KiNG RAPTOR in the DESERT - NEW TRAIL: 1/8 scale FORD F150 BLUE & WHITE TRACTION HOBBY FOUNDER

This style of Trailing has GOT to be the Future! The capabilities of a 1/8th scale crawler are definitely increased over their smaller counterparts - the 1/10th scale electric trail truck. Even without the fancy upgrades I did (which was few), this truck stands on its own. The aggressive way it attacks the trail, and the suspension is awesome. I am really happy with the center of gravity as well. It seems to WANT to be on its wheels, and I like that. I really put the truck to the test today. I was running it on a 3s lipo battery, as well as the motor and esc are stock. This setup was able to handle the slightly more heavy, much more grippy tires I have installed. The stock esc could use a better drag brake.. but Im certainly not complaining. The drag break is just fine.. but in a competition setting.. I like being about to program my drag/motor brake.
I do get hung up more on the rocks with the all aluminum diff and axle covers.. but, for me this replicates what it would be like if I was truly off road in a larger vehicle.
As folks usually ask me about the products I have in my video, I have learned to list some info for you:
Picked it up at
1) Traction Hobby Cragsman C RTR - "FOUNDER" Ford F150 Raptor (Blue)
2) Added a ESS-DUAL Sound Kit from Sense Innovations
3) Tires are RC4WD 2.2 Rock Crushers, on white steel stamped Wheels
4) MKS HBL550 Steering Servo - Not waterproof - but very fast and strong.
This truck is very capable.. and I am pleased with it. There are different versions available.. so if you do get one.. make sure you get the version you like!
