[ktm505sx]

hey what´s up guys, remember the video i posted on my shirmp farm with the yamaha rhino, it was smooth and fast on the terrain. well i put my father´s raptor to the test, right there.

IMO: as you already know i hate the stocks svt raptor suspensions and you going to see why.

i was with my father at that video. visiting the shrimp farm
i cant go faster than 25mph in the rough terrain, my father dont want to wreck his truck.

Unless you get up to speed you never allow the suspension to work properly..

Looks like a normal Raptor to me... Maybe the Raptor is not for you if you hate it so much..

You need to go faster. A lot faster!

It will smooth itself out. Maybe too much psi in the tires too.

What do you consider up to speed?

hey guys do you like that terrain? that is the closest desert i have from home 40 minutes away. it has some pretty good jumps from the walls.

When you've got water in your shrimp farm, it doesn't look like you have much margin for error... Are there other trails out that way that aren't bordered by the farm? Looks like the area has potential. Panama is pretty cool. I was in Bocas about two three years ago. Hey KTM, you know an island called Escudo De Veraguas?

I think that looks like perfect terrain for the raptor to play in... I use a soy bean fields to play in..

This is really an apple to orange comparison.

If you don't like the raptor then, why are you on this forum all the time posting videos and stuff? Just to patronize us?

Got to love Panama though!

i like the truck, the only thing i dont like right now is the suspension. could be because my father´s raptor configuration. that is the only bad thing in that truck. actually i had fun with the truck yesterday at the desert.
i locked the rear diff offroad mode tcs off transmition in manual and front camera on. just teaching my father how to use those bottoms.

yes, you told me you where here ones. think you had great time at bocas.

as seen on the yamaha rhino video, and is worst when the walls are with mud, it get slippery. this time is summer and lakes are empty too.
there are a couple good trails and fast area here that i have to go. there is another deset called sarigua, that one has not been touch yet. it is like 3 hour away from i live,

scudo de veraguas is like 3 hours on boat south from bocas. i have not been there, just been close to that area. what i have done is to go on the trails with the yamaha rhino around 4 hours muddy roads until you arrive to the beach on the caribean sea, then you can take a boat to scudo de veraguas around 2 hours boat trip.
