hell, I prefer it too. Mileage be damned.

That's not bad. My brother got charged between 700-800 for the change. Hourly rate for the dealer we know is now 200/hr

As much as I still love the Gen 1, Ford really did knock it out of the park with the Gen 2. Dare I say it was the same jump from a Gen 1 Lightning to a Gen 2. Have zero regrets going with a Gen 2 as well. Just need to install a reasonator back on the exhaust one of these days. I still see my...

Last I've seen was there was an issue getting gaskets.

Feel like that portable canopy would be the best for non HOA members in the same situation.

Ugh, that FP2 Y in black is sick. Anyone want Method Roosts in black? lol

I got a 5 & 3 year old that I take to the RC track at least once a week. The oldest started out on TRX(crawlers) and then went to a 4x4 VXL rustler and now is on a WideMaxx. He likes to do backflips with the truck now. Similar path for the youngest, but he's on 50% power on his Maxx.

My brother with the 35's has and no issues in places like Ocala which has a mix of soft, hard packed sand and some clayish material. Only have tried it out when it was dry, so not a lot of feedback on mud/wet sand. I'll ask my buddy with the 37's for any feedback.

My plan at first was to "skip" the Gen 2 and just get the Gen 3 but with prices still crazy in terms of rising MSRP, rates and ADMs I decided to buy a Gen 2. Exterior looks wise all three generations to me look great stock/modified. But I do like the Gen 2 the most in the stock look. I do...

Above are the XLT's in 37(buddy's truck). I've thought about them too in 37 as they are light weight and D load. Brother has then in the 315/70/17 size and they look good and are still whisper quiet on the street. Don't think he had any issues in sugar sand either.

Yup. I share the same opinion. Looks wise they are great. On road for anything other than dry, they are subpar. Offroad they were ok for sand/clayish materal. Only tire I think is worse was the original KO tires on the Gen 1. The tire I liked the most among my multiple Raptors over 8 years...

I run 5w-30, but anyone here outside of @Space Ghost run 0w-30?

Random bump lol Surprised that Xbox never brought in the Gen 3/TRX into the FH5, unless there was a challenge I missed. Haven't played FH5 in over a year+ and wanted to see if there was anything new. Nope.

So, lowering the truck ~1" will make it clear? Your speedo will be off a little bit the faster you go.

It's just the market in general, especially used. Feels like the 17-18's sit longer too. My 17, that I just bought, sat for 3 months till I bought it and it dropped 5k in price over that time. Have you gotten trade in offers to at least test what dealers would give?

These are niche vehicles and still carry a high demand. I personally wouldn't pay 49k but if someone wanted a damn near new/low mileage Gen 1(14 SE RR to boot) then it becomes a waiting game to see who blinks first. IIRC some real low miles have sold for MSRP prices during the COVID years...

Figure I'll just buy new ones and then flip the used ones when it comes time. Have had a hit and miss in the past with rebuilds on my Gen 1s
