Alright...so someone was asking Birdman in another forum about the RC in his signature. I tracked it down and some additional pics. Here ya go:

JConcepts Illuzion Ford F-150 Raptor SVT Super Crew Clear Body for Stampede
This is a JConcepts Illuzion Ford F-150 Raptor SVT Super Crew Clear Body for the Traxxas Stampede 4x4. JConcepts has reached new ground with the Ford Raptor SVT Super Crew Stampede 4x4 body. Officially licensed by Ford, the JConcepts Ford Raptor SVT body, specifically for the Traxxas electric Stampede 4x4, is inspired from the ground up as a scale platform to turn the Stampede into an off-road looking street-wise machine.

The Raptor SVT – F-150 body by JConcepts begins with the latest in 1:1 truck detail by incorporating the latest treatment in grill and headlight design with pronounced bumper, adding street appeal. Front and rear fender flares provide the clearance necessary to run an assortment of tires and wheels while maintaining that exclusive design. Super Crew cab design with recessed side windows, louvers along the front hood and sun-roof outline highlight a number of the front-end styling cues. Deep recessed bed area with incredible detail finish off this extraordinary, tough design.

Almost wish I knew enough about RC to tinker with it. Then I wish I had the time.

And a $199 version of the Stampede for the budget minded. Just need to add the Raptor body above.

No way. I would need the fastest motor and setup possible.

I'd stay electric unless you really want to get into RC because nitro is a finicky oily mess. Plus, electric is plenty fast if not faster than nitro these days anyway. You can always upgrade batteries and motors if you want MOAR POWR. This one is probably a bit more your speed. Its built ready to go out of the box and will go over 60mph with some upgraded batteries.

JConcepts makes excellent products.

Proline Racing also has a few Raptor bodies.

I've been in the racing side of RC for 20+ years. Traxxas makes great entry-level and hobby grade vehicles that are extremely fun; easily maintained and upgraded and are super-tough out of the box.

What's the best electric truck with a Raptor body for under 500 bucks?

It would be nice for someone that is into this RC stuff to list what you would need to buy from the Traxxx site to get a Raptor. Like do a low end list, mid end list and a high end list.
