Review of The Raptor 1/10 Scale Brushless Truggy

This article takes a closer look at the raptor 1/10th scale rc truggy and gives a short review of its specification, its plus points and most importantly how it performs! So read on to find out more.

The Raptor is cutting edge because no longer does it use a standard RS540 with a 7.2v battery pack but a state of the high performance brushless motor and a high power 11.1v lipo battery.

The brushless motor setup give the truggy incredible performance and reliability compared to the older RS540 and 7.2v battery setup. Another plus point is that the brushless motor requires no maintenance and the lipo battery can be fully charged in about 30 minutes.

The raptor is a very high performance model and can be used on or off road due to its low centre of gravity and unique truggy tyres.

The truggy comes fully built with everything you need to use it straight out of the box. It comes with a high quality radio control handset with interchangeable crystals, a powerful 11.1v lipo battery, charger and a special speed controller for the brushless motor. The only extra things you will need are 8 AA batteries for the radio control unit.

The truggy also comes with front and rear bevel differentials, 4WD shaft drive system a pre-painted exclusive body shell and oil filled shocks.

So how does the truggy perform? Well it is astonishingly quick and my estimations are that the raptor can easily exceed speeds of over 40mph maybe even 50 mph. It is equally capable on road as it is on rough terrain and handles incredibly well as well as being well built, tough and durable.

The best thing is that the awesome performance and specification come at a reasonable price meaning that racers can be competitive out of the box or the weekend modeller can have hours of fun for under 160! In summary, this really is an astonishing rc car that will give you hours of fun!
